GROWING DAHLIAS 
PLANT after danger of frost. Hole about 
6” deep. Set stake at planting time. Thor- 
oughly mix in cup of bone-meal or rotted 
manure. Place tuber flat with sprout up. 
Cover lightly. Fill in as plant grows. 
WATER well when you plant and give thor- 
ough soaking every week to 10 days after. 
FERTILIZE with one good application of 
barn manure and several light applications 
of commercial when blooming. 
CONTROL BUGS with DDT or Lindane for 
thrip, Leaf Hoppers, and cucumber or 
spotted beetle. Tobacco dust or spray for 
aphis. Parathion for Red Spider mites. 
6 FT. STAKE 
CUT FLOWERS late afternoon or early 
morning. Boil stems 90 seconds then im- 
merse in deep water in cool place several 
hours before arranging. 
DIG DAHLIAS late in fall, usually after frost. 
Lift carefully and store in cool (35° to 50°) 
place. Inspect monthly. If tubers shrivel, 
storage is too hot and dry. Mold can be 
controlled with ample ventilation.
