CULTURE: Plant roots with live eyes 
in hills or drills lying flat down, 6 inches 
deep. Care must be taken that the bulbs 
do not come in direct contact with fertilizer. 
Work fertilizer into the soil before planting 
and then apply about % inch of good garden 
soil over this before planting. Dahlias, for 
best results, should be spaced in rows at 
least 3 feet apart and at least 18 inches 
apart in the row. Keep well cultivated. 
Please Note: Bulbs are not mailed until 
weather permits about April 15th. 
After the frost has killed the tops, dig 
the tubers, remove the tops and turn upside 
down for a few hours, leaving as much dirt 
on the clump as possible. Store in a cool 
root cellar away from furnace heat. In the 
spring, divide the tubers, making sure that 
at least one live eye, which is on a portion 
of the crown, is on each division you plant, 
Bulbs without eyes are worthless.
