Parrella’s Dahlias have proven to be best by test. 
KATIE K. I. D. (Lakeside Gardens)—A clear pink, of large size on long 
stems. I think it is the greatest exhibition pink since Kathleen Norris. 
A certificate winner and it will win for you if you grow it in 1938. 
Roots $3.00 Plants $1.25 
KATHLEEN NORRIS (I. D.)—Color, a true rose pink, deepening to a mellow 
pink, but paler in the young central petals. A flower of gigantic propor¬ 
tions. The petals are long, broad, with twisting ends that enhance its beauty. 
The blooms are held facing on cane-like stems. Height, 4 feet. Rools SOc 
KAWEAH I. D. (Meussdorfer)—Color, a deep, clear rose cerise, center of 
petals shading to a rich cardinal, and when fully matured, shades lighter 
towards the petals to a mauve or orchid color. The blooms are giants and 
are held facing sideways. Height, 5 feet. Roots 50c 
KENTUCKY SUN (White) F. D.—Probably the greatest yellow formal deco¬ 
rative to date. Winner of American Home Achievement Medal, Louisville, 
Ky., and on three Honor Rolls. We predict a great future for this fine, 
rugged variety, and describe it as a naturally large flower with great sub¬ 
stance, of a bright golden yellow. Flowers carried well up out of the foliage, 
on the best of stems. A clean and vigorous grower. Roots $1.50 
KIMIKAGE (1. Endow - Parrella) 
—In introducing this lovely 
dahlia, we are positive of offer¬ 
ing something real different. 
Kimikage isn’t a large dahlia, 
but one of the most beautiful in 
color and very different in for¬ 
mation. The petals of this 
dahlia twist in such a fine man¬ 
ner that frankly it is hard to 
describe. You must see this 
dahlia in bloom to appreciate 
its real beauty. Color, lemon 
yellow. Light green foliage, in¬ 
sect resisting. Note: Kimikage 
is on Mr. Johnston’s Honor Roll 
in HOUSE BEAUTIFUL, and 
Mr. Dudley in THE FLOWER 
GROWER. Height of plant, 4V2 
ft. Root $3.50 
Plant $1.50 
KIMIKAGE 
LELAND STANFORD (Ballay) 1. D.—Bloom 12x5. Brilliant cardinal red, the 
Staniom University color. The originator claims this is the brightest big 
red so far. It does not fade in the hot sun. It is an early and free bloomer. 
Good stems. 
^t)UISE BATES S. C. (Cordes-Eastman)—A very spectacular dahlia of immense 
size. Blooms averaging well over 12 inches across. The color is a beautiful 
mellow pink, with a phlox purple center. A most prolific bloomer as well as 
an artistic and grand exhibition dahlia. Height, 5 feet. Roots $1.00
