Dahlias of Quality Kemp's Gardens 

1941 Introductions—Continued 

SILVERTON 
SILVERTON—This dahlia is of an unusual color, in fact we know 
of no other just like it. In color it is silvery seashell pink, with 
light buff shading in the center of the bloom. The type might be 
classed as informal decorative, though it is so near the formal 
it is hard to differentiate between the two types. Blooms are 8 
to 9 inches in diameter, full centered, of good depth and are held 
well out of the foliage on rigid stems. Plant is healthy and 
rugged and very prolific of bloom. If you are looking for the 
unusual in color, this dahlia will surely give you great satisfaction 
in this respect, as well as in all other respects. 
Roots each $2.50, Plants each $1.00, 2 for $2.50 
PRIDE OF NORFOLK~—I. D. (Ambrose-Kemp, 1941). This sensa- 
tional dahlia merited the high score of 87E at the East Lansing 
trial grounds season of 1939, the highest scoring variety in the 
grounds that year. 
The color of this great dahlia is light shell pink, suffused with 
mallow pink. It is a giant in size, many blooms measurng 12 
inches and over in diameter by 6 inches and over in depth, and 
are held facing on stiff stems, 8 to 12 inches above the top foliage. 
An early bloomer, and flowering habit unusually good for so 
large a variety. Plant attains to a height of around 4 feet, is 
well furnished with long side branches, giving it a spread almost 
equal to its height. A super exhibition variety that ranks tops 
with the best of them, and is destined to become a great prize 
winner, and a prime favorite with exhibition fans everywhere. 
Roots each $5.00, Plants $2.00, 3 for $5.00
