LOMBARDS DAHLIA GARDEN 
Margaret Masson, I. D.— A beautiful silvery rose pink, 
Flower of great depth and size, wonderful exhibi¬ 
tion variety on account of its good keeping quali¬ 
ties .24 
Myra Valentine, F. D. —One of the most satisfactory 
Dahlias on the market today. Of a golden bronze 
color, it holds its head up in the air on a three 
foot stem. A vigorous grower, free bloomer of ex¬ 
hibition variety .24 
MacGregor, S. C. —Vigor, resistance to leaf hopper and 
freedom of bloom. What other good qualities does 
one need in a Dahlia? Beauty, and this flower is a 
pure spectrum red of excellent form and large size, 
medium height .21 
Marmion, F. D. —This flower is of such enormous size 
and great depth and looks so massive among the 
surrounding Dahlias as to dwarf them all. The 
long, cane-like stems hold the huge blooms erect. 
Color is pure golden yellow with bronze suffusions 
on the reverse of j^etals, and the deeper bronzy 
on tone the high, full center and outline of same 
shade around each petal enhances the beauty of the 
flower and gives it an unusual appearance .33 
Nellie Austin, I. D.— Peach red shot with buff yellow, 
giving the flower a bronze effect. Blooms heavy 
with a small, curled, buff yellow petal, appearing at 
the base of each large petal. Flowers large, of per¬ 
fect form, on long erect stems standing high above 
the foliage on a tall plant; 9 to 10-inch flowers 
grown easily. A prize winner wherever entered.55 
Omar Khayyam, F. D. —This much admired Dahlia was 
certified with one of the highest scores at Stors’ 
Trial Grounds the past season, and was recommend¬ 
ed for certificate at the New Jersey Trial Grounds. 
The unusual coloring is a Chinese red at the base 
cf the petals, shading to bright orange and tipped 
lighter, making a wonderful soft color effect. It 
is a tall, healthy grower with strong foliage and, 
incidentally, a good root maker .95 
Papillon, S. C. —One of the big fellows. A wonderfully 
improved George Walters. A beautiful shade of 
old rose with golden lights, but decidedly different 
in coloring from the hybrid cactus which it resem¬ 
bles closely in type and size . .24 
Pride of Stratford, I. D.— The color of this beautiful 
Decorative Dahlia is very striking being a brilliant 
shade of cadmium orange shading slightly to 
orange yellow at base of petals when fully open. 
Stems are long and sturdy .24 
Penn Charter, F. D.— A very attractive well center and 
stem. Color is a clear golden yellow, tinted apricot 
and is a deep, massive, graceful flower. Plant tall 
and vigorous with large thick leaves. Winner of 
the silver medal at the Pennsylvania Horticultural 
Society 1929 Shew as best established seedling.55 
Queen of the Garden Beautiful, F. D. — It is a large 
primrose yellow with a strong stem, perfect type. 
A flower that fulfills the dream of Dahlia lovers. 
One of the largest of all Dahlias, measuring from 9 
to 12 inches across, grown without forcing .41 
Robert Scott, F. D.—A large, deep and most artistic 
flower, ranging in color from palest gold to a deep 
golden apricot. Stems, long, stiff and rigid. Fine 
for garden, exhibition or cut flower .24
