Dahlias of Quality Kemp's Gardens 

Outstanding 1939 Introductions 

KEMP’S RED PILOT 
KEMP’S RED PILOT~I. D. (No. 24-37). This beautiful red dah- 
lia made good wherever grown the past season and very flatter- 
ing reports have come from many who say it is one of the out- 
standing red dahlias of today. The plant is a strong grower and 
prolific producer of very large blooms, of a most brilliant red 
color that does not burn or damage easily from excessive mois- 
ture. Its color appears to be about half way between carmine 
and nopal red. Its brilliantly illuminated blooms have been grown 
up to 11 inches in diameter by five to six inches in depth, and 
are supported on long, slender stiff stems that hold them facing 
high out of the foliage. The 6 ft. high plant is very prolific 
of large blooms throughout the season. 
Roots each $2.00, Plants each $1.00, 3 for $2.00 
KEMP’S YELLOW SUPREME~I. D. (No. 11-36). Good reports 
on this fine yellow have been received from growers the past sea- 
son. It appears to have done well wherever grown. It is a good 
doer and its giant Pinard yellow blooms which often reach 12 
inches in width by 6 inches in depth, entitles it to a place in the 
ranks of the largest flower class. 
The plant is a sturdy grower, averaging about 4!4 feet in 
height, is many branched and wide spreading, and very prolific 
of giant bloom from early to late season. Stems long and stiff 
holding the giant flower high out of the foliage. (1938 Flower 
Grower Honor Roll.) 
Roots each $2.00, Plants each $1.00, 3 for $2.00 
1938 Introductions 
KEMP’S RUFFLED BEAUTY~—F. D. Probably the most unique for- 
mal decorative ever introduced. Its outstanding, distinctive feat- 
use is its ruffled and fluted petals producing an effect that might 
be likened unto a ruffled petunia. 
The color is capusine orange, shading to salmon orange at the 
tips of the petals, center shading to rose doree, peach pink and 
orange blend reverse. Flower 9 to 10 inches wide by 5 inches 
deep, stems long and stiff holding the flower high out of the 
foliage. Plant ave:ages about 5 feet in height, foliage dark bronzy 
green. 
Roots each $2.00, Plants each $1.00, 3 for $2.00 
NANCY GENE~I. D. (Australian). A brilliant yellow dahlia of 
outstanding merit. The color is a deep sulphur yellow without 
any shadings, a true self. While this dahlia is huge in size it 
is not coarse, and might very appropriately be called a yellow 
Kathleen Norris, on a perfect stem strong as iron. Fine exhibi- 
tion variety. Plant attains to a height of 5 feet and over, is wide 
spreading and a moderately good producer of huge exhibition 
blooms. 
Roots each $2.00, Plants each $1.00, 3 for $2.00
