"Ring out ye golden bells"l For all summer long, from late May until September, 
we may now have the new Day Lilies in our gardens;- the orchestra to accompany the 
garden pictures. Tell us, as you ring, how your gold and yellow and fulvous tones 
will add joyous colors to our borders; how the grace of your form will lend happy 
accents; and how easily you adapt yourselves to almost any location. And, if our 
ears are attuned, we may hear a rollicking chorus played by your chimes, with the 
pale yellows giving us the upper, silvery notes, the golden varieties delighting us 
thro' the middle register, while the darker ones fill in with the base. 
All the older gardens had the Hemerocallis Flava and Fulva; all present-day gar¬ 
dens should have at least one or two of the newer varieties. It is a pleasure to be 
able to recommend them so heartily,their colors are so fine and they are so easy to 
grow. Planting directions will be found elsewhere. 
We are delighted to be able to offer the eight new varieties that Dr. Stout has 
originated, and while we have not seen them in bloom,we know that the originator is 
very particular about his Introductions. Our stock is so limited,that we shall have 
only one or two of each to offer this sea 
AMARYLLIS (Betscher) A large fine golden 
orange with recurving petals and heavi¬ 
ly ridged sepals. The shape suggests 
the flower for which it was named.3 ft. 
July-Aug. fl.OO 
ANNA BETSCHER (Betscher) We'll ’’betcha" 
that Anna's one of the best of the deep 
orange-yellows, shaded with reddish- 
bronze. A large flower that is in great 
demand. 3 ft. July-Aug. fl.50 
APRICOT (Yeld) Prettier than the fruit, 
sweeter than the taste,our little early 
Apricot is a gem. "Oh no," says Bill 
"it's a Hem'." A bright and cheerful 
early mass of low-growing orange. 2 ft. 
May-June. $0.50 
AURANTIACA MAJOR. The name may not linger 
in your memory, but after you have once 
seen this orange mass, you will never 
forget it, and you will understand why 
it was given a major's commission. The 
substance is heavy and leathery, we 
think the flower is very fine. 24 ft. 
July. $1.00 
BAGDAD (Stout '35) Picture rich colors in 
Bagdad! Full wide-open flowers on tall 
stems. Both petals and sepals recurve, 
the petals are bright red over orange, 
with veinings and midrib of madder- 
brown; the sepals are paler; the throat 
is clear orange. 42". June-July. $3.00 
on. 
BARDELAY (Perry) A bright fusion of col¬ 
ors - almost a Turner sunset! Reddish 
orange, deep yellow copper, and apricot 
blend together into a glorious flower. 
4 ft. July-Aug. $4.00 
BAY STATE (Detacher) V.here would New Eng¬ 
land be without Bay State! Altho' not 
new, it is still outstanding because of 
its fine glistening deep yellow color 
and its husky increase. 3^ ft.July-Aug. 
$ 1.00 
BIJOU (stout '35) A new and distinct- de¬ 
velopment in the day lilies, in the low 
growing multiflora type. Indeed, a pre¬ 
cious little gem with the ground color 
of orange,clear in the throat but over¬ 
cast with fulvous red over the rest of 
the bloom, and with a darker mid-zone. 
2 ft. July. $3.00 
CALYPSO (Burbank) If a hero of old fell 
into her snares,how can we be blamed if 
we also admire and love her! The flow¬ 
ers are very large and of an exquisite 
clear lemon-yellow. This ranks high in 
our estimations. 34 ft. July-Aug. 
$0.75 
CINNABAR (Stout) The name seems to fit 
the color, which is brov.-r.lsh-red, with 
a yellow throat. The ’'ecurvlng petals 
have the outer half sprinkled with rose 
brown. 24 ft. July-Aug. $2.00
