Oakleigh 
Monarch 
Grow this new triple Honor 
Roll — Certificate of Merit 
Dahlia. Oakleigh Monarch is 
all that the name implies — a 
big, broad-petaled formal type 
that has created a sensation 
wherever 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 seven to ten days in perfect 
condition. 
Oakleigh Monarch scored 86.9 at A. D. S. 
Trial Grounds, East Lansing, Mich., in 1935, 
and was one of the most outstanding new 
varieties on trial. We quote herewith part 
of official Trial Grounds report: "Flowering 
habit very good. Stems, straight and strong. 
Substance, excellent. Keeping qualities, 
splendid, long lasting. Habit of plant, 
heavy, vigorous growth, thick, densely 
branching. Health excellent. Diameter of 
flowers, 8-11 inches; depth, 4 J /4-7 inches. 
Height of plant, 4-5 feet. ONE OF THE 
BEST.'
