LOMBARD’S DAHLIA GARDEN 
S 
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, H. C. —A huge Hybrid Cac¬ 
tus of a beautiful rose “du Barry” shade, overlaid 
and suffused with old ivory, shading off to pale gold 
at center. Reverse of petals light carmine pink. 
An early and free bloomer .37 
Dwight W. Morrow, I. D. —A gigantic red Dahlia that 
is admired by everyone. Not only does the size 
and form of bloom make all who see it ardent ad¬ 
mirers, but its richness of color makes it one of the 
most spectacular Dahlias. This Dahlia likes heavy 
soil and will stand quite rich culture. It is a 
healthy grower with heavy leathery foliage, but 
should be topped once or twice and disbudded for 
terminal buds. It is by far the most outstanding 
red Dahlia we have ever seen. At the Atlantic City 
Show it won first in the Informal Decorative Seed¬ 
ling Class . 1.15 
Derrill W. Hart, I. D. —Considered by many growers to 
be one of Mr. Broomall’s greatest originations; 
anyway it was good enough to win many high hon¬ 
ors in the keenest competition. Color, capucine- 
yellow, shading to grenadine-red, in cold weather 
almost a copper color. The large, well-formed 
blooms are held erect on long, stiff stems . 55 
Dr. John H. Carman, F. D. —A large, deep, broad-petal- 
ed tyrian-rose flower tipped petunia and silver on 
stiff and heavy stem 11 to 22 inches long with neck 
of equal strength. Flowering habit very good and 
lasting . 50 
Edna Ferber, S. C.—Hybrid Cactus; the extreme size 
and beauty of this flower attracts attention wher¬ 
ever shown. The petals are curled and twisted, 
forming an extremely full flower held erect on fine 
stems. Color glistening coral, shading to old gold 
at base of petals .43 
Elkridge, I. D .—This splendid white Decorative won 
the medal for best new white and also the achieve¬ 
ment medal at the A. D. S. show at N. Y. in 1926. 
Large, fine formed flowers borne on splendid stems .32 
Earl Williams, I. D.— An essentially attractive varie¬ 
gated variety whose flowers are of large size, of 
splendid formation of a brilliant crimson scarlet 
color. Each petal is tipped with white . 40 
Eleanor Martin, F. D. —Blooms are very large on stiff 
stems. The form of the flower is of the best exhi¬ 
bition type, in fact it combines all the good points 
which go to make a perfect Decorative. The color 
is a beautiful mulberry suffused with gold .27 
Elsie Daniels, S. C. —A wonderful Dahlia, hybrid in 
type, of pale violet orchid on the long, shaggy outer 
petals, and running white towards the center; an 
incomparable combination of coloring .24 
Elinor Yandeveer, F. D. —An incomparable Dahlia of 
exquisite beauty and great size, having every de¬ 
sirable quality. The large blossoms are of a glow¬ 
ing satiny rose pink .23 
F. W. Fellows, C. —An intense coral red with a deeper 
suffusion at the center. For a long time it has 
stood foremost among the cactus varieties. Flow¬ 
ers of unusual size for the long narrow petaled 
type . 40 
Fort Monmouth, I. D. —One of the giants of the Dahlia 
world. The predominating color is a rich crimson 
maroon, with shading of bluish violet at tips of 
petals. The flowers are well formed and of true 
semi-cactus type of immense size and are borne on 
long, stiff stems high above the foliage and look 
you right in the face . 49
