To Our Flower Loving Friends and Patrons 
GREETING: 
For over 60 years we have been identified with the horticultural 
industry in various branches including breeding work, which began 
about 40 years ago. The past 20 years have been devoted mostly 
to the breeding and growing better dahlies, for better gardens. Many 
of our originations have found their way into the gardens of patrons 
in every quarter of the globe. 
We are justly proud of the success of our breeding work which 
is still in progress. 
The beginning of a New Year, to us is the beginning all over 
again of the opportunity to serve, to give good value tor money 
received, as well as the best service we can possibly render. We 
are specialists in our line; we know how to grow high quality stock, 
and how to serve our customers satisfactorily. 
We wish particularly to stress the high quality of our dahlias, 
both roots and potted green plants. Our green plants are propo- 
gated from the choicest field grown stock, selected while the plauts 
are still in full growth and bloom, and marked out for propogation, 
as we know good stock must be used to produce good healthy plants. 
We feel you cannot get better stock anywhere, regardless of price. 
The new and older varieties of dahlias offered in this catalog are 
of high order, and superior quality stock. Many of the older varieties 
have been and still are great prize winners, and the prices are now 
so reasonable any one can afford them. It costs no more to plant 
and cultivate a good variety than it does a poor one. 
If you have never given us any of your business, won't you please 
let us have the pleasure of serving you this year? We will do our 
utmost to serve you well. 
Kindly look this little book of great flowers over carefully; go 
over it page by page. If you will do this, you are almost certain 
to find something listed therein that you will wish to have in your 
1941 garden. 
Thanking you, and with best wishes for a greater and better 
garden year, we remain, 
Yours for better flowers, 
KEMP’S GARDENS, Breeders and Growers, 
January, 1941 Box 181, Little Silver, New Jersey.
