MEMORIAL~—I. D. (Kemp). We believe this is the most beautiful 
yellow colored dahlia ever introduced. It has a richness of color 
not duplicated by any other dahlia we have ever seen. It 
stands out clear and above any other yellow variety, no other 
dahlia like it in commerce. It can be grown up to 11 inches in 
diameter, has medium length stiff stems, and is produced in 
abundance throughout the season. Plant 414 to 5 feet in height, 
wide spreading and vigorous grower. 
Dedicated to the memory of the members of the old guard in 
the A. D. S. who have passed on to their reward.

KEMP’S MONARCH~—F. D. This is another great formal decora- 
tive but of different color and somewhat different formation. A 
very distinctive dahlia of great size and beauty. The huge blooms 
are rather on the side of the Ball type, most of the petals being 
involute and bloom almost ball shape. Under ordinary culture we 
have had many blooms of it up to 12 inches in width by 7 inches 
in depth. 
The color is a deep salmon, changing to orange chrome tint 
and lighter salmon when the flower is full blown. Reverse light 
peach-red. Plant averages about 4 feet in height, is reasonably 
well branched and quite prolific of huge blooms, from early to 
late season. On Johnson’s Honor Roll 1937.

sult of crossing Oringo with Lady Moyra Ponsonby, and is one of

huge blooms from early till cut down by frost. Foliage, thick, 
tough and very resistent to sucking insect injury.
