DAHLIA CULTURE 
Dahlias should be planted after frost danger 
when ground warms in the spring. They 
need good garden soil, well fertilized and 
containing plenty of humus. Plant tubers 
about three feet apart each way, 
PLANT TUBERS HORIZONTALLY in the hole 
about six inches deep. Cover about 2 
inches and fill in hole as the shoots grow, 
Put stake in the ground at time of planting 
to avoid disturbing roots later. For Southern 
gardens especially, keep mulch around the 
plants to keep roots cool. 
TO PRODUCE BEST BLOOMS on large types, 
pinch out all buds except center one on 
every lateral branch, 
DIG PLANTS AFTER FIRST FROST KILLS 
TOPS. Cut tops off at once, dry tubers in 
sun then store in cool place where there 
is no danger of freezing.
