BEGONIA ROSE 
GOLDEN RULE ARISTOCRATS 
Dahlia Honor Roll of Time 
Including only outstanding dahlias disseminated for one or more seasons. A Golden Rule 
Aristocrat must first be of such high vigor as to give reliable production of flowers under or- 
dinary varying seasonal conditions. It must also have high qualities of beauty, stem and form. 
FORMAL DECORATIVE 
ARISTOCRAT. F.D. Bloom 8x4. This is an 
outstanding producer of fine medium sized 
flowers. Brilliant orange scarlet held on long 
stems. Extremely profuse and early, it 
gives quantities of bloom throughout the 
season. Highly recommended. 
Root, $2.00; Plant, $1.00 
BEGONIA ROSE. Florists of Dayton and 
Cincinnati ordered this dahlia by name in 
1940, its year of introduction. As near as 
we can judge this is a record. Begonia Rose 
now has four certificates to its credit; one 
each from Cincinnati, E. Lansing, Califor- 
nia and now, West Virginia. The extra 
long stems, the superb color of raspberry 
rose, and its keeping qualities, combined 
with extra freedom of bloom and _ insect 
resistant growth, make it a florists’ flower 
extraordinary, and even a more reliable 
producer than Queen City. Extremely early. 
Bushes 4-5 feet. Flowers 5-7 inches. 
Root, $2.50; Plant, $1.00 
BUCKEYE BRIDE. Geranium pink to light 
salmon. 6 inch. 5-6 feet. For beauty, stem, 
habit and freedom of bloom this dahlia is 
still supreme. It was the greatest favorite 
of the greatly beloved Derrill Hart, and 
an Honor Roll dahlia for many years. 
Root, $0.75 
BUCKEYE PEACH. A combination of peach 
shades, golden yellow prevailing. Very pro- 
lific and very useful for cutting. The best 
bronze cut flower. A very big clump maker.

BUCKEYE KING. F.D. Bloom 9x4. Deep gold 
shading darker at center. This is an old 
variety that still can be grown to win. A 
very quick grower with many laterals. It 
should be disbudded for best results. Very 
good. Root, $0.50

with 8 inch flowers and great depth. Very 
profuse during midseason. Dwarf. This va- 
poty has been very satisfactory in all gar-
