Golden Rule Dahlia Farm, Lebanon, Ohio 
CHAUTAUQUA SUNSET, F .D. Gold and coral. A row across our main field produced 
a tremendous amount of bloom, and was outstanding for beauty and vigor. Newer 
introductions of the same general type or color have failed to equal it. 
Roots $1.50—Plonts $0.75 
CHAUTAUQUA SALUTE, F.D. Pure White. Here is a Dahlia that seems perfect, 
when not dew-burned. Beauty, stem, vigor are unsurpassed. We have not yet seen a 
more beautiful white, nor one with better qualities of flower, stem and bush. 
Roots $1.50—Plants $0.75 
CHALLENGER, S.C. A rich Cardinal red with gold at the base of the petals with 
small petaloids. The color is very brilliant and rich. The bush is a nice clean grower, 
open foliage and the blooms are carried on long strong stems well out of the foliage. 
A gorgeous dahlia in every respect.. Roots $3.00—Plants $1.50 
CHEROKEE, S.C. A real lavender, clear and bright. This variety produced the 
largest lavender flowers we ever had at the farm. An exhibition dahlia of the first rank. 
Roots $5.00—Plants $2.50 
ELEGANCE, Golden yellow with a beautiful pinkish sheen. Late one Sunday 
afternoon Geo. Brayton helped us cut Elegance for the Monday morning cut flower 
market, and, I believe, it was a revelation to him. Elegance furnished us with more 
cut flowers than any variety except Queen City. Arrange three to five blooms of this 
Dahlia in a suitable vase in the house and you will realize its decorative value. 
Roots $1.00—Plants $0.50 
EVA HUNT, I.D. Waxy white. We liked this tall strong growing white. It was 
early with its flowers and the late blooms were also perfect and kept well. They had 
nice long stems .Roots $2.00—Plants $1.00 
FORT MONMOUTH, l.D. Rich deep claret red. The Dahlia tho old is still widely 
grown and liked. Its great reliability, vigor and profusion of bloom are responsible. 
Roots $0.50—Plants $0.50 
GEORGE WASHINGTON, I.D. This was one of the most beautiful as well as one 
of the largest new dahlias we have grown. A rose pink with clear silver sheen. It is 
a fine strong grower and should go far as an exhibition variety. 
Roots $5.00—Plants $2.50 
GOOD NIGHT, I.D. This is one of the darkest of all blackish reds, and has al¬ 
ways been a very reliable producer of bloom. It has been a prominent variety for 
several years ...Plants $0.50 
GOLDEN SONNE, Str. C. This is not a new dahlia, but is a standard for beauty and 
quality. It is most excellent for cutting having a bright golden yellow base, with outer 
petals heavily shaded rose. And the stems are long, slim and wiry. It blooms profusely. 
Plants $0.50 
HONOR BRIGHT, F.D. A clear amber with rose or coral tints making a clear 
toned bronze or terra cotta. This has been one of our most successful varieties being 
widely grown and liked as a cut flower as well as for exhibition. Ballego & Sons in Leiden, 
Holland, praised Honor Bright highly and feature it in their catalogue. It received 
an Award of Honor from the Dutch Horticultuial Society in 1936. 
Honor Bright, like Queen City, throws up long canes from near the ground and 
is a striking sight when in full bloom. . Roots $0.75—Plants $0.50 
JANE COWL, I.D. This fine large flower is a combination of golden buff, with 
shadings of apricot or rose. Frequently bushes are found producing clear or near 
clear golden yellow. It has long been known as a standard for high vigor and certainty 
of performance. It is probably more widely grown than any other dahlia. 
Roots $0.50—Plants $0.50 
JEAN TRIMBEE, S.C. As far as our own farm is concerned Trimbee is the only 
purple dahlia which stands out in our collection. It is a bright petunia purple and its 
formation is in a class by itself. With us it might well be classed as Informal. It is 
early, outgrowing most varieties in the fore part of the season, and is a constant free 
bloomer on good stems. Unsurpassed for garden and exhibition. 
Roots $0.75—Plants $0.50 
JOSEPHINE G., I.D. A light bright pink tending to rose pink, an early bloomer 
and a variety that does not fail in our section to produce well every season. It is one 
of the very best of garden varieties.Roots $0.50 
JERSEY'S BEAUTY, F.D. It is about fifteen years since this Dahlia was introduced, 
and we believe it to be the best of all Dahlia varieties. Its record as a popular flower 
in gardens all over the world and, more important, in acceptance by florists wherever 
grown, are facts that make this dahlia supreme . Roots $0.50 Plants $0.50
