"A NEW RACE OF DAHLIAS" 
T his was our slogan in 1929. Today we can see the tangible results of our years 
of effort. 
It does not require a Dahlia expert to succeed with Golden Rule introductions. 
A correspondent from Ithaca, New York, writes, October 22nd, 1937: “Outside of 
Queen City, there was very little bloom from Dahlias this year.” From Richmond, 
Virginia, September 27th, 1937, comes the following: “Thanks for the privilege and 
pleasure of raising three great Dahlias, Buckeye Glory, Buckeye Star and Queen City.” 
We do not personally take all the credit for introducing so many successful 
varieties. It is with humility that we acknowledge the severe test conditions which 
our seedlings undergo at Golden Rule Farm, and which better enable us to determine 
which seedlings are not only meritorious for beauty, but also are sufficiently strong 
in constitution to survive and live their life of beauty in the gardens of the world. 
We believe such conditions: Ordinary field cultivation on ordinary farm land, 
insects, sweeping winds, are really needed for trial grounds for new Dahlias. The 
seedlings showing up well under such conditions have a much better chance of doing 
well here, there and everywhere in “everyman’s” garden. 
Here is a list of our introductions which have proved themselves to be great 
dahlias, dahlias that bloom for you because they have vigor as well as size and beauty 
of color and form. 
Buckeye Bride, 1930 Buckeye King, 1934
