GOLDEN RULE INTRODUCTIONS FOR 1938 
COMETEER, Straight cactus. A clear bright golden buff, from mid-season on, 
and early blooms show a beautiful blush of pink. This variety is early flowering as 
most vigorous varieties are. 
A friend who arrived in a pouring rain said it was worth while to drive many 
miles to see just that one dahlia, not only was it near perfection in beauty and 
stem, but to him the best thing about it was its strong big bushes. So many other 
cactus are not so strong in growth. 
This new cactus grows from six to nine inches in diameter. We had had inquiries 
from visitors at Storrs Trial Grounds about the flne cactus we had there, and were 
not wholly surprised when it won a Certificate of Merit under No. G-4, scoring 86 
for exhibition and 85 for cutting. This cactus will be seen in the cut-flower market 
as well as in exhibitions..Roots $10.00 —Plants $3.50 
SARACEN. We never grew a good reliable purple Decorative until we grew 
this one. It blooms early as all dahlias should do, and it blooms profusely too. We 
were amazed to see 10-inch flowers when we tried it in a friend’s garden. It is 
close to royal purple in color and each petal is very thinly outlined with a light, or 
whitish edge. With this dahlia we now have a purple decorative that we can put with 
Jean Trimbee..Roots $5.00 —Plants $1.50 
TECUMSEH, ball. Dark red. We grew this seedling of Mr. Burtner’s and its 
performance so impressed us that we acquired the entire stock. It is the biggest ball 
dahlia we ever grew, a perfect flower of its type with perfect stem and we believe 
it will win wherever exhibited. There is an increased interest in Ball Dahlias. This is 
an outstanding flower, blooming early and the plants seem very insect resisting.
