NEW DECORATIVE DAHLIA 
PATRICK O’MARA 
A Wonderful New Dahlia Now Offered for 
the First Time. 
Its outstanding features are uniform large flowers, strong stems 
that do not bend with the weight of the flowers, and a pleasing 
amber and gold color that blends with the colors used for 
Autumn decorating. Several blooms exhibited in our store 
window last fall, measured over seven inches in diameter with 
stems 24 to 30 inches long. 
It was one of the big sensations at the Dahlia Show in New 
York, last fall, and attracted favorable attention at many other 
shows. The Florist Exchange of October 9, 1920, speaking of 
the show at White Marsh, Maryland, said of it: 
“ The newest and most conspicuous feature of this year's show 
was the introduction and staging of the firm's new seedling Dahlia , 
‘Patrick O'Mara' a decorative type of the highest order and on 
the color line of Kino of the Autumn. It has a full double 
center and is borne on long, straight stems with excellent foliage. 
This seedling was specially selected by Peter Henderson Co., of 
New York, and, at their suggestion it was named Patrick 
O'Mara, as a tribute to one of America's most notable horticul¬ 
turists. For 1921 this novelty will undoubtedly stand well among 
the leaders. It was the admiration of every visitor and has won 
honors wherever exhibited. In keen competition this variety scored 
92 points, first prize, for best undissefninaled seedlhig. Cer¬ 
tificate of merit and the American Dahlia Society Gold Medal at 
the A. D. S. Show, in New York last week. At the Trial 
Grounds at Storrs, Conn., it scored 91 points. Further successes 
are bronze medal at the Toronto Horticultural Society Show, and 
gold medal at Oregon Dahlia Society exhibition." 
We have a limited stock to offer this year. Price, undivided, 
field-grown roots, $10.00 each. (See engraving.)
