Dahlia Fans 
Win in 1937 with 
Oakleigh Monarch 
We want to call your attention to this giant 
Dahlia “OAKLEIGH MONARCH”. A big, broad- 
petaled formal type that has created a sensation 
where ever grown, and truly the finest dahlia we 
ever have grown and exhibited. 
It is truly a beautiful color — a clear, brilliant 
cerise red — quite unlike any other introduction of 
recent years, and the keeping qualities, for such a 
large dahlia, are remarkable. By actual test, 
blooms of Oakleigh Monarch have kept for ten days 
in perfect condition. 
Flowering habit is very good. Stems, straight 
and strong. Substance, excellent. Keeping qualities, 
splendid, long lasting. Habit of plant, heavy, vigor¬ 
ous growth, thick densely branching. Health ex¬ 
cellent. Diameter of flower, 8-11 inches; depth, 4 1 / £- 
7 inches. Height of plant, 4 to 5 feet. 
In addition to an outstanding record at every 
show, this remarkable Dahlia has been grown and 
tested by every critical grower in various sections 
of the country who unanimously reported it a dis¬ 
tinct success in every respect. Because of its ideal 
stem, rugged plant growth and perfect form, size 
and color, we predict this new red to be the great¬ 
est red ever originated, bar none. We recommend 
OAKLEIGH MONARCH very highly and it will be 
a mighty popular variety for years to come.
