VEILE & MENDHAM, EASTON, PA. 
ROYAL FLUSH — (Ballay) Informal Decorative. A magnificent, huge scarlet red 
on fine stems. It is best described as a red Monmouth Champion. Fine foliage 
and all the good attributes that go to make up a fine dahlia. Highly recom¬ 
mended. We think this is one of Mr. Ballay’s best. 
Root—$3.50 Plant—$1.75 
RUDY VALLEE—(*)—(Reed) Semi-cactus. An odd shade; grenadine orange. 
Large flowers of beautiful formation and with full centers. Rigid stems, and 
fine foliage. Not a prolific bloomer. 
Root—$3.50 Plant—tfl.75 
SANHICAN’S LAVENDER -(Fisher & Masson) Formal Decorative. From now on 
Jersey’s Beauty has a more than average competitor in the cut flower class. While 
not resembling Jersey’s Beauty in color, it holds the same place in the lavender 
class as Beauty does in the pink. Medium sized flowers on the best of stems 
with unexcelled growth. We welcome a variety of this type as a relief from the 
monstrous siized dahlias that are effective more for their size than for their 
beauty. 
Root—$2.00 Plant—$1.00 
SANHICAN’S METEOR—(*) — (Fisher & Masson) Informal Decorative. A very 
striking blending of flaming red and gold. Large size on fine stems. Plant early. 
Root—$2.00 Plant—$1.00 
SATAN — (*) — (Ballay-Success) Semi-cactus. Here is the old devil himself. No 
flower could have had a more appropriate name. The color is red with tiny 
gold tips giving the flower the appearance of having horns. Flowers of enorm¬ 
ous size on thick stems. For exhibition it is best grown to no more than four 
canes. 
Root—$5.00 Plant—$2.50 
SHAHRAZAD—(*)— (Newsom) Informal Decorative. Huge rose pink of beau- 
ful form and color. In California they call it a pink Jane Cowl, but we can¬ 
not see the resemblance. Fine stems and growth. 
Root—$1.50 Plant-—$0.75 
SONNY MASSON— (*)—( V eiie &C Mendham) Informal Decorative. Rich, vel¬ 
vety red, nearly scarlet with tiny petaloids of gold, and gold shadings on the 
reverse. In keeping with the modern dahlia standards, the flowers are im¬ 
mense, with great depth and held at the proper angle on excellent stems. The 
foliage is thick and leathery. It was excellent for us this year and drew every 
customer in our garden to it with its brilliant display of color. On the Honor 
Roll. 
Root—$2.00 Plant—$1.00 
STR0NGHEART -(Ballay) Informal Decorative. There are a great many dah¬ 
lias of autumn shades, but never have we grown one that had such a lasting 
impression on us. Very large pure gold, not a dead gold, on fine stems, grow¬ 
ing on husky bushes, made this dahlia the best seller in our gardens. At the 
Bryn Mawr Show we noticed two very beautiful blooms of it. 
Root—$5.00 Plant—$2.50 
SULTAN OF HILLCREST —(Scott) Informal Decorative. A giant flower of clear 
gold flushed with bronze and tints of brownish red. It nearly borders on the 
formal type. Bushes are very large and they bear a wealth of big blossoms on 
fine stems. On the Honor Roll. 
Root—$10.00 Plant—$5.00
