KEMP’S CRYSTAL WHITE 
1941 Introductions 
MRS. EDITH WILKIE—S. C. (Tooker). This sensational variety is 
described by the originator as a pure white semi-cactus of great 
size in width and depth, and claim it will grow to the enormous 
size of 15 inches across. Flower has excellent form and very good 
growing habits. It is claimed to be without fault. We first saw 
this dahlia at the World’s Fair A.D.S. Show. 1940, but did not 
think much of it as it appeared to have very poor keeping quali- 
ties, but at the A.D.S. Show held at the Museum of Natural His- 
tory, New York, 1941, it was magnificent. The blooms were 
enormous in size and beautifully finished and were held high 
out of the luxuriant foliage on long stiff stems and appeared to 
have excellent keeping qualities. 
Roots each $10.00 net, Plants $3.50, 2 for $6.00, 
4 for $10.00 net

als. The long rigid stems with giant blocms at a good angle 10

DR. FRANK E. BENNETT~—I. D. (Kemp). This unusual dahlia 
was one of the outstanding varieties in our gardens the past sea- 
son, and attracted much attention from visitors. 
The beautiful color combination of Stronian Yellow, Old Gold 
and Orange, with reverse of buffy citrine and the twisting and 
curling of the long narrow petals expose all the colors to view at 
one and the same time, but the general effect is a bright golden
