HOW TO PLANT DAHLIAS. Plant in late spring when the ground is warm. They should have 
good, well-drained soil and a sunny location. Plant 2 ft. apart, setting Tuber 6 inches deep, 
on its side with eye up, covering with 3 inches of earth pressed firmly. Fill hole gradually 
as plant grows. Nip the ends of the main shoots when about 12 inches tall to encourage 
more bloom. Water heavily at planting time, and thereafter as needed. 
Dig after first frost in fall. Cut tops to roots and store upside down in cool, dry cellar. 
or cave, or place in box and cover with a mixture of Peat Moss and dry sand.
