As you become more familiar with daylilies you are more and more impressed 

 with their value as a superb perennial. The long blooming season, the number 

 of blossoms to the clump, the wide range of color, and ease of culture all recommend 

 the daylily as a fine garden flower. The daylily is deservedly becoming more 

 populer every year. To know daylilies is to want them. 



In selecting varieties to list from the large number of varieties now offered 

 we have considered quality rather than quantity. The varieties here listed have 

 been chosen with a view to color, season of blooming, duration of flowering, high 

 quality of flower, and good garden performance in this locality. Although their 

 tirae of blooming varies somewhat from year to year, one can roughly classify the 

 varieties into four groupst viz., early, early mid-season, mid-season, and late. 

 In the vicinity of Washington, D.C., early (marked "e" following the name of the 

 variety) begins about May 2-10 and ends about June 1; early mid-season (marked 

 "e m") begins about June 1 and ends about July 1; mid- sea son (marked "m" ) begins 

 about July 1 and ends about July 2q; and late (marked "1") begins about July 20 

 and may end as late as frost time. In general the mid-season varieties produce 

 the finest flowers. 



Instructions for Ordering and Planting 



We take pride in our list of fine varieties and supplying at a reasonable 

 price, strong, vigorous plants. All our stock is guaranteed true to name. If a 

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

 all orders, except where otherwise noted, of $2.00 or more. Prices for 6 or more 

 of a kind on application. If plants are dug and shipped soon after blooming is 

 over, 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. Daylilies respond to good feeding as well as other flowers. 



New Varieties Introduced by H. P. Traub 



Our stock of the introductions of Dr. H- P- Traub has been sufficiently 

 increased by good culture to justify reducing lest years* prices. These varieties 

 were selected as the best from thousands of seedlings and represent high achieve- 

 ment in daylily breeding. We hope you will soon have the thrill of seeing some 

 of them bloom in your own garden, Most of the varieties listed here were 

 introduced in Florida and have been tested in Maryland.
