LOMBARD’S DAHLIA GARDENS

of the Dahlia kingdom. Pale amaranth pink, base 
of petals tinged with deeper shade; reverse of 
petals a solid claret color heavily veined. Free 
bloomer .25 
The Commodore, I. D.—A very large and spectacular 
golden yellow Dahlia overlaid with a golden sheen. 
Many blooms attain 14 inches across. The giant 
blooms are of good depth and are held high above 
the foliage by long stiff stems on a wide-spreading, 
medium height plant of sturdy growth .20

deep rosy magenta overlaid garnet with silver 
shadings on edges of petals. A rich and beautiful 
combination of colors .25 
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- 
stiff stems, the thrifty growth, and greatest of all, 
its color. It may be described as a royal purple or 
petunia violet .30 
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 .35
