DAHLIA ROOTS 



The Famous New Dahlia PATRICK O'MARA 



Shown in colors on third page of cover. 



The flowers are of the Decorative type, over seven inches across, with broad 

 petals beautifully twisted and curled. The color is a revelation. Like the glowing 

 splendor of the setting sun, the color of the Patrick O'Mara Dahlia runs through the 

 entire gamut of shades of gold; from soft canary or silvery gold to the tawny shades 

 of golden bronze. A soft salmony pink underlies the golden shades and the whole 

 is overlaid with a beautiful metallic sheen. The stems which are long and strong 

 hold the blooms stiffly erect. It shows no tendency of having a weak neck. As a 

 cut flower it has wonderful lasting qualities. 



In naming this Dahlia the introducer has truly paid a noble tribute to the memory 

 of Patrick O'Mara who was associated with our house for half a century, and who 

 for many years was a foremost figure in the horticultural world. {See engraving.)
