“GOLDEN RULE” 
Bloom 12x5 — Bush 4% ft. 
Color is true phlox purple by Ridgeway’s 
chart. A clear shade of lavender, so bright it 
dazzles the eye. The large clean flowers aver- 
age 10-in. in diameter and can be grown 14-in. 
Stems very long and stiff hold the bloom at 
the proper angle. The bushes are extra healthy 
and branch from the ground. The canes need 
only to be disbudded one joint to give exhibi- 
tion blooms. 
This is the finest lavender dahlia we have 
ever seen and was heartily acclaimed by all 
who saw it growing. A. H. Achievement Medal 
at the Midwest Dahlia Show in Indianapolis,

Bright amaranth purple with pale amaranth 
pink reverse which shows thru to the face of 
the flower. 
In 1940 we marked this seedling in our seed 
plot and labeled it the largest of all 1940 
seedlings. It was properly labeled for it has 
consistently bloomed about 9-in. x 6-in. and 
has grown under good culture to 12-in. x 8-in. 
Foliage is heavy and habits of growth are 
perfect, as are the stems. 
This dahlia will live for many years in the 
gardens of those who grow good dahlias.
