LOMBARD’S DAHLIA GARDENS 
7 
Saladini, F. D.—This is one of the truly outstanding 
Dahlias, its strong points being reliability of 
bloom, profusion and sturdiness of growth. A 
clear apricot orange .35 
Sanhican’s Queen, F. D.—A Dahlia of unusual color, 
described as honey-dew, which is a blending of 
apricot with a faint blushing of carmine rose, 
deepening towards the center. Stems are abso¬ 
lutely perfect, being strong, stiif and canelike.26 
Satan, S. C.—Flaming red with a slight touch of gold 
at the center. The exquisite coloring is at once 
fascinating, but what formation and stems! The 
hornlike petals, so perfectly rolled and incurved, 
give rare form and character to a tiov/er of unusual 
brilliancy. The rugged, almost leafless, stems give 
the impression of being nearly as thick at the top 
as at the base. No Dahlia in existence, we believe, 
is more sensational and spectacular than this giant 
Cactus. Wherever exhibited it becomes the gen¬ 
eral favorite .60 
Shahrazad, I. D.—A most regal Dahlia named for the 
Queen in the Arabian Nights. Color a deep pink. 
Flowers 10 to 12 inches in diameter with great 
depth and splendid substance. Fine, cane-like 
stems. Bush tail and vigorous. Easy one of the 
most outstanding of recent originations .38 
Siiibad of the Sea, F. D.—An extra large, fine flower, 
borne on long stems; very large and full, vivid red. 
Especially fine for cutting. One of the best of the 
red Decorative. A vigorous grower and a very 
free bloomer .40 
Sydney B. Mitchell, F. D.—A very large flower of 
rich, deep velvety red almost black in the center 
siiading through carmine to Tyrian rose at the end 
of the petals. Fine stems. Bushes covered wdth 
blooms .26 
Sanhicaii’s Magnate, F. D.—One of the big fellows 
of the Dahlia kingdom. Pale amaranth pink, base 
of petals tinged with deeper shade; reverse of 
petals a solid claret color heavily veined. Free 
bloomer .28 
The Commodore, I. D.—A very large and spectacular, 
golden yellow Dahlia overlaid wdth a golden sheen. 
Many blooms attain 14 inches across. The giant 
blooms are of good depth and are held high above 
the foliage by long stiff stems on a wide-spreading, 
medium height plant of sturdy growth . . .35 
The World, F. D.—The coloring is an unusually rich, 
deep rosy magenta overlaid garnet with silver 
shadings on edges of petals. A rich and beautiful 
combination of colors .48 
Thos. A. Edison, F. D.—^This gorgeous Dahlia, select¬ 
ed and named by permission of the famous electri¬ 
cal wizard, has had its good share of winnings the 
past season in the West as well as in the East. In 
the garden it is impressive with its staghorn petal 
formation. It may be described as a royal purple .50
