 Catalog No. 6, January 19U8 



DAYLILIES 



Every year new varieties are added to the already long lists of beautiful day- 

 lilies. Gradually the fine new varieties are winning the recognition they richly 

 deserve. Gardeners will be well repaid by adding to their collections some of the 

 outstandingly good varieties now available. 



Varieties and Season of Blooming 



To get the greatest enjoyment out of daylilies one should choose varieties to 

 range from light shades of cream and yellow through deep yellow and orange to the 

 rich tawny and red tones. To aid you in obtaining the best, we endeavor to offer 

 only those that have good growing and blooming characters in addition to high flower 

 quality. 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 Hay 2-31; 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. The very superior new red variety 

 BERWYN has received many favorable comments while growing on our grounds. Its price 

 has been reduced to $3« We are hoping to be able to supply the increased demand at 

 that attractive price. ADVENTURE, a fine new yellow, is also very popular on our 

 grounds .
