KING LEOPOLD. I.D. Bloom 8x4. Color, sal- 
mon flushed with rose pink, a little darker 
than Buckeye Bride. Exceptionally free and 
early with blooms covering the bush until 
frost. Highly recommended as a salmon pink 
garden flower. Bush 4 feet. (86) 
Root, $1.50; Plant, $0.50 
LORD OF AUTUMN. 10x5 inches. 5 feet. A 
clear lemon yellow. For us one of the best 
large yellows and everywhere the most beau- 
tiful. I don’t believe there will ever be again 
in the midwest two such Lord of Autumn 
blooms as were displayed at the Cincinnati 
show by Mr. Durnil, of Louisville, and our- 
selves, in 1940. Both were twelve inches but 
the Louisville bloom beat ours by a hair. 
They were probably the nearest to perfection 
we shall see. (85) 
Root or Pot Clump, $0.75; Plant, $0.50 

MAD. ALBERT LOIX. I.D. Bloom 9x5. A fine 
large foreign variety of creamy white which 
does not burn. A strong grower with flowers 
held on strong stems. A fine white for those 
who find this color hard to raise. Bush 3 
feet. (85) Plant, $0.75 
MAESTRO. I.D. to S.C. Flower 10x6. Bush 
4 feet. A bright cerise. This new dahlia is a 
worthy addition to our list. The big, strong 
bushes produce well and blooms are very 
close to perfection in a big, red I.D. or S.C. 
Stems are excellent. (85) 
Root, $7.50; Plant, $2.50 
MARGRACE. Scarlet red with a tan reverse. 
Bloom 10x5. Bush 5 feet. Very fine large 
flowers on excellent stems and it blooms and 
grows well under a variety of soils and con- 
ditions. (85) Root, $0.50; Plant, $0.50 
MARY BAKER. A deep, butter yellow. Bloom 
9x4. Bush 3% feet. Here is a yellow that 
blooms very, very early and is exceedingly 
free throughout the season. It will grow and 
bloom well in any kind of a soil or situation 
if given half a chance. (88) Root, $0.35 
MARYLAND’S DELIGHT. A soft, true rose 
pink with exceedingly free blooming quali- 
ties and great vigor. Flower 8x4. Bush 3% 
feet. It is very early too and stems are ex- 
cellent. (87) Root, $0.75; Plant, $0.50 
MILTON J. CROSS. During the difficult mid- 
summer of 1940 Milton Cross was one of the 
best varieties on the farm. Golden yellow 
shaded rose, 9x5 bloom, bush 5% feet. The 
stems are perfect and are extra long and 
the plant vigor for us is perfect. 
Root, $0.50; Plant, $0.50 
MADAM ALBERT LEBRUN. Bloom 10x5, 
bush 514 feet. A new and different color of 
deep orange bronze with a violet or laven- 
der suffusion. We think this is one of the 
best dahlias of all time. Stems are perfect, 
very long and the flowers are produced 
early and continuously in great numbers. 
Those who saw our display at Louisville can 
appreciate this dahlia. (88) 
Root, $2.00; Plant, $0.75 
MAYOR FRANK OTIS. Bloom 11x5. Bush 5 
feet. Almost a clear, buff yellow. The plants 
have wonderful vigor and make plenty of 
fine roots. It is a late bloomer, but we have 
always had very wonderful huge flowers 
about October Ist. (82) 
Root or Pot Clump, $2.00; Plant, $0.75 
MRS. GEORGE LeBOUTILLIER. Brilliant 
carmine red. Bloom 10x5. Bush 4 feet. This 
dahlia is outstanding for its utter disregard 
of any severe condition of weather or insects. 
Each season finds it showing a mass of red 
bloom at our farm all season long. (85) 
Root, $0.35 
OPAL. A real pastel shade, large flowers and 
one of the most prolific. Silver and rose 
bloom 9x5. Bush 4% feet. Of very artistic 
form and of the highest vigor and root pro- 
ducing qualities it will be one of the dah- 
has that will be with us beautifying our 
gardens for many years. (85) Root, $0.50
