Dahlias of Quality 
Kemp’s Gardens 
KEMP’S GOLDEN GIANT 
On Johnston’s Honor Roll 
KEMP’S GOLDEN GIANT—(Kemp). This is a fitting compan¬ 
ion to the Monarch of the East, and is the most perfect rep¬ 
resentative of the formal decorative type dahlia to date. The 
blooms are of a golden yellow color^ with buff reverse, and 
without forcing at all we have had blooms up to 12 inches 
in diameter, by 6 inches in depth. The substance of the 
petals is very thick and heavy, and the flower will keep for 
days after it is cut. It never drops its petals, but grad¬ 
ually dries up to a shrunken mass of dry petals. The plant 
is of semi-dwarf habit, wide spreading and very prolific of 
large exhibition blooms from early midseason until cut down 
by frost. Foliage is thick and leathery-like, and is immune 
to injury by sucking insects. The plant is almost sturdy 
enough to withstand the wind without staking. 
During the many years we have been breeding and growing dah¬ 
lias, we have not seen any that is as perfect a formal dec¬ 
orative as this variety. 
The color is glorious and when we say we are unable to do this 
great dahlia full justice in a written description, we mean 
just that. If you are looking for the big ones that are 
without doubt the most outstanding d-ahlias of the year, buy 
Monarch of the East and Kemp’s Golden Giant and you will 
not be disappointed. All who have seen it in bloom unhesi¬ 
tatingly pronounced it one of the great dahlias of modern 
times. Orders will be accepted in the rotation in which 
they are received, and only as long as the stock lasts. Plants 
will be available in reasonable quantity at 
$7.50 each, 3 for $20.00
