DAHLIA FAVORlTE
FOR HOME GARDENS
Hard, Easy to Grow, strikinEly Or
naraensal, and Some sorts as
Delicate as Orchids.

There is no flower that returns
more of compelling beauty and orna-
mental effect to the amateur for the
small amount of care than the dahlia.
II is easier to plant than corn, as
hardy as a sunfiower, and requires
almost no winter care.
With its great variety Of forms and
coloring, its dense masses OF dark
green foliage and brilliant flowers
standing out in sharp relief, it is a
most useful plant for obtaining
striking effects. The flowers range
from one-half inch in diameter to
the size of huge sunfower; in col
or from maroon, which is almost
black, to a pure white, including ma
ny combinations of tints and shades,
in brilliancy rivaling the SALIVA, and
in delicacy approaching the orchid.
The simplicity of its culture, adap-
liability to soils, and production OF
numerous flowers make the dahlia a
general favorite in climates where
atmospheric conditions are moderate,
according to George T. Moore, d.
rector of the Missouri Botanic gar
dens. The plant is perennial but
tender to frost, so that it is necessary
to lift the roots in the fall, store
them during the winter, and plant
out in the spring. The planting OF
entire clumps sometimes leads to fail
ure in producing flowers, the strength
Of the plant being spent in foliage
growth. It is therefore advisable to
divide the old clumps, using but a
single tuber. AS this tuber should
contain a part of the collar Of the
plant where the new buds occur, it
is best to wait until bud develop be-
fore planting.
The distance apart for planting
varies with the varieties, but for gen
eral purposes three or four feet are
usually left between the plants. The
time of planting has been a matter
of dispute, but there is little doubt
that early planting is not as. salts
factory as late. To flower properly
the wood must be young and succu-
lent, this condition being obtained
only through a continuous period OF
growth without a check. Early-start-
ed plants are severely checked by the
heat of midsummer and either fai
to flower at all, or are killed by tbs
frost before towering. Heavy prun'
ing of woody plants may result IL
sufficient regeneration to produce
flowers. The last of May or early
June is considered the best perioc
for planting.
Light soils are best suited for dab
las, the original home of the genus
being the sandy plateau of Mexico
On very light soils manure or other
humus-producing substances should
be introduced to improve the mois-
ture-holding capacity, while heavy
soils should be hghtencd by the
introduction of sand, lime, sheep ma
nure, or bulky straw manure.
Futher treatment of dahlias after
planting consists of training them In
one of two ways: They may be al

JAP ADVERTISERS NOT SLOW

An advertising man who has re-
turned recently from the Orient says
the Japanese merchants and manu-
facturers who have occasion to make
use of printed's Ink are not disposed
to limit themselves to dull, prosaic
statements concerning the excellence
of their wares. Among the entertain
ing bits that the traveller noticed in
his study of japanese advertising are
these:
Goods dispatched expedltiously a:

parcels done up with such loving
as a wife bestows upon her husband
"The print of our books is clear as
