Golden Rule Dahlia Farm , Lebanon , Ohio 
*GOLDEN BEAUTY. A true golden color, and one of the very largest, and of 
great substance. These qualities combined with its freedom of bloom and vigor make 
this the best of the new dahlias we purchased last year. By the originator of 
Oakleigh Monarch it adds greatly to Mr. Hook’s prestige as an introducer of really 
substantial dahlias. (88) Roots $2.00 —Plants $0.75 
JANE COWL. The ease with which fine large flowers may be produced from 
Jane Cowl in the average garden and the beauty of the large golden bronze flowers 
still brings this old variety to the show table each year in surprisingly large numbers. 
And it still wins. (87) Roots $0.50 
JANE DEW. This is one of the best of the very large pinks for garden decorations. 
Very free of bloom. (85) Roots $1.00 —Plants $0.50 
JEAN TRIMBEE. Everybody classes this fine purple as a semi-cactus and we 
have too in the past. But in our fields it more often is Informal. Here is a chance 
for exhibitors, by careful selection of flowers, to win with this dahlia in the two 
classes. One of the most reliable of all purples. (88) Roots $0.50 
JOSEPHINE G. Being such a reliable producer of fine pink flowers, places this 
variety as one of the best of garden pinks. (86) Roots $0.50 
KATHLEEN NORRIS. Though we now have in Pink Grand a more reliable 
producer of large blooms of identical color, this beautiful rose pink will still be grown 
successfully by some exhibitors for some time yet. A well grown bloom of Kathleen 
Norris will win at the shows. (85) Plants $0.50 
LORD OF AUTUMN. This is a fine big clear bright yellow and an early producer. 
It is moreover one of the most beautiful and productive of all large dahlias. (85) 
Roots $2.00 -Plants $0.75 
MARGRACE. Two color combinations of red and gold were fairly common 
among the new dahlias offered a few years ago, but this one will, I believe, remain 
outstanding for a long time yet. Some of us deprecate the large dahlias! but few of 
us dislike them. This is one of our favorites. (85) Roots $1.00 —Plants $0.50 
MARY BAKER. One of the earliest and most free of all dahlias this fine clear 
deep yellow was especially valuable to us in 1938. It bloomed from July 1st till 
October 24th, continuously. It is a good exhibition flower, too. (88) Roots $0.50 
^MARYLAND'S DELIGHT. With its many large clear pink flowers, early 
and late, this variety was a delight in Southern Ohio, too. (87) 
Roots $3.00 —Plants $1.50 
MAN O’ WAR. This large red has a specialty of producing the best of the early 
season red flowers. (85) Roots $0.75 —Plants $0.50 
MICHIGAN WHITE. (See under Semi Cactus). (86) 
Roots $5.00 —Plants $1.50 
MILTON J. CROSS. A combination of lemon yellow and rose and a spectacular 
sight when in full bloom. It does well everywhere. Early. (88) 
Roots $2.00 —Plants $0.75 
*MRS. WM. KNUDSEN. Strictly a large exhibition white this new variety does 
not bloom until about show time, then puts out a fine large array of beautiful big 
exhibition blooms. (85) Roots $3.50 —Plants $1.50 
MOTHER MAYTROTT. Another large white but this one is useful both for 
cutting and for exhibition. Good vigor, fine stems and plenty of flowers. (85) 
Roots $5.00 —Plants $1.50 
MRS. GEO. BOUTILLIER. Biggest of all large reds, combined with perfect 
vigor, production of plenty of roots and best of all, plenty of flowers. (85) 
Roots $0.50 
OPAL. A pastel rose and silver with excellent vigor. It starts flowering in Sep¬ 
tember and by October 1st is a mass of flowers. We used it for cutting. It is an 
excellent root maker. (87) Roots $2.00 —Plants $0.75 
ORIENTAL GLORY. Bright true orange. Being one of those rare dahlias that 
seems immune to insect attacks, it always blooms early and well, and makes a hardy 
clump of roots. (88) Roots $0.75 —Plants $0.50
