LOMBARD’S DAHLIA GARDENS 
Marmion, F. D. —Color is pure golden yellow with 
bronze suffusions on the reverse of petals, and the 
deeper bronzy tone on the high, full center and out¬ 
line of same shade around each petal enhances the 
beauty of the flower and gives it an unusual ap¬ 
pearance .30 
New Glory, S. C.—This new creation won several 
prizes on the Pacific Coast. It is large, standing 
on a long, stiff stem, vigorous bushes, very free 
bloomer. A light ox-blood red with tips of petals 
blazed with white. The petals have a charming 
quilled effect near points .38 
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 
perfect form, on long, erect stems standing high 
above the foliage on a tall plant.32 
Oriental Glory, I. D. —One of Indiana’s finest intro¬ 
ductions. A brilliant deep orange of irresistible 
beauty. Fine plants and insect resisting. Win¬ 
ner at World’s Fair and won Achievement Medal 
at Indiana Show. On Honor Roll. Did fine for us .75 
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 .45 
Penn Charter, F. D. —Winner of the Silver Medal at 
Pennsylvania Horticultural Society Show as Best 
Established Seedling. Strong grower with heavy 
foliage. Deep clean flowers of great beauty. Col¬ 
or, rich gold blended with apricot. A deep mas¬ 
sive flower on long stems .35 
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 .50 
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 
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 .45 
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. 
One of the largest of all Dahlias, measuring from 
nine to twelve inches across, grown without forc¬
