ROBERT RIPLEY—I. D. (Salem, 1937). Believe it or not, this 
is one of the most outstanding dahlias ever introduced. Its 
great size and attractive color entitles it to first place in the 
ranks of the really great dahlias. Its distinctive color of 
Rhodamine purple, with deep rose pink suffusion radiating 
throughout the entire flower presents a never-to-be-forgotten 
picture. The immensely large blooms are held well out of 
the luxuriant foliage on strong, stiff stems. Bush is vigor¬ 
ous, attaining to a height of 6 feet and over. Awarded many 
first prizes at both national and local shows. A sensation 
wherever shown. 
Roots each, $3.50; Plants each, $1.75; 3 for $3.50 
GREATER GLORY—(Salem). This is a fitting companion to 
the Robert-Ripley, and is in every way quite as desirable. 
It’s a tall vigorous grower with healthy, leather like foliage, 
and its 11 x 5 inch blooms are supported on long stiff stems 
well out of the foliage. 
Color is a deep rose pink, occasionally shading to sulphur 
yellow in the center. It is classified as a semi-cactus, but 
the petals roll at the end of the season, coming close to a 
true cactus. One of the most artistic dahlias we have ever 
seen. Height of plant 6-7 feet. 
Roots each, $3.00; Plants each„ $1.50; 3 for $3.00 
DADDY WALKER—T. D. We are glad to again offer this beau¬ 
tiful bi-colored sport of the variety “Daddy Kemp.” In this 
variety we offer one of the most beautiful as well as the 
most distinctive dahlias introduced in many years. The 
ground color of its highly attractive bloom is « deep pink, 
heavily dotted and striped mahogany red. Flowers are very 
large and spectacular, instantly attracting the attention of 
all who see it. The bush is a moderately strong grower, 
many branched and is quite prolific for such a large flowered 
variety. 
Roots each, $2.00; Plants each, $1.00; 3 for $2.00 
DIRECTOR CARL DAHL—I. D. (Scott). This giant variety 
was introduced in the spring of 1938, and has made good 
everywhere. The color is brilliant old rose, and while the 
blooms are the very largest it does not look coarse and un¬ 
sightly as many extra large ones do. Blooms average extra 
large the entire season, and it is no uncommon thing to see 
several blooms on a plant at a time that will measure up to 
12 inches and over in diameter. It can be grown much larg-
