LOMBARD’S DAHLIA GARDENS 
7 
Satan, S. C. —Flaming red with a slight touch of gold 
at the center. The exquisite coloring is at once fas¬ 
cinating, but what formation and stems! The horn¬ 
like petals, so perfectly rolled and incurved, give 
rare form and character to a flower of unusual bril¬ 
liancy. The rugged, almost leaflless, stems give the 
impression of being nearly as thick at the top as at 
the base. No Dahlia in existence, we believe, is 
more sensational and spectacular than this giant 
Cactus. Wherever exhibited it becomes the general 
favorite. At both San Francisco shows last year it 
was awarded a Gold Medal as the best flower in the 
Show. At New York it was runner up for largest 
Dahlia and it won as best flower at several other 
shows. At Stour’s Ofiicial Trail Gardens it scored 
87 .1.10

standing of recent originations .58

rich, deep velvety red almost black in the center 
shading through carmine to Tyrian rose at the end 
of the petals. Fine stems. Bushes covered with

are medium height, wide spreading, of sturdy 
growth and are tremendously prolific, the plants 
being literally covered with bloom from early to 
late. A Dahlia of noble and spectacular appear¬ 
ance. Winner of first prize in the undisseminated 
Seedling Class at Baltimore, Md., and Red Bank,
