KEMP’S RUFFLED BEAUTY, F. D. 
KEMP’S RUFFLED BEAUTY—F. D. (Kemp, No. 101-34). This 
is probably the most unique formal decorative dahlia ever 
offered. Its outstanding', distinctive feature is its ruffled 
and fluted petals, producing an effect that might be likened 
unto the double ruffled Petunia. The color is capusine 
orange^ shading to salmon orange at ends of petals. Center 
of flower, rose doree. Peach, pink and orange blend reverse. 
Flower, 9 to 10 inches in diameter, with a depth of about 
5 inches. Plant attains to a maximum height of 5 feet, is 
well branched and moderately productive of large exhibition 
blooms. Stems, long and stiff, holding the flower high out 
of the foliage, foliage dark bronzy green, and so heavy and 
tough of texture, not even the most destructive chewing in¬ 
sects ever go near it. You will be delighted to have this 
new type of formal decorative dahlia in your garden. It 
is not only different, but most decorative. On Johnston’s 
Honor Roll.

ELLEN FARR—I. D. (Kemp, No. 3-35). This exquisite colored 
dahlia was named in honor of a most estimable lady re¬ 
siding in Columbia, S. C., who is a great lover of the dah¬ 
lia and other beautiful flowers. Its delicate peaches and 
cream color combination imparts to the flower a refined and 
enchanting beauty that is most pleasing to look at. Size of 
flower 10 inches and over in diameter, by 5 inches or more 
in depth, is full centered and is held high out of the foliage 
on strong wiry stems. Plant is a very strong grower, attaining 
to a height of 5 to 6 feet, is well branched and quite prolific 
of large perfect blooms. Some blooms when full blown turn 
their long petals up and over the center giving the flower the 
appearance of a huge Paeony bloom. This delicate, beautiful 
flower has a strong appeal to all who appreciate the esthetic 
sentimentality of a beautiful flower. Stock quite limited.

maroon flower of true incurved type. Maximum size about 
8 inches. Plant grows to a height of 4 to 5 feet, is well

grown for us under ordinary garden culture. A good in¬
