INFORMATION—DAHLIAS 
Dahlias should not be planted until the ground is warm, usually 
around the first part of April. Dig a hole about six inches deep in 
rich, well pulverized soil. Place the root on the side with the eye 
up and a stake firmed into the soil two inches out from where 
the stem will grow. Cover with two inches of soil and fill in the 
remainder of the hole as the plant grows. After several sets of 
leaves have developed pinch off the top so that it will grow 
bushy and strong. Cultivate often, feed regularly, and mulch 
with peat moss when the blooms appear.
