A Lovely Stranger Comes to Our Gardens 



. . NEW HYBRID 

 HEMEROCRLLIS 



Not that this group of plants is exactly a stranger, 

 but the new introductions listed herewith are so great 

 an improvement on the familiar so-called "Day Lilies" 

 or "Lemon Lilies" that you would scarcely recognize 

 them as such. 



We have gathered together this limited li;t of the finest new 

 productions from American, English and Japanese hybridists, and 

 we can assure you that no flower of the summer and early autumn 

 season will provide greater satisfaction where tones of yellow and 

 orange are desired. They are especially desirable in the Japanese 

 Iris garden, or among the lily plantings, for they lend a splash of 

 color wholly lacking in either of these groups. Eesides, they are 

 fine cut-flower subjects, for while the individual blossoms last for 

 only a day, new ones follow so rapidly that there is a continuous 

 succession of blooms. They are deliciously fragrant. 



CULTURE. Simple and easy to grow, they demand only a rea- 

 sonably moist soil, fairly rich, and prefer — but do not require — 

 slight shade. They are true hardy perennials. Plants will be de- 

 livered in September or October. 



AMARYLLIS Each $1.00 



Tall golden orange, the large blooms shaped like an amaryllis. 

 Midsummer flowering. 



ANNA BETSCHER Each $1.00 



Large flower of deep orange shaded with bronze. July and 

 August; a very fine new one.

An early June bloomer; light apricot orange in color, and a 

 very free and easy doer. 



CINNABAR Each $1.50 



Fine delicate shade of brownish red; sepals and petals strongly 

 gold-glistening. A ruddy and unusual color, with up to 18 flowers 

 on a stem. 



CISSIE GUISEPPI Each $2.00 



Deep copper colored flower with pale yellow throat. Most un- 

 usual in color, but lacks the size of many others in the list. Scarce.

Deep orange with blooms rather star shaped. Early flowering, 

 of medium height.

The largest variety in our collection, a huge flower on 4-foot 

 stems, in color a blend of buff, apricot, orange and terra-cotta. Few 

 plants. 



GOLDEN DREAM Each $1.50 



Richest golden orange, perfect in form. In our opinion this is 

 one of the loveliest Daylilies in existence. Rather late, lasting a 

 long time.

Canary yellow self, of great size and bold growing habit. An 

 American variety which has received special awards abroad. 



J. A. CRAWFORD Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50

 of Golden Dream, but not such a deep coloring. One of the best.

Distinctive flower of frosted apricot, blooming in July and Au-

Bright orange with the central zone of each petal blotched 

 ruddy purple-red. A striking and wholly different sort.

 distinct and very fine Day lily, blooming in June and July.
