LOMBARD’S DAHLIA GARDENS 
Nellie Austin, I. D. —Peach red shot with buff yellow, 
giving the flower a bronze effect. Blooms heavy 
with a small, curled, buff yellow petal, appearing at 
the base of each large petal. Flowers large, of per¬ 
fect form, on long, erect stems standing high above 
the foliage on a tall plant.38 
Omar Khayyam, F. D. —This much admired Dahlia 
was certified with one of the highest scores at 
Storr’s Trial Grounds. The unusual coloring is a 
Chinese red at the base of the petals, shading to 
bright orange and tipped lighter, making a wonder¬ 
ful soft color effect. It is a tall, healthy grower 
with strong foliage and, incidentally, a good root 
maker .50 
Pansy G. White, S. C.—Pure shade of golden yellow 
originating in Kentucky. It is the most attractive 
gardening flower due to its free habits and upright 
growth. A Certificate of Merit from Storr’s Trial 
Gardens, and making the Dahlia Roll of Honor were 
among its accomplishments .75 
Papillon, S. C.—A wonderfully improved George Wal¬ 
ters. A beautiful shade of old rose with golden 
lights, but decidedly different in coloring from the 
Hybrid Cactus which it resembles closely in type 
and size .24 
Penn Charter, F. D. —A very attractive well center 
and stem. Color is a clear golden yellow, tinted 
apricot and is a deep, massive, graceful flower. 
Plant tall and vigorous with large thick leaves.45 
Prince of Persia, I. D. —Without exception the very 
finest red Dahlia we have ever had. The immense 
flowers, frequently a foot in diameter, are of the 
deepest, most irridescent, rich glowing crimson, like 
the petals of a rose, rather than a Dahlia; of great 
depth and substance, and carried perfectly erect on 
exceptionally long, stiff stems. The bush is of a 
most vigorous growth and very tall, so that the 
Prince of Persia looks down on the average Dahlia 
in a truly royal manner.50 
Queen of the Garden Beautiful, F. D. —It is a large 
primrose yellow with a strong stem, perfect type. 
A flower that fulfills the dream of Dahlia lovers.50 
Roman Eagle, F. D. —A flower that is typically an 
autumn shade, which has helped make the Dahlia 
“King of the Autumn Season.” Large exhibition 
Decorative of a flaming, brilliant, burnished copper 
color .24 
Rose Fallon, F. D. —Most wonderful flower of enor¬ 
mous size, held erect on straight, strong stems; this 
magnificent bloom is a beautiful color of deep old 
gold of the finest type.27 
Saladini, F. D. —This is one of the truly outstanding 
Dahlias, its strong points being reliability of bloom, 
profusion and sturdiness of growth. A clear apri¬ 
cot orange. Buckeye Bride is the only variety that 
equals Saladini in cut-flower production .35 
Sanhican’s Queen, F. D. —A Dahlia of unusual color, 
described as honey-dew, which is a blending of apri¬ 
cot with a faint blushing of carmine rose, deepen¬ 
ing towards the center. Stems are absolutely per¬ 
fect being strong, stiff and canelike and holding 
the flowers in a proud and showy manner.35
