From PETK 



The magnificent grandeur of the Patrick O'Mara Dahlia excels any variety yet introduced. It has 

 gained wherever known, the admiration of Dahlia fanciers. At the exhibition of the American Dahlia 

 Society held at Hotel Pennsylvania, New York, in 1920 it won first prize for the best new variety. 



The flowers are of the Decorative type, over seven inches across. The broad petals are 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 Avonderful 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. 



We offer field grown roots at $5.00 each. Growing plants ready May 15th, $1.00 each.
