*KEMP’S GREAT EASTERN. I. D. (No. E. 
E. K.) This big fellow is the result of cross¬ 
ing Oringo with Lady Moyra Ponsonby, and 
is one of the largest and most spectacular 
dahlias we have ever offered our patrons. It 
can be easily grown to 14 inches in diameter, 
a depth of six inches and over. The color is a 
blending of orange-gold and reddish bronze, 
a beautiful color combination that reminds 
you of the various hues of the forests in late 
fall. Plant grows to a height of 4-5 feet, has 
many long side branches, and is a prolific 
bloomer from early season till cut down by 
frost. The hugh blooms are wonderful keep¬ 
ers when cut, and the past season was one of 
our best sellers as a cut flower. Foliage thick, 
tough and very resistant to sucking insect in¬ 
jury. Good root maker, good keeper in stor¬ 
age. Scored 85E at East Lansing, Mich., Trial 
Grounds this season. Div. (limited) $10; 
Plants, each $5.

magnificent flower of flesh with petals tipped 
and outlined with gold. Petals long and 
pointed and held facing on cane like stems 3 
ft. or more, in length. Certificate at Storrs 
1936, score 85E. When I visited Storrs in 
late October it still had 12 in. blooms on per¬ 
fect stems. Plants 6 ft. and foliage perfect.
