Varieties and Season of Blooming 
Daylilies, in their many and diverse varieties, have an important place among 
present-day perennials. They offer a unique combination of ease of culture, flori- 
ferousness, fine flower form, exceptional shades of coloring and long blooming 
season. They are deservedly becoming more popular every year. The possession of 
daylilies will give lasting satisfaction. 
In selecting varieites to list from the large number of varieties now offered 
we have considered quality rather than quantity. The varieties here listed have 
been chosen for their color, season of blooming, duration of flowering, high quality 
of flower, and good garden performance in this locality. 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., varieites marked "e" (early) bloom within the period of May 2-31; 
those marked "e m" (early mid-season) June 1-30; those indicated by "m" (mid-season) 
July 1-20; and those marked "1" (late) July 20 until frost. The mid-season varieties 
produce the finest flowers. 
Instructions for Ordering and Planting 
We take pride in our list of fine varieties and in supplying, at a reasonable 
price, strong, vigorous plants. All of 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. Prices by the dozen of a kind on application. If plants 
are dug and shipped soon after blooming, they should bloom the next year. Late fall 
planting is not advised where the weather is cold enough for winter injury to be a 
problem. Plant in a deep fertile soil. 
New Varieties Introduced by H. P. Traub 
The introductions of Dr. He. Pe Traub, a noted breeder of daylilies, are con- 
sidered by connoissuers to be outstanding. 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 blend of 
red and gold, with especially charming effect. It should be in every collection.
