Abstract
The annual flower trials were planted from 30 May through 4
June, 1999 in the Perennial Landscape and All America Selections
Display Garden of the Georgeson Botanical Garden (64°51N,
147°52W). Fairbanks silt loam soil was fertilized with 1 0 -2 0 -2 0 S (4
lbs per 100 sq feet, 195 g per sq meter) on 28 May. With the exception
of dahlias, all flowers were grown as seedling transplants and
were hardened off outdoors for one week prior to transplanting.
Tuberous roots of dahlias were planted in containers five weeks
prior to transplanting and were hardened off
