KEMP’S GREAT EASTERN (1937), I. D. 
This big fellow is one of the largest and most spectacular 
Dahlias. It can be easily grown to 14 inches in diameter, a 
depth of six inches and over. The color is a blending of 
orange-gold and reddish bronze, a beautiful color combination 
that reminds you of the various hues of the forests in late 
fall. Plant grows to a height of four to five feet, has many 
long side branches, and is a prolific bloomer from early season 
till cut down by frost. The huge blooms are wonderful keepers 
when cut. Foliage thick, tough and very resistant to sucking 
insect injury. Good root maker, good keeper in storage. 
Scored 85E at East Lansing, Mich., Trial Grounds.

KEMP’S GOLDEN GIANT (1938), 
F. D. 
The blooms are of a golden yellow color, with buff reverse, 
and without forcing at all have 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. The plant is of semi-dwarf habit, wide 
spreading and very prolific of large exhibition blooms from 
early mid-season until cut down by frost. Foliage is thick 
and leathery-like, and is immune to injury by sucking in¬ 
sects. A perfect formal decorative and on Johnston’s Honor 
Roll. The color is glorious and we mean just that. If you 
are looking for the big ones that are without doubt the most 
outstanding Dahlias 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 unhesitatingly pronounced it 
one of the great Dahlias of modern times.

very erect above the foliage. An entirely new color that is

a Begonia Rose, reverse of petals a lighter shade. A very 
beautiful Dahlia and one of the very best keepers as a cut 
fl.ower we have ever grown. Very free blooming. 
Roots $1.25

has more substance than a great many yellow varieties and 
for that reason will be difficult to beat. The flowers are car¬ 
ried well up out of the foliage on nice stems. Winner of the 
Achievement Medal at the Kentucky Show.
