Dahlias of Quality 
MEMORIAL—I. D. (Kemp). We believe this is the most beau¬ 
tiful yellow colored dahlia ever introduced. It has a richness 
of color not duplicated by any other dahlia we have ever seen. 
It stands out clear and above any other yellow variety, no 
other dahlia like it in commerce. It can be grown up to 11 
inches in diameter, has medium length stiff stems, and is 
produced in abundance throughout the season. Plant 4 Vs to 
5 feet in height, wide spreading and vigorous grower. 
Dedicated to the memory of the members of the old guard 
in the A. D. S. who have passed on to their reward. 
Roots each, $2.50; Plants each, $1.25; 3 for $2.50 
NANCY GENE—I. D. (Australian). A brilliant yellow dahlia 
of outstanding merit. The color is a deep sulphur yellow, 
without any shadings, a true self. While this dahlia is huge 
in size it is not coarse, and might very appropriately be 
called a yellow Kathleen Norris, on a perfect stem strong as 
iron. Fine exhibition variety. Plant attains to a height of 
5 feet and over, is wide spreading and a moderately good 
producer of huge exhibition blooms. 
Roots each, $2.00; Plants each, $1.00; 3 for $2.00

GREAT EASTERN—I. D. (No. E. K.) This big fellow is the 
result of crossing Oringo with Lady Moyra Ponsonby, and 
is one of the largest and most spectacular we have ever 
introduced. It can be easily grown to 14 inches in diameter, 
with a depth of six inches and over. The color is a blend of 
orange 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 4-5 feet, has many long side 
branches, and is very prolific of huge blooms from early till 
cut down by frost. Foliage, thick, tough and very resist- 
ent to sucking insect injury. 
Divisions each, $1.00; 3 for $2.00 
FRECKLES—I. D. (No. P-K). Seedling of LaFiesta crossed 
with Lord of Autumn, inheriting the good qualities of both 
parents. The color is a Lemon Chrome, striped, blotched 
and speckled bright scarlet irregularly distributed over the 
yellow ground color. Blooms of this spectacular dahlia were 
grown up to 14 inches in diameter, and great depth, the past 
season. Plant averages about 5 feet in height, is many 
branched and wide spreading, and is tremendously prolific of 
large bloom from early to late season. The 8-10 inch stiff 
wiry stems hold the flowers facing, and well out of the fol¬ 
iage, which is luxuriant and very resistant to sucking in¬ 
sect injury. 
Divisions each, $1.50; Plants each, $1.00; 3 for $2.00 
ROYAL PENNANT—F. D. (No. 109-K). This is the richest col¬ 
ored dahlia we have ever seen. It might be described as a 
rich purplish violet, nearest to a Royal Purple of any dah¬ 
lia we know. Plant is a very strong grower, reaching a 
height of 7-8 feet, is well branched and extra good foliage. 
Blooms average 8-9 inches in width with corresponding depth, 
and are held 8-9 inches out of the foliage on stiff stems. If 
you like the unusual in dahlias, here is one that will please 
you immensely.

MRS. WM. S. KNUDSEN—I. D. (Dixie). This large white is 
in our opinion one of the best white dahlias introduced in 
recent years. It is not only a strong vigorous grower, but 
a bountiful producer of large exhibition blooms of first 
quality. 
Weather conditions that spotted every other white dahlia 
in our gardens last season, never injured the blooms of this 
dahlia, they coming through spotless and in fine condition 
in all other respects. The blooms have been grown up to 
12 inches in diameter, and 7 inches in depth. Stems are 
long and stiff, holding the flowers high out of the foliage. 
Height of plant 6-7 feet. Has many prizes to its credit. 
Roots each, $3.00; Plants each, $1.50; 3 for $3.00
