KEMP’S WHITE WONDER, I. D. (93) 
The greatest informal decorative white dahlia ever intro¬ 
duced. The white dahlia we have long waited for is here 
at last. One of the most sensational dahlias introduced 
in recent years. A veritable giant in size, beautifully 
finished, bountiful bloomer, strong grower, prolific tuber 
maker. Bush is a strong vigorous grower, attaining to a 
height of 5 to 6 feet, is wide spreading, with many 
branches from the ground up, each terminating with a 
giant bloom, held erect on stiff cane-like stems. The 
foliage is very thick, leathery-like, and very resistant to 
injury from insect attacks. And in addition to all its 
other good qualities, it is an abundant producer of large 
tubers, and the greatest number of feeding roots of any 
dahlia we have ever grown, which insures its permanency 
as one of the great dahlias for both exhibition and deco¬ 
rative uses. ON THE AMERICAN HOME' HONOR ROLL 
FOR 1932. A sensation in our garden last fall and two 
blooms with two Satan won for us at Detroit for four 
largest blooms in the show. They make a great pair.

KENTUCKY, (85) 
This dahlia has the same ideal characteristics as Jersey 
Beauty, of which it is a sport, and apparently a stronger 
grower. Its color is the Jersey’s Beauty pink with yellow 
and gold blended, making it more of a salmon pink. 
Plants are tall, stems strong and straight. Excellent for 
cutting.

LA FIESTA, I. D. (88) 
A large informal decorative of butter yellow pencilled 
red. A true variegated dahlia made up of a mass of 
lacy petals that curl and twist so that the flower looks 
like a huge chrysanthemum. The plant is about four and 
a half feet tall, and the gigantic flowers are held well 
above the foliage. No forcing is necessary as the flower 
is naturally large and will win in many shows as largest 
flower. Greatly admired by all who saw it during 1933.
