LOMBARD’S DAHLIA GARDEN 
5 
Kathleen Norris, I. D. —Was an outstanding Dahlia at 
eastern shows in 1928 where it was awarded the 
highest honors and has since been a consistent 
prize winner wherever shown. Gigantic flowers of 
rose pink slightly paler in center. A very full and 
deep flower borne on long, stout stems. A distinc¬ 
tively beautiful flower that stands right up to be 
seen and admired .60 
Lillian Baldwin, F. D. —A beautiful cut flower with color 
between rose pink and crushed strawberry. Win¬ 
ner of the Darnell Cup for best keeping variety 
at A. D. S. Show in New York in 1926 and 1927 . 26 
My Maryland, S. C.—A beautiful Hybrid Cactus of 
unusually delicate pink with the faintest suggestion 
of lavender. The petals twist in an attractive man¬ 
ner. The flower is large, carried on an excellent 
stem ...47 
Monmouth Champion, F. D. —Winner of a special award 
at Elizabeth, N. J., and as best undisseminated 
seedling at Red Bank, N. J., where it defeated some 
of the top notchers. This great Dahlia compares 
favorably with Fort Monmouth, Violet Wonder, 
Jane Cowl, Kathleen Norris, and other top notchers 
of recent introduction. It instantly found favor 
with all who saw it in our gardens and the show 
rooms by its great size, and brilliant orange flame 
color that fairly glistens from its own color .62 
Mrs. Alfred B. Beal, F. D. —Undoubtedly the largest and 
finest pure, rich, glowing old rose Dahlia ever pro¬ 
duced. Nothing we have ever seen can even re¬ 
motely approach it. Such an unusual coloring— 
the softest, richest shade of absolutely pure, grow¬ 
ing old rose imaginable, without a trace of any 
other color. The flowers are huge, and of great 
depth and substance, and are held proudly erect 
above a fine strong, tall bush, on long, stiff stems. 
Awarded the Achievement Medal, offered by the 
Publishers of The American Home for the best new 
Dahlia .55 
Mrs. J. T. Scheepers, F. D. —The flowers are giants 
among giants, produced on strong stems as stiff as 
a cane. On opening they are of a clear, golden 
primrose which gradually changes to a delicate 
shade of pink suffusion on the outer petals .21 
Mariposa, S. C.—This magnificent Dahlia has created a 
furore wherever exhibited. It is a perfectly form¬ 
ed hybrid type of long, narrow, incurved petals, 
twisted and curled, of a most beautiful shade of 
pink, with a deeper colored center .24 
Mrs. Ethel F. T. Smith, S. C. —Creamy white, shading 
to a lemon tint in the center. A very large Dahlia 
producing blooms up to 10% inches in diameter 
without disbudding. A profuse bloomer with flow¬ 
ers held well above the foliage on strong stems.20 
Mrs. I. de ver Warner, F. D. —It is a refined, deep mauve 
pink, beautifully formed, exquisite shade, and ac¬ 
knowledged by all Dahlia experts who have had 
the pleasure of growing it to be one of the finest 
Dahlias ever produced .19 
Margaret Woodrow Wilson, I. D.—Is an exhibition type. 
Decorative, of large size and great beauty. Color 
is opalescent pink. Face of petals creamy white, 
reverse phlox pink, the reflection from reverse of 
petals giving the whole flower an opalescent effect .23
