KEMP’S GARDENS 
WHITE DAHLIAS 
CROYDON—I. D. We introduced this fine white, spring of 1932, but were compelled to omit 
it from our 1933 catalog on account of scarcity of stock. We now have a small stock of 
good roots to offer and at a price you can afford to pay. The flowers are pure white, and 
grow to 10 inches and over across, and the flowers are borne on very sturdy stems facing. 
If the center bud is taken out and the best one of the side buds be allowed to develop, 
the flower will be held high above the foliage. The plant is a tall sturdy grower, 
well branched and quite prolific of large exhibition blooms

JOAN OF ARC—I. D. (No. 917-30). This fine white dahlia originated with us in 1930, and 
has been tested in gardens of our friends from Canada to as far south as Tennessee and 
the reports from the various sections of the country have been so encouraging we have 
decided to introduce it. The plant is of rather dwarf habit, with many side branches, 
and is exceedingly prolific of bloom. Fine for garden and house decoration and for 
exhibition as the blooms can be grown to 11 inches and over in size and it is a re¬ 
markably good keeper when cut. Many of the flowers are distinctly marked with an 
Ox blood blotch or stripe on one or more of the petals, hence the name Joan of Arc. 
Roots, each $2.00, Plants, each $1.00 
WHITE KNIGHT—F. D. (1932). This is another fine white of large exhibition size, aver¬ 
aging 9-10 inches across and 5% inches in depth. Plant, medium tall, wide spreading 
and very prolific of large blooms, which are held upright, on cane like stems. A great 
prize winner. You will like this dahlia.

WHITE WONDER — I. D. (Black-Kemp). We introduced this wonderful white. Spring of 
1933, and it has steadily forged its way to the front throughout the country. Reports 
coming to us from growers in all parts of the country confirm our claims made for it 
in 1933 and since. We believed then, and still believe it to be the greatest informal 
decorative white ever introduced. At the big mid-west dahlia show held in Grand 
Rapids, Mich., the past season, a bloom of White Wonder received the award for the 
largest and most perfect bloom in the show. In a letter received from an advanced 
amateur in Delaware, written November 21st, he stated he had blooms of White Wonder 
16 inches in diameter the past season, and from Columbia, S. O. an exhibitor won over 
everything in the show with White Wonder, and we might go on with coverage of the 
entire country with similar reports of the action of this wonderful white. This great 
white dahlia is now available at a very moderate price, and should be included in your 
order for 1936, if you do not already have it. 
Roots, each $1.00, 3 for $1.75 
PINK AND LAVENDER SHADES 
DOROTHY STONE—I. D. (F&M, 1929). This exquisite rose pink dahlia has been a close 
rival for Kathleen Norris from the very beginning, and is still racing it for first honors. 
Many like it better than Kathleen Norris. The plant is a vigorous grower, and the 
large exhibition blooms are produced quite freely on long stiff stems, well above the 
foliage. 
Roots, each $1.50, Plants, each 75c 
GLORY OF MONMOUTH—F. D. (Kemp). This is one of our earlier introductions, and we 
still grow it because of its great beauty. The colors are eosine pink, shading to straw¬ 
berry pink at center of petals. Base of petals light orange. A new color combination 
of great beauty. Plant is of semi dwarf habit, wide spreading, and very sturdy. Its 
beautiful flowers are produced in profusion, and are from 6-8 inches in diameter by 
four to five inches in depth. Stems long and very stiff. 
Roots, only 50 cents each, 3 for $1.25 
KEMP’S VIOLET WONDER—I. D. Although this beautiful dahlia is numbered among the 
older introductions no other Violet colored dahlia has come forward to displace it. It is 
still the best Violet in commerce. A great garden and exhibition dahlia.
