Kellogg? Honor Roll DAHLIAS 
Sturdy, showy Dahlias contribute their full share 
to the late summer and autumn garden. For gen- 
erations they have been among the favorite flowers 
for exhibition, for some types reach an enormous 
size. Like other plants, they have been greatly 
improved in recent years by hybridizers who have 
introduced many new forms and colors. 
Dahlia tubers are planted in spring when frost is 
over. They need a location in full sun, in moist 
but well-drained soil. Too rich a soil is to be avoided. 
The crowns of the tubers are set 4 to 6 inches below 
the ground surface. Plants should be staked se- 
curely to prevent wind damage. Largest flowers 
are obtained if side buds are removed from the stems 
and feedings of liquid manure given as the buds be- 
gin to form. After frost has killed the foliage, the 
tubers should be taken up, dried well and stored for 
the winter. 
From the long list of Dahlia varieties, we have 
chosen a representative group of top-notch large- 
flowered varieties and pompons.

CAN NAS — For Your Formal Garden and Beds 
These are popular summer bedding plants that 
make very bold and striking color effects. They 
bloom throughout the summer, until cut down by 
frost. The large foliage in different shades of green 
and bronze is exotic looking. Cannas need plenty of 
space and water. Plants are set 18 to 24 inches 
apart in beds. To provide good drainage, the bed
