BUCKEYE GLORY 
Informal Decorative 
A large, bright, shining dahlia 
blooming in the garden attracts 
us all. The color of this big 
flower is a magnet that draws 
all eyes. 
We quote from report of 
Dahlia Society of Georgia. 
“Buckeye Glory, a new variety 
for 1937 which answers the de¬ 
sires of dahlia lovers for a 
glorified, large Mrs. Warner 
which does not shatter. Informal 
decorative, of attractive form. 
Color, clear lavender to deep 
lavender; Chinese violet by 
Ridgeway’s chart; with the sun 
behind it the color is rose-laven¬ 
der, but on a cloudy day is blue- 
lavender. Blooms profuse, large, 
averaging 8", tight full centers 
late in season. Stems, strong, 
hold blooms facing and 4"—5" 
above foliage. Plants, tall, vig¬ 
orous. Foliage, abundant with artistic resistant leathery leaves. One of the outstand¬ 
ing varieties of the test jolot. Very popular among visitors.” 
At our farm the flowers vary in size from eight to eleven inches with^ a depth 
of four or five inches. The bushes are extremely vigorous with a fine habit of growth. 
All are uniform and they start blooming early and continue to produce steadily. The 
stems are of good length and strong. 
Buckeye Glory has won three certificates of Merit,—at Cincinnati, Ohio, Fair¬ 
mont, West Virginia, and Atlanta, Georgia.

BUCKEYE STAR 
Semi-cactus 
Those who love Dahlias always welcome the more useful varieties. One that 
will not only brighten your garden, but also one you can use in your home in delight¬ 
ful arrangement and that you can cut and give to your friends. BUCKEYE STAR 
is this dahlia. The keeping qualities of this flower are of the best, as shown in the 
cut-flower table. 
A flower of exquisite formation with beautiful colortones of jasper pink with 
golden yellow center, it develops mostly from 5 to 7" in diameter and is 3% to 4'' 
deep. It may be grown larger and offers keen competition on the show table. 
The bush is the kind that sends up several nice long lateral branches, thus 
affording a cut stem of desirable length. And these stems are never weak. 
BUCKEYE STAR is the dahlia that was admired by many at Cleveland in 1935. 
It has passed the supreme test—the Florists’ Approval and has won a Certificate of 
Merit at East Lansing, Michigan, and Award of Honor at Atlanta, Georgia. 
It will prove to be a most valuable variety for home and garden.
