SUCCESS DAHLIA GARDENS, LAWRENCE, MASSACHUSETTS 
MARGARET E. BROOMALL 
'^World’s Champion Dahlia^' 
U. S. Plant Patent No. 36 
The above bloom of “Margaret E. Broomall” held by little Joan Wessman was 
over 14 inches in diameter and was grown by Mr. Rufus E. Smith of Bellerose, N. Y. 
He writes: “At Mineola ‘Margaret E. Broomall’ took the blue ribbon for the best 
three, with two ‘Prince of Persia.’ After the judging the Trustees placed the Supreme 
Award on it alone for the best exhibit in the show. Hundreds eame to our garden 
to see it and many asked where they could get it and I told them.’’ 
The American Dahlia Society have put their stamp of approval to its undisputed 
claim as Champion by its record at their only official Trial Garden at Storrs, Conn., 
where it was the largest Dahlia ever grown there by inches in diameter with the 
highest score for any Dahlia in the world—93. 
Green plants only again this year under our Patent Restrictions and a limited 
quantity. Plants $15.00 each; two plants $25.00. No orders accepted on our regular 
order blanks.
