HEMEROCALLIS 
(DAY-LILY) 
NEW AND RARE HYBRIDS 
These decorative peren 
nials are rapidly growing in 
favor and well deserve their 
popularity. The flowers 
are wonderfully beautiful, 
many of them fragrant; the 
colors range through all the 
shades of yellow, from the 
palest lemon to a deep 
tawny reddish orange. 
There are tall varieties as 
well as low-growing ones, 
and, if carefully chosen, a 
succession of bloom may be 
had from early April 
through August.

Interest in Day-Lilies has increased greatly with the introduction of many new hybrids. We are offering a 
limited number of these relatively more expensive varieties which have been created and introduced by Dr. Stout 
of the New York Botanic Gardens, Mr. Charles Betscher, The Farr Nursery Company, and other hybridizers. 
Apricot. (Yeld.) According to Dr. Stout, 
Apricot is the first hybrid of which there is 
any record. It is semi-dwarf with slightly 
fragrant, wide-open flowers of rich deep 
yellow, and is one of the most distinctive 
of the early-flowering sorts. 25 cts. each. 
Aureole. Believed to be of Japanese origin, 
this tall, evergreen Day-Lily blooms in 
midseason after the best of the early varie¬ 
ties are over. The full wide-spreading flow¬ 
ers are a rich cadmium-yellow with occa¬ 
sionally a trace of fulvous coloring. 
25 cts. each. 
Cinnabar. (Stout.) Of medium height and 
blooming from May through July, this 
unusual Day-Lily bears numerous blossoms 
of rich rosy brown, centered with throats 
of glistening yellow. The petals are well 
separated, recurving, and often slightly 
fluted. $1.75 each. 
Cressida. (Betscher.) This very striking 
variety is midseason and of medium height. 
The flowers are large and handsome, of a 
deep reddish orange, showing a band of 
fulvous coloring on the inside of the flower, 
coming to a point on each petal. This is 
like the imprint of a crown on the open 
flower and is very lovely. $1.25 each. 
J. A. Crawford. (Betscher.) Very tall 
bloom-stalks with handsome, wide-open 
flowers of a beautiful shade of light yellow, 
deepening in the throat. The petals have a 
prominent midrib, are recurved, and some¬ 
times show a twist at the end. A very 
Strong grower with a long blooming period 
beginning in May. 75 cts. each. 
Goldeni. (Betscher.) A bushy sort with 
heavy foliage and beautiful, smooth, deep 
orange flowers on short stems. Midseason. 
75 cts. each. 
Lemon King. (Betscher.) One of the best 
of the pale yellow hybrids. The fluted, 
wax-like petals have a decided midrib. 
Stalks are rather tall and the flowers open 
in midseason. 75 cts. each. 
Margaret Perry. (Perry.) A very strong 
grower, multiplying rapidly and blooming 
profusely late in the season. The petals 
are pointed and widely separated, giving 
the flower a star-like appearance. Throat 
is a clear yellow, and this color extending 
along each midrib makes a sharp color 
division on each petal. Many growers de¬ 
scribe the general color as buff-orange, but 
with us it is a decided coppery rose. $1.50 
each. 
Mikado. (Stout.) This beautiful and popu¬ 
lar hybrid is of medium height and an excel¬ 
lent habit of growth. The flower is one of 
sharp contrasts, the general color being a 
rich yellow with a blotch of purplish red in 
the middle of each petal. This is bisected 
by a stripe of the same color as the blade. 
The flowers, opening in early May, are 
large, with widely spreading, recurving 
segments. $2.00 each. 
Modesty. (Betscher.) Tall-growing, bloom¬ 
ing in May, the cup-shaped flowers are 
delightfully fragrant and of a delicate 
waxen texture. The reflexed petals of pale 
lemon-yellow have a prominent midrib. 
$1.00 each. 
Ophir. (Farr.) Very tall-growing, with long 
stems which bear great clusters of beautiful 
golden trumpets. The flowers are of heavy 
texture, lasting, and of a uniform waxen 
yellow. A long blooming period extends 
through May, June, and July. This lovely 
Gold of Ophir Day-Lily received the 
Award of Merit from the Royal Horti¬ 
cultural Society in 1931. $1.50 each. 
Sir Michael Foster. (Muller.) Strong¬ 
growing with tall flower-stems, bearing 
long, sweet-scented, funnel-shaped flowers 
which are spreading but not strongly 
reflexed. The clear yellow inner petals are 
large and undulated, while the sepals are 
smooth and of a deeper yellow. This va¬ 
riety is one of the most satisfactory, the 
first blooms appearing in May and con¬ 
tinuing throughout the summer. $1 each. 
' . 
Wau-Bun. (Stout.) This very lovely and 
unusual Day-Lily, while not new, is hard 
to obtain, the stock having been entirely 
sold out by many growers. The plant is 
semi-dwarf with evergreen foliage. It is a 
midseason bloomer, and the name is an 
Indian one, meaning early morn with its 
rising sun. The flowers are large, with 
broad and stiffly recurving sepals. The 
petals are broad and spreading, the outer 
half being folded backward along the 
midrib. There is a decided twist at the 
end of the petals which gives the flower of 
light cadmium-yellow a distinctively indi¬ 
vidual appearance. $2.50 each. 
The above Hybrids are sold only as single roots 
and not in clumps
