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 k 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 cen- 

 tury, and who for many years was a foremost figure in the horticultural world.
