The Splendid New Decorative Dahlia 
“Patrick O’Mara” 
“A MEDAL WINNER WHEREVER SHOWN” 
This Dahlia Always Brings Profit to the Professional and Credit to the Amateur 
A WONDERFUL, large, beautiful flower. The 
blooms are 8 inches or more in diameter, on 
long, strong, straight stems, firmly set at right 
angles, close to the stem which holds the heavy 
flowers without drooping. The petals are firm and 
compact, showing no open center. THE COLOR, 
an unusually soft, and pleasing shade of orange- 
buff, slightly tinged with Neyron rose, more pro- 
nounced on the reverse side. A rare, beautiful 
and taking autumn shade. Sure to be in great 
demand for commercial use and ornamental 
gardens. 
HIGHEST SCORE at the trial grounds of the 
American Dahlia Society, at the Connecticut 
Agricultural College under ordinary field culture, 
which gives results that any grower may expect 
to equal. 
“ Its growing, keeping and shipping qualities are 
excellent. Growers will find its habit, color, etc., 
something that has been greatly needed. It was 
the outstanding variety of the trial garden both as to 
habit of growth and the way it holds the flowers on 
the strong stems well above the foliage; a splendid 
keeping variety .” Prof. Geo. W. Fraser, Connec- 
ticut Agricultural College. 
Chicago, 111., Oct. 28. 1920 
The box of blooms of Dahlia Patrick O’Mara came safely. Although the box 
seems to have been in the handsof the express company for something like fifty-six hours 
the flowers were in remarkably good condition. The firm texture seems to give this 
novelty, shipping qualities quite exceptional in the Dahlia. The blooms have at- 
tracted much favorable comment from visitors to our office.
