BADETTY BROTHERS DAHLIAS 
JAMES KIRBY 
A superb informal decorative of real exhibition 
size. In color this strikingly beautiful flower lias 
been referred to as resembling a glowing ruby. Its 
dazzling brilliance combined with richness is not 
matched in any other dahlia in cultivation. It may 
be described briefly as crimson blending gradually 
to a deeper ruby tone at the center—a color that does 
not fade or burn in the sun. 
The graceful clean-cut formation of the bloom, 
which may be noted in the accompanying illustration, 
combined with the rare coloring, produce a charm¬ 
ing effect. 
The plant is a vigorous grower reaching 7 feet 
in height. The blooms are correctly poised on 
strong stems that we have often cut up to 5 feet in 
length for our exhibitions. 
Besides being an Honor Roll Dahlia this variety 
has received the A. D. S. Certificate of Merit and 
won first honors and a silver trophy in the A. D. S. 
Show for best 1933 introduction and been awarded 
numerous other first prizes. 
Testimony has reached us from various sections 
that James Kirby has proved to be the best red 
exhibition dahlia for cutting introduced to date.
