VEILE & MENDHAM, EASTON, PA. 
JEAN TRIMBEE— (*) —Trimbee-Waite) Semi-cactus. Rich, petunia violet, it 
stands alone in its color. Very large and sensational with a high, full cen¬ 
ter. Excellent stems. It won the prize for the largest dahlia in the Trenton 
Show for us— 13V2 inches. It was by far the best variety in our gardens this 
year. We have never seen such a wealth of unusually large blooms on any 
dahlia bush. We have extra fine stock. 
Root—$2.00 Plant—$1.00 
JEROME KERN —See pages 4 and 5. 
JERSEY’S DAINTY -(Waite) Straight Cactus. A lovely and very satisfactory dah¬ 
lia, white with a faint overtone of pink. At times some of the flowers were pure 
white. The growth is excellent, the stem is fine, and it is a profuse bloomer. 
Another fine dahlia from the famous originator who has given us some of the 
best dahlias of today. 
Root—$5.00 Plant—$2.50 
JERSEY’S MAJESTIC — (Waite) Informal Decorative. When size is to be consid¬ 
ered in dahlias, there are few varieties that will grow consistently as large as this 
variety. The color is a pleasing blend of salmon, old gold and rose. The fol¬ 
iage is very dark, bordering on the bronze shades, and adds greatly to the beauty 
of the flower. We exhibited three immense flowers at the New York Show that 
were as fine as anything there. 
Root—$5.00 Plant—$2.50 
JERSEY’S MELODY—(Waite) Semi-cactus. Tyrian rose shading to silver on the 
tips with a silver reverse. A very striking variety on fine stiff stems that will 
give you a wealth of bloom. 
Root—$2.00 Plant—$1.00 
KATHLEEN NORRIS — (Fisher &C Masson) Informal Decorative. The greatest 
exhibition dahlia of all time, seen on every exhibition table. Unfortunately, 
there has been poor stock of this variety on the market and many people have 
told us they could not grow it. We have never had a bad plant nor have we 
ever received a complaint from anyone that has purchased it from us. Im¬ 
mense silvery pink on the best of stems. 
Root—$1.00 Plants—$0.50 
KAWEAH —(Meussdorfer) Informal Decorative. A new color in dahlias and certain¬ 
ly one of the largest flowers grown. It is rich fuschia deepening toward the cen¬ 
ter. The bush is a very thrifty grower. This variety is at its best when the 
nights are cool, as the lower temperature seems to bring out the color in the 
flower. 
Root—$5.00 Plant—$2.50 
KENTUCKY RED —(White ) Informal Decorative. A dazzling, sparkling red that 
is the brightest thing in the garden. We know of no other dahlia that can touch 
this one for vivid color. A row of these look like a bon-fire. Fine stems and 
excellent foliage. Highly recommended. 
Root—$2.50 Plant—$1.25 
LADY M0YRA P0NS0NBY_(l ee) Informal Decorative. Immense yellow flow¬ 
ers on bushes with as fine a growth as you could wis'h for in a dahlia. An intro¬ 
duction from Washington, it was successful in all parts of the country. Stems 
are rigid and long, making it possible to cut the magificent blooms to advan¬ 
tage. Highly recommended. 
Root—$7.50 Plants only—$3.75 
LA FIESTA —(*) — (Cordes-Eastman) Informal Decorative. Very large, beauti¬ 
fully formed flowers, butter yellow penciled red. The growth is fine and the 
stems stiff, but with us it is rather a shy bloomer. 
Root—$5.00
