VEILE & MENDHAM, EASTON, PA. 
JERSEY’S DAINTY—(Waite) St. C. A very apt name for a very beautiful flower. 
White, with faint pink shadings in the center. Nice foliage and stems and an 
easy dahlia to grow for a cactus variety. Highly recommended. 
Root—$2.50 Plant—$1.25 
JERSEY’S MAJESTIC—(Waite) I. D. One of the largest of all dahlias. A pleas¬ 
ing blend of salmon, old gold, and rose, with magnificent dark foliage. One 
of the best for exhibition. 
Root—$3.50 Plant—$1.75 
JEROME KERN—(Veile & Mendham) I. D. We now come to the loveliest dah¬ 
lia of all. We honestly believe there is no dahlia as beautiful as this one, and 
if we are to believe the reports received since its introduction three years ago, it 
is thought just as much of away from home as here. A gorgeous shrimp pink 
with gold shadings, its petals twisted and curled, on fine stems with excellent 
foliage . . . no wonder it won more prizes this year than any since its introduc¬ 
tion. The Washburn Dahlia Gardens of Kokomo, Indiana, kindly sent us a 
photo of eight blooms of Jerome Kern that won a prize at the Indiana State 
Show. We are sorry that space does not permit us to reproduce this picture 
here for it is a photograph of great beauty. When we named this flower after 
Mr. Kern, the noted composer, we wanted to be certain that it would live as 
long as his melodies. 1934 will long be remembered for his lovliest tune, 
"Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,” but it will also be remembered for the lovliest 
dahlia of all, Jerome Kern. See Illustration on Cover. 
Roots—$5.00 Plants—$2.50 
KAWEAH—(Muessdorffer) I. D. Very large fushia color. It can be grown to 
an immense size with but little forcing. Foliage and stems are fine. 
Plants only—$2.50 
KATHLEEN NORRIS—(F. dC M.) I. D. Greatest exhibition pink of all time. 
Immense silvery pink on the best of stems. 
Root—$1.00 Plant—$1.00 
KAY FRANCIS—(Cordes-Eastman) S. C. Clear golden yellow without any shad, 
ings. It greatly resembles Frau O. Bracht. It was one of the leading priize 
winners of the past year. The flowers are not large but of clean cut beauty. 
Plants only—$5.00 
KENTUCKY RED—(White) I. D. Dazzling red. There is no more vivid dahlia 
in cultivation. Exhibition size, with fine stems and foliage. 
Root—$1.50 Plant—$1.00 
LADY MOYRA PONSONBY—I. D. We cannot really describe the beauty of this 
lovely flower. It is by far the best yellow dahlia that we have ever grown. Very 
satisfactory in growth with very large flowers supported on fine stems. It has 
one fault, that of being a poor root maker. 
Root (Stock limited)—$5.00 Plant—$2.50 
LAWRENCE TIBBETT-—(Meussdorffer) F. D. Frankly, the biggest disappoint¬ 
ment of all of last year’s novelties. It may be good on the Pacific Coast where 
it was originated, and possibly in the east, but as it grew for us, it certainly was 
not worth the $25.00 per root asked for it. 
Plants only—$2.50
