TO OUR FLOWER LOVING FRIENDS AND PATRONS 
GREETING: 
It gives us much pleasure to hand you our 1935 catalog of Dahlias, Gladiolus and 
Japanese Irises, and to extend to all our appreciative thanks for your generous patronage 
in the years that have passed. 
Dahlias, Gladiolus and Japanese Irises have been our hobby and pleasure for many 
years, and our breeding work with these wonder-flowers has always been the most interest¬ 
ing part of our long years of labor in the horticultural world. We have originated many 
varieties of high class Dahlias, Gladiolus and Japanese Irises, and we are much gratified to 
know many of our originations and introductions have found their way into the best gar¬ 
dens in almost every section of the world where they can be grown. 
If you have never grown Dahlias, Gladiolus, Japanese Irises, try them this year. They 
are not difficult to grow, and will thrive in soil that will grow a good crop of corn or pota¬ 
toes. If you have no room for the large flowered, tall growing Dahlias, try a few Pom Poms 
and miniatures. They are dwarf and require but little room, and you will be more than 
delighted with the marvellously beautiful colored blooms they will produce in such great 
abundance from July until cut down by frost. If you have a corner where a few clumps 
of Japanese Irises can be planted, they will lighten up your garden and supply marvellously 
beautiful flowers for cutting the latter part of June or early July, just at a time when they 
will be most appreciated. No garden should be without one or more plantings of Gladiolus. 
They will brighten the corners and vacant spots in the hardy border, and provide the very 
choicest cut blooms for the home. 
Our originations and introductions were again big prize winners the past season, both 
in the U. S. and many foreign countries, and to our long list of winnings in past years, 
they swelled the list by the addition of 10 medal, trophy and cash prizes. They are win¬ 
ners everywhere. 
We have the best stock of Dahlias, Gladiolus and Japanese Irises we have grown in 
years, and are prepared to supply our customers with as good stock as can be had from 
anywhere, and all who place their orders with us can rest assured they will be filled with 
the very best stock it is possible to produce. 
Please do not lay this catalog aside until you have examined every page. You are al¬ 
most sure to find something listed therein that you will wish to have in your garden this 
year, and at prices as reasonable as is consistent with the production of high quality stock. 
Bespeaking a liberal share of your 1935 business, for which we are pleased to thank 
you in advance, we remain. 
Yours for better flowers, 
KEMP’S GARDENS, Breeders and Growers^
