Immense Dahlia Blooms 
There are now many Dahlia varieties that are capable of producing twelve-inch flowers 
or better. Golden Rule Dahlia Farm, however, is so exposed that we rarely have flowers ex¬ 
ceeding ten inches in diameter. After introducing Arcturus, Buckeye King and Honor Bright 
in 1934, we were indeed surprised to receive many reports from all three varieties of blooms 
twelve inches and more. Indeed, one sixteen-inch flower was reported from Arcturus and a 
seventeen inch flower was reported from Buckeye King. 
Size has always been and still is a secondary consideration with us. Beauty and quality 
constitute our goal regardless of size. 
Our soil and situation do not favor maximum size development of Dahlia blooms. We are 
too exposed to winds. Moreover, we are content to let the Dahlia growing public discover the 
great size that our originations may possess. 
New SCARLET PINK Dahlia 
We will introduce to the cut-flower market next summer a new Dahlia which we believe 
may mark the beginning of a new era in the history of the Dahlia as a cut-flower. From early 
in the season till late we had blooms of this Dahlia in our house. No other variety compared 
with it in beauty. 
The shortest time of keeping after being cut fresh from the field was four days. Hot weather 
did not shorten its keeping. We gave some blooms to a florist friend of ours who kept them in 
good condition in his sunny show window for four days. 
This Dahlia will produce as many flowers, and as rapidly, as Buckeye Bride. It starts 
blooming very early. Its stems and habit of growth are similar to Honor Bright. The type 
is formal Decorative, almost ball shaped, with the high full centre so desired by florists. Our 
chart does not define its color. It is a decidedly pink light scarlet. We call it scarlet pink. 
Blooms may be shipped by rail if properly packed, arriving in good condition any reason¬ 
able distance within one thousand miles. No roots or plants, only flowers, will be available 
for sale. 
This variety won first as Formal Decorative Seedling at Cincinnati and as a part of our 
exhibit at New York won favorable comment.
