The History of the Dahlia
Tie dahlia was first discovered in Mexico in 1615, where it was growing m. the wilderness of the Sierras in myriads of many colors and all with open centres.
The Spanish botanists, Cervantes and Cavanilles, were the first to appre- ciate the greatness of this flower. Seeds of the dahlia were received at the Royal Gardens at Madrid in 1789 by Abbe Cavanilles. The first of these seeds flowered in 1790, producing semi-double flowers which were named after Dr. Andrew Dahl, a Swedish botanist, thus giving the dahlia its name as we have it today.
Previous to 1814 we have no record of there being a double dahlia, the first to be produced by the Botanic Gardens of Brussels, Belgium. Many countries in Europe had made attempts to grow this flower, but were with- out success. The dahlia in its wild state grew in high elevations and in low temperatures and when this information was conveyed to European growers they made noticeable advancement.
As early as 1814 there were about twelve distinct varieties and, for the next twenty yeai*s, few more varieties had been added.
The first Cactus variety was introduced in 1864 in Mexico and sent to England and named Jouerzi in honor of President Jouerez, of Mexico. It was exhibited in London in 1880, and was the means of many new dahlias being introduced, being the parent flower of many varieties existing today.
The first success with dahlias in our own country was about 1832, when they were exhibited at the Pennsylvania Horticulture Exhibition, the roots having been imported from Europe.
In the following twenty years the possibilities of the dahlia had ex- ceeded all expectations and the dahlia as we know it today would cause the botanist of previous days to stand in amazement.
More than 8000 varieties have been introduced and named up to this time; each year new introductions appear and older ones are dispensed with. The older varieties in order to be retained must possess unusual merit.

THE SELECTION. — The first and most important thing to be consid- ered in growing dahlias successfully. First, select the stock from a reliable grower, where you obtain healthy stock free from stunt and disease. The best stock is always cheaper at a higher price than inferior stock at a low
price.
The personal likes and dislikes are second to be considered, and no one can do this for you entirely, but much assistance can be offered if you state the type, color, etc. Often the grower can make a better selection, knowing the habits and form of the various varieties than the buyer, and when the selection is left to us, we make the selection with the same care we would for ourselves and do not take this means of dispensing with varie- ties we wish to discard, but send varieties that we have in large quantities and feel there will be ample left to meet all requirements.
We specialize in Dahlias.

THE LOCATION. — Select an open sunny location in which to plant your dahlias, out of the reach of trees. Dahlias will not grow well if planted near a wall or solid board fence; they require plenty of fresh air and sun- shine. It is very necessary that the tubers have good drainage as they will not thrive with wet feet. Where the soil is heavy sufficient drainage can be obtained by placing sand beneath the plant at the time of planting.
PREPARATION. — The soil is very important and if the ground for planting is selected in the fall and decomposed manure spaded under at that time, the first task is well begun. In the spring keep the soil well cultivated until time of planting and do not permit the weeds to grow. The kind of soil is not nearly so important as the condition. At time of plant- ing spade the soil well to a depth of twelve to fourteen inches and if the soil is not sufficiently moist it should be wet in advance of planting time.

THE PLANTING. — The time for planting in this vicinity is from May 20 to June 15, although many dahlias planted as late as August have bloomed very successfully. In most instances this late planting is not advisable as the danger of frost is great. The rows should be four feet apart and the plants three feet apart in the row. The upper part of the tuber should be four inches below the surface. Lay the tuber flat with the eyes or sprouts up and never stand the tuber on end. It takes two to three weeks for the plant to come through the ground, and they should not be disturbed.

JERSEY BEAUTY — The best pink dahlia. This variety has been very popular with dahlia fans as it is perfect in every respect. The flowers

THE CULTIVATION.— Do not cultivate when the soil is wet. Hoc carefully to prevent a crust forming; the deeper the soil can be worked the longer it will hold the moisture. Much care must be exercised when culti- vating before the plants can be seen, as they are easily broken.
FERTILIZING.— It is a good time to apply manure on the surface in the autumn and better results are obtained if turned under, but if this has not already been accomplished, work it in with the hoe when the plants are well above the ground. When the plants are beginning to bud apply a good concentrated fertilizer containing phosphoric acid and potash; avoid rich nitrogenous fertilizers, as they make an overabundance of foliage at the expense of flowers and roots and the tubers are poor keepers. They shrivel very quickly and are always soft and inferior. An application of bone meal worked in between the rows when the flowers are beginning to bloom is of much assistance to the flowers and roots.

DISBUDDING. — To get the best blooms it is necessary to disbud, other- wise they will become bushy and mature and harden up, giving only inferior flowers. By following the instructions (the process being very simple) you will have more pleasing results. First, permit only one shoot to remain (never more than two), selecting the most hearty one, removing all others. Pinch out the top when the second set of leaves appear, thus making the plant branch out and support itself on all sides. When the lateral shoots or flower branches develop flower buds, at every pair of leaves on the branch a new set of shoots appear and when they develop enough to remove with the fingers, remove all except the last one at the base of the branch and when cutting the flower cut down to the remaining shoot, when it will also develop a long flower stem and put forth a flower. In the late autumn cease this operation and let the plant grow, as this helps to mature the roots.
We send strong divisions that are sure to grow.

DAHLIA SEED
Dahlias are easily grown from seed and every plant grown from seed is an entirely new variety and is sometimes better than the original flower.
Our special strain of seed is gathered with great care from the new and best varieties. All varieties from which we save seeds have many good points. Most of the varieties are California introductions. The seeds should be planted early in the spring indoors and replanted in the open when all danger of frost is past. Many new seedlings will bloom the first year.
Each package contains fifty seeds or more 50c
It is always a pleasure to hear of the success our friends have in grow- ing dahlias and also a pleasure to assist them whenever possible.
DIGGING AND STORING THE ROOTS.— Lift the roots when frost has destroyed the plants, exercising great care* so as not to break the necks of the tubers. The clumps should be stored upside down in a cool frost- proof cellar, carefully covered with dry sand, peat or something that will prevent them from drying out.
Healthy roots make healthy plants
