Mrs. Ida Chase (C.) "Kemp” 1937—Bloom 8x3, bush 
5 ft. Named for the late Mrs. Ida Chase of Michigan, 
who was one of the outstanding dahlia lovers of her 
state. We believe this to be one of the most beautiful 
colored dahlias introduced in many years. The colors 
are a combination of bright lemon yellow and spinel 
pink, pale lavender pink reverse. Stems are perfect, 
and hold the blooms out of the foliage-Pxan: 1.00 
Mrs. George Le Boutelier (I.D.) "Smith Ruschmohr”— 
Bush 4 ft. A giant flower and, in our opinion, an 
improvement on Murphy’s Masterpiece, and a very strik¬ 
ing and showy plant in the garden. Color deep crimson 
red, the blooms are exceptionally large and are held 
erect on long, stiff, almost leafless stems, high and 
above the foliage. Watch for this dahlia at the shows 
this coming season. -Root

Murphy’s Masterpiece (I.D.) "Murphy” 1932 — This giant 
red dahlia could have been very appropriately named SEEK 
NO FURTHER, for when it comes to winning in the largest 
bloom class, it is the recognized leader. It is quite safe to say, 
it was the largest winner in this class of any dahlia exhibited 
in the 1933 eastern show. If you expect to carry off the blue 
ribbon in the largest bloom class you have simply got to have 
Murphy’s Masterpiece to do the trick. The flowers can be 
grown up to 14 inches and over in size, and it grows large with¬ 
out much encouragement. The color is dark red, shading to¬ 
ward garnet, and it will withstand much sun heat without 
fading or burning. _Plant

Oriental Glory (I.D.) "Swartz”—Blooms 10x5, Bush 5 ft. 
There are so many dahlias following the same color tone that 
it is an innovation when one appears with a shading that is 
just a little different than the other. Such a dahlia is Oriental 
Glory. The flowers are brilliant, dazzling balls of deep orange; 
and how we need this color on the exhibition table. Fine, ro¬ 
bust grower with excellent stems. On the Honor Roll _Root .35
