Kemp’s Black Knight 
KEMP’S BLACK KNIGHT —I. D. (No. 7-W). We are unable to find a color in Ridgeway’s 
color chart that matches the color of this giant dahlia. The nearest we can come to 
it is dark velvety maroon, almost black. The flowers are of great size, often up to 
14 inches in diameter, and are held high above the foliage on thick stiff stems. In the 
early part of the season, most of the blooms face upward, later most of them face 
front. Plant is a very strong grower, attaining to a height of 6 to 7 feet, wide spread¬ 
ing and prolific of bloom, from early season until frost. A spectacular dahlia of un¬ 
usual interest and attracted as much attention in our garden the past season as any 
dahlia among the dozens we had on trial. 
Strong divisions, each $7.50; Plants, each $3.75 
LADY GAY —(No. 1-33). This beautiful informal decorative dahlia is a real Lady’s Flow¬ 
er. Its delicate coloring, combined with the artistic finish of flower, gives it refined 
feminine touch rarely found in any flower. It was much admired by the many lady 
visitors to our gardens the past season. The colors are a combination of bright lemon, 
yellow, tipped begonia rose, the rear petals later changing to almost solid begonia rose 
as the flower becomes fully blown. Flower is about 8 inches in diameter, and 6-7 
inches in depth, and are held high above the foliage of! the tall stately plant on long 
stiff stems. Plant is a very strong grower, many branched and an abundant bloomer 
from early season until killing frost.
