THE HEIGHT OF 
DAHLIA SPLENDOR 
The wonderful new Gold Medal Decorative Dahlia 
Patrick O’Mara, is now offered for the first time. 
The flowers are a rare and beautiful autumn shade of orange- 
buff, slightly tinged with Neyron Rose, 8 inches or more in 
diameter, on strong stems that support the flowers well above 
the plants. 
At the trial grounds of the American Dahlia Society at the 
Connecticut State Agricultural College, 1920 , it received the 
highest score, in competition with the world’s best dahlias. 
This was under ordinary field culture. Every grower can 
equal or exceed this result.

X 1 size io by 12 inches, of this Dahlia in 
natural size and colors sent on request.
