Dahlias of Quality 
Kemp’s Gardens 
MRS. IDA CHASE—Str. C. (No. H. H. K.). Named for the 
late Mrs. Ida Chase of Michigan, who was one of the out¬ 
standing dahlia lovers of her state. We believe this to be 
one of the most beautiful colored dahlias introduced in many 
years. The colors are a combination of bright Lemon Yel¬ 
low and Spinal Pink, pale lavender pink reverse. Under 
ordinary garden cultural conditions the blooms average about 
7 inches, but can be easily grown to 9 inches in width 
under high culture. Heighth of plant 4 l /> to 5 feet, which 
is many branched and wide spreading. Stems are perfect, 
and hold the blooms out of the foliage 8-10 inches. Mid- 
season. 
Roots each, $1.00; 3 for $2.00 
RED LEGION—I. C. (Kemp No. 44-35). Color, rich crimson 
maroon flower of true incurved type. Maximum size about 
8 inches. Plant grows to a height of 4 to 5 feet, is well 
branched and enormously prolific of large bloom. We have 
not tried forcing this dahlia for large blooms, but feel quite 
sure it can be pushed up to much larger size than it has 
grown for us under ordinary garden culture. A good in¬ 
curved cactus with a bright future. Awarded first prize in 
the Incurved Cactus Class, at Red Bank, 1937. 
Divisions each, $1.50; Plants each, $1.00
