SHALIMAR, I. I). 
Originated by Mr. Burkard of Port Huron. It’s the great 
poinsett'a red everyone has been waiting for. A sensation 
at the State show in Detroit, 1933, and at our Mid West 
show in Grand Rapids, 1934. Blooms are extra large on 
long, strong stems and it does not fade in the garden. 
Plants Only $5.00 
WENOKA, F. I). (88), LL. 
This variety was a sensation in the trial gardens at East 
Lansing and is one of the greatest dahlias I’ve ever seen. 
It is also one of my favorite colors, an improved Orinda, 
same exceptional stems carrying the great blooms way 
above the foliage. On two 1934 Honor Rolls. 
Plants Only $10.00 
We will have a few plants to spare of these 1934 Honor 
Roll varieties at the originators’ prices: Mrs. Geo. Le 
Boutillier. Rockley Moon, Adirondack Sunset, California 
Idol, Edith A. Lehman, America’s Sweetheart, and a 
few others. 
Mr. D. O. Eldredge, editor of the Mid-West Dahlia 
News, visited the Dahlia Gardens in the Grand Rapids 
vicinity after attending the two-day Mid-West Show held 
in Grand Rapids. This is his report as written in the 
November issue: 
“Zant’s Wildwood Gardens, containing three acres, all 
under electric light and water lines, has the appearance 
of an enormous sunken garden. Thousands of persons 
visit this garden annually and it is claimed to be Mich¬ 
igan’s finest dahlia garden. No chance to find fault with 
the appearance of plants here. Monmouth Queen, a light 
yellow decorative, stood out in this garden. A large 
American Beauty colored variety, labeled 3-32, which is 
a Kemp seedling, appears to have the ‘goods.’ Ida Eliza¬ 
beth, a yellow seedling of Parker-Hume, looked good, as 
did Edward Rindfleisch and Mardi Gras. Mr. Zant was 
ill, so did not have an opportunity for a desired chat.” 
Note: No. 3-32 is Daddy Kemp on Hart’s 1934 Honor 
Roll.
