Dahlias of Quality Kemp's Gardens 

SILVERTON (See Page 5) 
CLASS—F. D. (Salem). This great sulphur yellow dahlia has been 
grown to 1514 inches across, but under ordinary conditions it is 
an eleven inch bloom. We firmly believe it to be the largest and 
best formal to date. It is very compact, is not at all coarse, and 
the petals fall back toward the stem when the bloom is fully 
developed. The stems are straight and rigid and hold the 
blooms almost directly on top. Bushes are rugged, of medium 
height, and will produce five and six 10 and 11 inch blooms 
at the same time. 
It was the best formal at the A. D. S. Show 1940, best formal 
at the Central States Show at Chicago, was the most outstanding 
specimen bloom in the 1939 Poughkeepsie, N. Y., show when ex- 
hibited as a two year seedling. 
Plants each $7.50 
ALL-AMERICAN~S. C. (Salem). Here is another outstanding dah- 
lia you will like to grow. In color it is mulberry rose, suffused 
salmon with wax yellow at base of petals. The petals twist 
somewhat and point in all directions. Bushes are strong, sturdy 
growers, attaining to a height of six to seven feet, are very pro- 
lific of immense blooms which are held almost top of straight 
stems. This is a very hardy variety and blooms are nearly as 
large when grown without fertilizer as when forced. 
Was awarded the A. H. A. medal at the Wisconsin State Show 
at Milwaukee, was the most outstanding specimen bloom at both 
Peekskill and Poughkeepsie, was first Semi-Cactus at Central 
States Show, and blue ribbon winner in several other shows. 
Roots each $15.00, Plants each $7.50 
TROJAN~I. D. (Salem). This unique variety is rated by some as 
a super dahlia. It is immense in size, and the blooms are held 
well out of the foliage on long, stiff stems, and are produced in 
great profusion. In color the bloom is crimson red, overlaid wax 
yellow, with the yellow more pronounced on reverse of petals. 
The petals twist somewhat, further enhancing the beauty of this 
wonderful variety. Bush is of medium height and very hardy. 
Won the A. H. A. medal at East Liverpool, Ohio, by unanimous 
vote of the judges. It was grown very successfully in various 
parts of the country. 
Roots each $15.00, Plants each $7.50 
TIM MURPHY~F. D. (New Zealand Origin). If you want some- 
thing in the formal purple class that really grows big, here it is. 
In color it is French purple with a very deep garnet base re- 
flexed with veins of true purple. The blooms are held almost 
directly on top of stiff stems. The bush growth is of medium 
height, very rugged and appears to be insect resistant. 
Plants each $2.50
