Golden Rule Dahlia Farm , Lebanon , Ohio 
A New Race of Dahlias 
This, our old slogan, is gradually coming to be recognized as based on fact, because 
—'“It does not require an expert to succeed with Golden Rule Introductions.” 
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 everywhre in “everyman’s” garden. 
We are proud of the records made by our introductions listed below, which 
comprise the majority of all we have originated: 
Buckeye Bride, 1930 
Buckeye Peach, 1932 
Honor Bright, 1934 
Buckeye King, 1934 
and the miniatures:- Red Head, 
Arcturus, 1935 
Queen City, 1936 
Buckeye Glory, 1937 
Buckeye Star, 1937 
1933 and Buckeye Baby, 1936. 
Last year, 1938, we introduced Cometeer, at our farm, the most successful cut 
flower cactus; Saracen, described by others as the best of all large purples and Te- 
cumseh, perhaps the best of all ball Dahlias.
