Golden Rule Dahlia Farm, Lebanon, Ohio 
BUCKEYE GLORY, Informal Dec. 1937 
ADDED to the three certificates of Merit won by this dahlia last year, it has performed 
this year, in a difficult season, as a thoroughbred should perform. Most important, 
it was much sought after as a cut-flower. The blooms, cut young, keep long. Its 
beauty is unquestionable. A bright orchid shade, a real lavender, the most beautiful 
lavender introduced to date. It can be grown up to 12 inches, but we prefer it smaller. 
Buckeye Glory grows roots like Mrs. I. de Vere Warner. 
One of our friends in Virginia won extensively with Buckeye Glory at the state 
Fair at Richmond as the best lavender and the most outstanding dahlia in the show. 
He writes: “This is a good one and will go places. Everyone admires it as it stands 
out head and shoulders over a number of other good lavenders.’’ 
From Atlanta, Ga., comes the following: “I wish to tell you that your Buckeye 
Glory has been a real contribution to our Dahlias here in Georgia—has won prominently 
in the shows and is much desired for its color and substance. All our trouble in 
the Variety Test last year was worth the effort, to gain this one variety.” 
Buckeye Glory, as well as the other Golden Rule Originations will be found to 
appear to advantage the season following introduction, as well as subsequent seasons.
