MURPHY’S MASTERPIECE—This giant red dahlia continues to 
hold the lead in the red section, and well grown blooms carry 
off the blue ribbon in almost every contest with other red 
varieties. It is so well known by dahlia fans throughout the 
country it seems a waste of time to attempt to add anything 
to its great popularity. 
Plants, only $1.00 each, 3 for $2.00 
SATAN—Semi-Cac. Here is another great dahlia that continues 
to hold its own against all comers in the Semi-Cactus classes. 
It has been a consistent winner everywhere and until a larg¬ 
er and better semi-cactus appears on the scene it will con¬ 
tinue to be the leader in that class. 
Plants only $1.00, 3 for $2.00 
SON OF SATAN—This seedling of Satan is becoming more and 
more popular each year as its real value as an exhibition 
variety becomes more generally known. The blooms are of 
semi-cactus type, are very large and the vivid scarlet color 
is without a peer. Plant is a strong healthy grower, and the 
large brilliant colored blooms are held high out of the foliage 
on stiff stems. 
Roots, each $1.50; Plants, each $1.00, 3 for $2.00 
PURPLE WONDER—I. D. This spectacular Pansy Purple dah¬ 
lia has many friends among dahlia fans. It is distinctive 
from all other purple varieties. Blooms range up to 11 
inches in diameter, and 6 inches and over in depth, and are 
held high out of the foliage on cane like stems. Plant at¬ 
tains to a height of 6 feet. Good bloomer, and good root 
maker. 
Roots, each $1.25; Plants, each 75 Cents, 3 for $1.50 
MR3. GEO LEBOUTILLIER—I. D. A huge dark red dahlia and 
a close contender for first place in the red class. The blooms 
are quite as large as Murphy’s Masterpiece, and of a brighter 
red color. Stems are long and hold the flower high out of 
the foliage. Plant a strong grower and prolific bloomer. 
Roots, each $2.00; Plants, each $1.00, 3 for $2.00 
Kemp's 1935 Introductions 
DADDY KEMP—I. D. This is every inch a man’s dahlia, and 
one of the most spectacular varieties introduced in recent 
years. Color, rich purplish red, and may be grown up to 14 
inches in, diameter, and 6 to 7 inches in depth. Under cer¬ 
tain soil and cultural conditions the stems may be some¬ 
what weak, like Satan and some other great dahlias, while un¬ 
der favorable soil and cultural conditions the stems are en¬ 
tirely satisfactory. Plant is a rampant grower, and tre¬ 
mendously prolific of giant blooms from early to frost. 
Roots, each $2.00; Plants, each $1.00, 3 for $2-00 
BLACK KNIGHT—I. D. Blackest of black dahlias. Color, dark 
velvety maroon, almost black. Flowers can be grown up to 
14 inches in diameter, and are held well out of the foliage 
on cane like stems. Plant a most rampant grower, attain¬ 
ing a height of 6-7 feet. Late bloomer, and should be 
planted early, and not pinched back, as pinching out the top 
retards blooming. 
Divisions, each $2.00; Plants, each $1.00, 3 for $2.00 
KITTY MAC—I. D. Here is another sensational dahlia of great 
merit. The color is Petunia Purple, flowers are 10-12 inches 
in diameter by 6-7 inches in depth, and are borne on long 
stems facing upward. Plant very rugged, with exceptionally 
insect resisting foliage. Height 6-7 feet. Stock very lim¬ 
ited. 
Roots, each $2.00; Plants, each $1.00, 3 for $2.00 
Variegated Dahlias 
TRIUMPH D’ANVERS—I. D. (Nagles). This is not only a 
beautiful bi-color dahlia, but is equally beautiful in its for¬ 
mation', the petals curling and twisting in an enchanting color 
combination of crimson and white. Flowers are of medium 
size, and are produced in profusion from early to late sea¬ 
son, are held well out of the foliage on stout stems. Plant 
about 5 feet high, and many branched. 
Divisions, each $1.50; Plants, each $1.00, 3 for $2.00
