Dahlias must have moisture at the roots to do well. Therefore, during a 
drought like we had last season, they must be soaked once a week in order to 
keep them growing and insure a good tuber crop and good flowers. 
In 1953 our rainfall was 13 inches less than normal, with the driest months 
in July, August, September and October, just when the Dahlias need rain the most. 
We lost several big trees from the drought but kept our Dahlias growing by 
overhead irrigation.
