Golden Rule Dahlia Farm , Lebanon , Ohio 
BUCKEYE BABY 
Miniature Formal Decorative 
W hen miniature Dahlias first became widely grown we were amazed at the large 
size of some of them. The word miniature seemed to demand something small 
and we still believe that a miniature should be less than three inches. Buckeye Baby is 
a very small flower, IV 2 to 2 1 /4 inches. Color, gold buff lightly shaded red on reverse. 
Dwarf in height. Won 1st prize in miniature class at Cincinnati. See illustration front 
cover. 
This was one of the very earliest Dahlias to bloom on our farm. The plants are all 
free and rapid blooming and vigorous and all the stems are long and straight. The 
best miniature by far that we have ever grown or seen. It is like Little Jewell “a real 
miniature” in size of flower, but will bloom and grows well under all sorts of 
conditions .Plants $ 2.00 each
