DAYLILIES 



i 



The newer developments in daylily varieties give a very wide range of color 

 and time of blooming. They lend themselves to many uses in home-ground plantings, 

 adding color and charm to the perennial border at a time when flowers may be 

 scarce. They also form an effective front for a green bank of shrubbery. Wherever 

 used daylilies will give life and distinctiveness to your plantings. 



Varieties and Season of Blooming 



The varieties here listed have been chosen for their outstanding qualities. 

 The time of blooming varies somewhat from year to year but one can roughly classify 

 the varieties into four groups: viz, early, early mid-season, mid-season, and late. 

 In the vicinity of Washington, D.C., varieties marked "e" (early) bloom within the 

 period of May 2-315 those marked "em" (early mid-season) June 1-30; those indicated 

 by "m" (mid-season) July 1-20; and those marked "1" (late) July 20 until frost. 



Instructions for Ordering and Planting 



We take pride in supplying strong plants of superior varieties at a reasonable 

 price. We do not sell un-named seedlings. Our stock is guaranteed true to name. 

 If a mistake should occur adjustment will be promptly made. Postage will be paid on 

 all orders of $2.00 or more. Transplanting may be done in spring or in mid-summer 

 after blooming is over. Late fall planting is not advised where the weather is cold 

 enough for winter injury to be a problem, Daylilies grow best when planted in a 

 fertile soil. 



New Varieties 



The introductions of Dr. H. P, Traub, a noted breeder of daylilies, are increas- 

 ing in popularity every year. Such varieties as Mayor Starzynski and Lidice are fine 

 for their garden effect, while Mildred Orpet, Geo. Kelso, Carnival, and Duchess of 

 Windsor add color harmony in the garden with their lighter shades. His Dr. Stout 

 variety combines shapeliness of flower form and a pleasing orange color with a reddish 

 tint. It should be in every collection. We are glad to report that the stock of 

 Berwyn, a very high quality red, is sufficient to enable a reduction in price to $£. 

 The stock of the very superior new yellow, Adventure, is sufficient to warrant reduc- 

 ing the price to $3. This variety has given excellent performance on our grounds; 

 it blooms over a long season, has good branching and fine finish and form.
