LOMBARD’S DAHLIA GARDENS 
fi 
New Glory, S. C.—A light ox-blood red with tips of 
petals blazed with white. The petals have a 
charming quilled effect near points .40 
Nellie Austin, I. D.—Peach red shot with buff yellow, 
giving the flower a bronze effect. Blooms heavy 
with a small, curled, buff yellow petal, appearing 
at the base of each large petal. Flowers large, of 
perfect form, on long, erect stems standing high 
above the foliage on a tall plant .25 
Oakleigh Monarch, F. D.—It is bright cerise red 
color, quite unlike any other introduction of recent 
years, and the keeping qualities, for such a large 
Dahlia, are remarkable. By actual test, blooms of 
Oakleigh Monarch have kept for seven to ten days 
in perfect condition after it is cut. Oakleigh Mon¬ 
arch scored 86.9 at East Lansing, and we recom¬ 
mend this Dahlia very highly for its fine perform¬ 
ing qualities .$1.00 
Olympic Sunset, S. C.—Color is apricot orange and 
coral with a blending of pale lemon yellow and 
having a distinct zone of the yellow at the base 
of the petals, reverse of petals rose. A very per¬ 
fect Semi-cactus. Stems strong and erect .50 
Oriental Glory, I. D.—One of Indiana’s finest intro¬ 
ductions. A brilliant deep orange of irresistible 
beauty. Fine plants and insect-resisting. Win¬ 
ner at World’s Fair and won Achievement Medal 
at Indiana Show. On Honor Roll. Did fine for us .35 
Omar Khayyam, F. D.—This much admired Dahlia 
was certified with one of the highest scores at 
Storr’s Trial Grounds. The unusual coloring is a 
Chinese red at the base of the petals, shading to 
blight orange and tipped lighter, making a won¬ 
derful soft color effect .30 
Palo Alto, S. C.—Clear bright salmon shading to 
gold at center. Blooms are very large and very 
deep and of good substance. Stems and bush 
growth fine .50 
Prince of Persia, I. D.—Without exception the very 
finest red Dahlia we have ever had. The immense 
flowers, frequently a foot in diameter, are of the 
deepest, most irridescent, rich glowing crimson 
like the petals of a rose, rather than a Dahlia, of 
great depth and substance, and carried perfectly 
erect on exceptionally long, stiff stems .30 
Robert Emmett, I. D.—A grand new velvety cardinal 
red Dahlia, of giant size and beauty. Good open 
grower with dark green insect resisting foliage 
and held on long, stiff stems. One of the best reds .50 
Rainbow’s End, I. D.—The coloring of this Dahlia is 
all that the name indicates—the petals are scarlet 
with empire yellow tips and maize yellow reverse 
—a most unusual and beautiful combination. The 
flowering habits are good and the plant is strong, 
healthy and insect resisting .
