ROYAL ROBE 
ROYAL ROBE L D. (Sigismondi-Parrella) 
—Color, rich royal purple. The re¬ 
verse shows a definite silver shading 
that in no sense is a faded color, but 
gives the purple a clear brightness. 
The huge blossoms are borne on long 
and cane-like stems which never 
droop. This is a seedling of Jane 
Cowl, and like the original parent, it 
is a tall growing bush with a fine 
foliage, insect-resisting. This par¬ 
ticular variety never shows a center. 
Height, 5 feet. 
Roots $2.00 Plants $1.00 
ROBERT EMMETT 1. D. (Maroney-Dahliadel)—This grand dahlia is a cardinal 
red, with a velvet texture; the flowers are of good size and are held facing 
sideways on best of long stems. Height, 4 feet. Roots $1.50 
ROYAL PURCHASE 1. C. (Nunneviller)—Color, a deep straw yellow; outer 
petals suffused pink. The petals are long and slender, twist and turn, giv¬ 
ing the huge flowers a most pleasing effect. The blooms average 10 inches 
and over and are held facing sideways on very long, straight, stiff stems, 
a great exhibition dahlia. Height, 5 feet. Roots $3.50 Plants $1.75 
ROYAL SALUTE—Here is one of the best new Inf. Decoratives we have 
grown. Was also a seedling grown by an amateur. The plant is strong 
and sturdy, tall growing. The blooms are huge, rich red in color, with 
tiny white petaloids all through the blooms, deep down. Every bloom is 
perfect on perfect stems. Roots $2.50 
ROCK LEIGH MOON, F. D. (Taylor)—Light lemon yellow of medium size on 
bushes that are very vigoious. The stems are stiff and the blooms keep well.

RUBY TAYLOR, 1. D. (Garrity)—Been large flowers of velvety carmine are a 
general favorite with all. The bushes are strong growers about five feet. 
Stems always good. Roots $1.00 
RUDY VALLEE (S. C.)—A very pleasing flower to look upon and one that 
attracts instant attention in the garden. When the flower first opens it is 
chrome yellow at the center, graduating to grenadine red as it opens. 
Roots 50c 
SALEM PRIDE (F. D.)—Color, reddish violet, suffused, streaked and lightly 
tipped white. Try and picture a dahlia with this coloring. Blooms up to 
10 inches Roots 35c 
SALLY B 1. D. (Almy)—A most beautiful pink and a seedling of Kathleen 
Norris. The bush is taller than its parent and the blooms are better 
keepers. Rather flat in formation but deen enough to make a fine large 
flower; 10 to 12 inches is not uncommon. Height, 414 feet. Roots $1.00
