Renaute Muller (I.C.) "Foreign”—Bloom 5x3, bush 5 
feet. A very fine exhibition or commercial cactus 
having good sized flowers of light salmon rose with 
pale yellow centers. The rather tall bushes are covered 
with flowers at all times. Highly recommended-Root .50 
Robt. L. Ripley (I.D.) "Salem” 1937 — Rhodamine 
purple with deep rose pink suffusions thoughout the 
entire bloom. It is immense in size. Ed. J. O’Keeffe of 
Cold Spring, N. Y., one of the leading amateur growers 
of the United States, grew a bloom that measured 
16x12. Stems are straight and strong. The bush is 
vigorous and grows to a height of seven feet. It won 
many first prizes at both National Shows, Chicago and 
other exhibitions. Created a sensation wherever shown. 
It has wonderful substance and keeping qualities and 
will develop a full flower from a cut bud not even 
showing color. King Features Syndicate in "Believe 
It or Not” Cartoon by Ripley, portrays Robt. L. 
Ripley as "the largest dahlia grown.”-— Plant 1.00 
Royal Purchase (C.) "Nunneviller” 1936. Here is an in¬ 
curved cactus that attains immense size. The bloom is 
full and deep and grows high out of the bush on long, 
straight stems. The color is a deep straw yellow with 
outer petals suffused with pink. The petals twist and 
turn, giving the bloom a shaggy appearance. The bush 
is four to five feet high, an early bloomer, is clean 
growing and resists insects. Prominent judges who 
saw this variety growing the past season say it is a 
knockout and a rival to our America’s Sweetheart.

Rudolph’s Giant (I.D.) "Rudolph” 1936—Bloom 12x7, 
bush 4 ft. A giant in fact. Winner of largest bloom 
at New York show in 1936. The large blooms have 
great depth and the stems are all that could be de¬ 
sired. The color is a live buff with apricot and pink 
suffusions_Root 3.00; Plant 1.00 
Satan, S. C. "Ballay-Success”—Bloom 10x5, bush 6 ft. 
One of the largest dahlias grown, and a consistent 
prize winner at the shows. Color, a bright flaming 
red with slight touch of gold at center. Horn-like 
petals which are perfectly rolled and incurved give 
unique form to the giant blooms. Honor Roll. Scored 
87 at Storrs. _Root .50 
Scarlet Jersey Beauty (F.D.) "Wolfe” 1938—Bloom 7x4, 
bush 5 V 2 to 7 feet. A beautiful scarlet color. The 
long, straight, stiff stems hold the flower high above 
the extra clean foliage. Stems can be cut three feet in 
length. After growing it for several years, we can say 
that it never stunts and never shows an open center, 
no matter how late in the season. On three Honor 
Rolls._Root 1.50 
Sleepy Hollow (C.) "Morgan” 1937—Bloom 7x4, bush 
6 ft. A broad petaled cactus, which is different. The 
color is a vivid shell pink shading to white at the center. 
Especially beautiful under artificial light. We consider 
it the most distinctive variety of the year._Plant 2.00 
Sonny Boy (I.D.) "Salem”—Bloom 11x8, Bush 4 feet. 
Old rose and old gold informal decorative, a naturally 
large flower, has been grown 151/2 inches. It has been a 
persistent winner in the show rooms ever since its 
introduction in 1933. It is a very hardy grower_Root .50
