KAY FRANCIS 
Eastman 1 —Cordes 
Honor Roll 
A perfectly formed semi-cactus, light lemon 
yellow that never burns or fades in the hottest 
sun, also it is unharmed by wind or rain and 
regardless of the weather, perfect flowers are 
ready for all shows. 
This is a stately, dignified type of dahlia with 
5 foot stems having long joints and very beauti¬ 
ful foliage which is insect resistant. The flowers 
face and are perfectly rigid on the stem. The 
laterals develop very quickly and the plant is 
literally covered with flowers at all times. We 
have never grown or seen a dahlia that is as 
prolific as this one. It is a very remarkable 
keeper as all who saw it at the New York show 
will agree which shows its true value as a large 
sized cut flower as well as an exhibition dahlia. 
This flower is not one that will be here today 
and gone tomorrow. The consensus of opinion 
of both Judges and Growers is that Kay Francis 
will prove to be one of the most useful and widely 
grown dahlias.
