DADDY KEMP (Kemp, 1935), F. D. 
This is every inch a man’s flower, and one of the most 
spectacular introduced in recent years. The flowers are 
of immense size, often 14 inches or over in diameter, 
and from five to seven inches deep. The color is a rich 
purplish red. Should be grown to four stems to make 
these strong enough to hold the flowers. (H. R.)

DR. JOSEPH SCHEINER (Dakoupilova), S. C. 
Here is a Dahlia that is a real as well as distinctive 
novelty, not only on account of its large size and great 
depth, but by its formation, which resembles huge 
chrysanthemums and attracts everyone to it. The color 
is a soft lilac and overcast with a soft rose glow, the 
huge blossoms are held erect, facing the heaven on top 
of good, strong, stiff stems, well above the medium 
growing plant.
