Golden Rule Dahlia Farm , Lebanon , Ohio 
JERSEY'S DAINTY, Str.C. White tinted lavender. This is not only the best white 
cactus we have grown but also is one of the best of all whites. It is a highly artistic 
cut flower, keeps well and as a variety it is uniformly strong growing and produces 
well. We believe it is well worthy of the “Jersey” name established by its famous pink 
cousin ..Roots $1.50—Plants $0.75 
KATHLEEN NORRIS, I.D. Rose Pink. A good bloom of this variety will win in any 
dahlia show. It is the most beautiful of all large pinks. For its best development it 
requires plenty of water early in the season and some clay in its soil. Kathleen Norris 
is a good producer of plump well keeping roots. .Roots $0.50—Plants $0.50 
KAY FRANCIS, S.C. Light yellow. A shade deeper than Frau Bracht. Owing to 
greater vigor and resistance to heat conditions Kay Francis produces many times 
the flowers that Frau Bracht does. Starting early it continues profusely over its long 
blooming season. It is one of the greatest additions to the great family of dahlias in 
many years, since it produces for cutting as well as large exhibition blooms. 
Roots $1.50—Plants $0.75 
LORD OF AUTUMN, I.D. Lemon yellow, a cleai beautiful color in the most beauti¬ 
fully formed yellow and a flower second to none in size. This fine dahlia has been 
prominent since introduction and shares honors with California Idol as one of the 
two best large yellows for the Middle West.....Roots $2.00—Plants $1.00 
MAJOR BOWES, I.D. A glowing geranium red and largest of the large. An out¬ 
standing quality of Major Bowes is its very great vigor. The fine tall bushes start 
blooming early and continue. . .Roots $5.00—Plants $2.50 
MARGRACE, I.D. This new variety is a large brilliant scarlet striped and tipped 
gold. During the great heat wave Margrace was one of the best looking varieties on 
our farm. Coming into flower the blooms were gorgeous, large and finely formed and 
freely produced. It is a notable addition to the red and gold class. 
Roots $5.00—Plants $2.50 
MAY ROBSON, S.C. Bright true pink. We like this so well that we would have to 
name it as one of the best ten dahlias we grow. Its pure color, fine form, great keep¬ 
ing qualities when cut, perfect vigor and steady production of its fine flowers mark 
this as one of the great Dahlias. We used May Robson extensively as a cut flower. 
Roots $2.00—Plants $1.00 
MISS GLORY, C. Deep yellow. This was one of the outstanding new introductions 
on our farm in 1936 and we are especially pleased because of its deep yellow color. 
The bushes were of good size, strong and vigorous.Roots $7.50—Plants $3.75 
MRS. BRUCE COLLINS, Str. C. A pure light lemon yellow, and one of the most 
reliable all round dahlias we know. It grows vigorously, blooms most profusely and 
makes a big clump of roots. And the blooms make good cut flowers and may be grown 
well for exhibition. What more does a dahlia fan want?. Roots $1.50—Plants $0.75 
MISS BELGIUM, Str.C. A bright orange, medium sized flower. Because of its fine 
long stem, readiness to bloom early and late and superb keeping qualities when cut, 
this variety makes one of the most useful of all dahlias. We recommend it very highly. 
Roots $1.50—Plants $0.75 
MRS. HERBERT O'CONNOR, classed as Inc. C., but it came for us mostly informal 
decorations. We saw a fine bloom of this at Detroit and later many more at our own 
farm. It was one of the strongest growing dahlias thru the heat and drought and in 
all perfect in its vigor for us. The color is most attractive and we used it as a cut 
flower. A rare true deep pink. .. .Roots $5.00—Plants $2.50 
MILTON J. CROSS, I.D. A very large lemon yellow and rose, and a spectacular 
sight when a bush is in full bloom. This was a new exhibition Dahlia last year and 
apparently made good nearly everywhere it was grown..Plants $5.00 
MURPHY'S MASTERPIECE, I.D. A very large deep crimson red. For many years 
this has been the standard big red for exhibitions and possibly has won more prizes 
than any other. We look every year for a better exhibition red but it hasn’t yet ap¬ 
peared. In one respect, reliability of growth, “Murphy’s” can be improved upon. 
Roots $2.00—Plants $1.00 
MRS. GEO. LE BOUTILLIER, I.D. Deep crimson red. Fully as large as Murphy’s 
Masterpiece, this Dahlia shows the greatest vigor, root making and root keeping 
qualities, and is a free bloomer ...Roots $1.50—Plants $0.75
