Excerpt from Bulbs for Spring Planting: Dahlias, Gladioli, Cannas, Iris, Phlox, Lilies, Peonies, and Perennial Plants For those planting Dahlias for the first time this Spring a word as to the culture 18 added With the hope of insuring the joy of success. The soil need not be very rich, a sandy or gravelly $011 suits them best, as any good garden soil. It should be well prepared, to a good depth. Do not manure very heavily as it will develop the growth of foliage instead of flowers. Plant the tubers about two and one-half feet apart and cover with four to six inches of earth. They may be planted after the frost is over, late May or early June. When the buds appear, in late August, is a good time to give them a tonic to develop the bloom. A tablespoonful of nitrate of soda spread about the base of the plant will be a wonderful tonic. After frost in the Fall dig the tubers very carefully, be sure not to break the neck. Store in a dry, cool cellar for the Winter. Divide the roots to one eye before planting in the Spring. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
