VEILE 8c MENDHAM, EASTON, PA. 
COLONIAL DAME _ (v e il e 6C Mendham) Semi-Cactus. Beautiful clear lavender 
that proved a sensation all over the country this past season. There is a great 
scarcity of dahlias of this shade and it turned out to be a more than welcome 
addition as well as leader in this color. A customer in New York told us it was 
the best dahlia in his garden, and we have received many letters since telling 
us of its good qualities. We have received nothing but the highest praise for 
this old-fashioned lady. The flower is built up of many petals, thickly spaced, 
and radiating from a very full center. The foliage is excellent and the stem 
fine. A very profuse bloomer. For exhibition grow to four canes. On the 
Honor Roll. See page 7. 
Root—$5.00 Plant—$2.50 
CYNTHIA—(Waite) Informal Decorative. A very pretty flower of cattelya shade. 
It has a very strong growth, but should be thinned out for best results. The 
stems are fine and the flowers medium to large. 
Root—$2.00 Plant—$1.00 
DIANA BOURBON —(Fisher 6C Masson) Incurved Cactus. Light red, and a much 
more satisfactory dahlia than American Triumph although not as spectacular. 
With us, American Triumph proved a bad actor, but Diana Bourbon has more 
than taken its place. Fine stems and growth. 
Root—$2.00 Plant—$1.00 
DOROTHY STONE—(*) — (Fisher 6c Masson) Informal Decorative. Very large 
flowers of a deep pink. A sensational flower in the garden and in the show 
room. Excellent growth and stiff stem. Grow to four canes for exhibition. 
Root—$1.00 Plant—$0.50 
DWIGHT W. MORROW—(Dahliadel) Formal Decorative. A very massive flower 
of a deep, rich cardinal red. Unfortunately, with us the stem has a tendency 
to bend, but we understand that this is not characteristic of this variety in all 
soils. 
Root—$1.50 Plant—$0.75 
EAGLE ROCK FANTASY —(Broomall-Success) Informal Decorative. Clear, mallow 
pink of great size and depth. Excellent stems and insect-proof foliage. One 
of the greatest of prize winners. It was one of the best varieties in our gar¬ 
dens this year. 
Root—$2.50 Plant—$1.75 
EDITH EASTBURN SIMONS —(Peacock) Semi-cactus. Do you remember the 
old Elsie Daniels? That old variety was always one of our favorites. At last 
we have found a dahlia that at least approaches "Elsie”. Soft lavender-pink 
and white blended in a remarkable bloom. Fine stem and foliage. For exhi¬ 
bition, grow to four canes. 
Root—$5.00 Plant—$2.50 
EDWARD RINDFLEISCH -(Rindfleisch) Formal Decorative. A tremendous bold 
flower of a magnificent shade of red, held erect on cane like stems. It is one 
of the best red dahlias that we have ever seen. More, and better flowers were 
shown of this variety at the New York Show than any other variety, with the 
possible exception of Frau O. Bracht. Highly recommended. 
Root—$2.50 Plant—$1.75 
ELEANOR M. RADELL—(Felsinger) Informal Decorative. A lovely shell pink 
shading to deep rose at the center. Not a large variety but a very striking one. 
Nice growth and stem. On the Honor Roll. 
Root—$5.00 Plant—$2.50 
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT —(Veile 6C Mendham) See pages 2 and 3.
