© Michelli. Toa Quality Dahidas 
Time of SHIPMENT: Unless specially requested, tubers will be shipped March 15 to June 1; 
plants, May 15 to June 15. 
CULTURE: Dahlias are at their best during the latter part of September or early October. To 
get exhibition blooms, disbud plants up to August 1. Spade or plow the soil 1 to 11% feet deep; 
fertilize with manure or Hyper-Humus; scatter about 44 pound of bone-meal around each hill 
when planting. If soil is very heavy, incorporate a liberal quantity of granulated peat moss. 
About August 1, apply about 4 pound bonemeal to each plant and work in thoroughly; sheep 
manure can be substituted for bonemeal at this time to good advantage.
