LOMBARD’S DAHLIA GARDENS 
Thos. A. Edison, F. D.—This gorgeous Dahlia is still 
a popular winner at the shows. In the garden it is * 
impressive with its staghorn petal formation, the 
large, dark green, insect-resistant foliage, the 
cane-stiif stems, the thrifty growth, and greatest 
of all, its color. It may be described as a royal 
purple or petunia violet .40 
Uncle Tom, F. D.—If you want the nearest to black 
of any Dahlia that grows you should have this one. 
Here is what the author, Derrill W. Hart, says of 
this Dahlia: “An aptly named flower with an unus¬ 
ually rich and impressive color. It is deep garnet, 
almost black, as rich as the finest ‘velvet in 
texture.’ ” .38 
Valentino, F. D.—A Dahlia, attractive in formation 
which blooms prolifically on good stems and re¬ 
mains true to type throughout the season. The 
bush is an upright grower. Color, true salmon 
pink shading to cream at center .30 
William H. Hogan, F. D.—Color, garnet red with 
white tips running down the center of the petals; 
every petal comes true to color. A prize winner 
and Roll of Honor Dahlia, and one of the best 
fancy Dahlias on the market .30
