ROBERT RIPLEY—I. D. (Salem) 1937. Believe it or not, this 
is one of the greatest dahlias introduced in many years. Its 
distinctive color of Rhodamine purple with deep rose pink 
suffusion radiating throughout the entire bloom presents a 
never to be forgotten picture. The blooms are immense in 
size, and held well out of the foliage on strong, straight 
stems. The bush is very vigorous and grows to a height of 
6 feet or more. Awarded many first prizes at both national 
shows, Chicago and other exhibitions. A sensation wher¬ 
ever shown. 
Roots, each $7.50; Plants, each $3.75, 3 for $7.50
