THE THIRTY-FIRST 
Orange Flame.. 
Dahlias in 1954 
In our locality the 3 year drought 
was still with us till July 21st when 
heavy rains started and continued on 
and off through August. As a result 
most varieties grew good to heavy 
clumps of tubers. We have realized 
anew that most heavy watering is re- 
quired to get the best out of Dahlias, 
during a drought period. 
In 1954 the best blooms were in 
| August and early September. On ac- 
count of the dry May, June and early 
July we did not harvest cut flowers 
till Aug. 10. It is our intention, when 
another dry spring occurs, to irrigate 
the plants heavily even though they 
are small.
