KEMP’S RED PILOT 
KEMP’S RED PILOT — I. D. (No. 24-37). This beautiful red 
dahlia made Rood wherever grown the past season and very 
flatterinR reports have come from many who say it is one 
of the outstandinR red dahlias of today. The plant is a 
stronR grower and prolific producer of very large blooms, of 
a most brilliant red color that does not burn or damage 
easily from excessive moisture. Its color appears to be 
about half way between carmine and nopal red. Its brilliant¬ 
ly Illuminated blooms have been grown up to 11 inches in 
diameter by five to six inches in depth, and are supported on 
long, slender stiff stems that hold them facing high out of 
the foliage. The 6 ft. high plant is very prolific of large 
blooms throughout the season. 
We ere pleased to quote the following testimonial re¬ 
ceived from a St. Louis grower under date of August 22nd, 
1939. 
“I believe in giving credit where credit is due and I feel 
that I ought to tell you that, in my opinion, your Red Pilot 
is undoubtedly the outstanding red, if not the outstanding 
Dahlia, among my 200 kinds and 1200 plants. Furthermore 
it recovers well after first blooming and gives every prom¬ 
ise of a healthy, satisfactory second crop.” 
Owing to the heavy demand for plants last spring we were 
short for our own planting and have only a small quantity 
of roots to offer this season. (1938 honor roll.) 
Roots each $7.50; Plants each $3.75; 3 for $7.50 
KEMP’S TWILIGHT—F. D. (No. 6-36). Here is another fine 
seedling of the well known “FRECKLES”, but is different 
in formation and color markings. Ground color is a rich 
Apricot, overlaid with light minute dots and lines of carmine. 
Flowers are 10 inches and over in diameter by 4-5 inches in 
depth, and are held facing, high out of the foliage on stiff 
stems, and are borne on strong healthy plants four to five 
feet high. Plants are well branched and very prolific of large, 
full centered bloom. An early and continuous bloomer 
throughout the season. 
Plants, only $2.50 each; 3 for $5.00 
GENEVA SURPRISE—(No. 404 Geer). An immense orange 
cadmium blending to apricot yellow, slightly suffused grena¬ 
dine red. We grew this grand dahlia in our trial grounds 
last season and it proved to be outstanding in every respect. 
The blooms are very large and can easily be grown up to 
12 x 6 inches. Stems are strong and straight, holding the 
giant blooms well out of the foliage. A prolific bloomer 
from early season ’till cut down by frost.
