Golden Rule Dahlia Farm , Lebanon , Ohio 
MISS GLORY. A grand deep yellow. One of the very largest of semi-cactus dahlias. 
It is strong and vigorous and produces fine flowers during the exhibition season. (85) 
Roots $1.00 —Plants $0.50 
PRIDE OF SHADOWBROOK. Plenty of bloom produced by a dahlia is as essen¬ 
tial for exhibition purposes as for cut flower uses. This new free blooming orange is 
good for both. (86) Plants $1.50 
RED JUG. A deep crimson, almost carmine. Characterized by perfection, of form 
and beauty, this dahlia is also blessed with a rugged constitution that enables it to 
furnish fine flowers anywhere at any time. (85) Roots $0.50 
*ROYAL AUVERGNE. Imagine a semi-cactus flower on Honor Bright and you 
have this dahlia. The same perfection of bush growth and stem. The flowers have 
great substance. (85) Roots $2.00 —Plants $0.75 
*SCARLET WONDER. This was probably the best of the red cactus or semi¬ 
cactus we got from Europe with the exception of one other. The blooms have real 
class and nearly perfection. (85). Plants $0.75 
TANNENBURG. A truly unique, a different dahlia. Red lightly tipped gold, 
the flowers are of great substance and very useful for cut flowers. (86) 
Roots $0.75 —Plants $0.50 
Cactus Dahlias 
*BEARNE. Inc. C. pink. And the best pink we have yet seen. We saw fine blooms 
at all the shows and used it for a cut-flower at the farm. It blooms very early and 
keeps right on producing fine flowers up to the end of the season. (88) Plants $0.75 
BERGER’S JEWELL. With most dahlias the delicate shaded colors do not sur¬ 
vive the great open spaces of our farm. This white tinted lavender, however, has 
great substance and it is useful to us for cutting. The bushes are also quite vigorous.

COMETEER, Str. C. When we introduced this dahlia last year we didn’t 
realize that it was going to be the first cactus at our farm which could be depended 
on for cut flowers. We cut Cometeer for the florist market from July 15th till frost. 
It is essentially a gold color but sometimes a pinkish tone is prominent. To serve 
the demands of the shows and the florists, kept our bushes stripped all through 
September. Next season we will grow more of Cometeer. (89) 
Roots $3.00 —Plants $1.00 
*DULC1NEA, A pure spectrum red in a beautiful straight cactus. An extremely 
profuse bloomer on long straight stems and it is always prominent in shows winning 
many prizes. Roots $2.00 —Plants $0.75 
EASTER GREETING. A white straight cactus that is useful for a cut flower 
whether grown outdoors or in a greenhouse. We filled three benches with this dahlia 
under glass and had plenty of bloom for the florists during October and well into 
November. This dahlia was developed originally for pot plants for the Easter trade. 
It is excellent for that purpose. (85) Roots $0.50 —Plants $0.50 
FRAU IDA MANSFIELD. A deep yellow straight cactus of good size and one 
that always appears at the shows winning prizes. It is a wonderful keeper, and 
grows and blooms well wherever grown. (85) Roots $1.00 —Plants $0.50 
JERSEY’S DAINTY, Str. C. Pure white. The best white cactus for cutting, 
and you will always see it prominently displayed at our shows winning ribbons. (87) 
Roots $0.50 
*JULIUS C. BUNGE, Str. Cactus. Unquestionably this is the most beautiful 
pink cactus. The blooms are of great substance, on the finest of stems and, in a 
season, many are produced. (85) Plants $1.00 
MISS BELGIUM, Str. Cactus. Probably this is the most useful and most popular 
of all cactus. Bright red-orange, medium size and holds up a long time when cut. (87)
