HEMEROCALLIS — NEW DAYLILIES 
“The perennial supreme.” These magnificent new forms of an old garden favorite 
begin to bloom with the early iris and cover the season into September or later. They 
are hardy, easy to grow in any good garden soil, sure to bloom, ALWAYS a success. 
Do well in either full sun or partial shade. The foliage is attractive throughout the 
season. The most weatherproof perennial. The roots should be planted only slightly 
deeper than before. 
Many of the following list are Betscher hybrids, our stock of which was obtained 
direct from Mr. Betscher. These hybrids are some of the largest flowered and finest 
Hemerocallis yet produced. Also we have all of the commercially released recent cre¬ 
ations of Dr. Stout, of the New York Botanical garden, but most of them in too small 
quantity to permit of offering for sale this season. Home gardeners everywhere will 
demand them in quantity as soon as they become acquainted with them, on the basis of 
merit alone. 
Our 150 varieties include more than 40 mostly new sorts not listed this season, 
such as Araby, Aztec Gold, Boutonniere, Circe, Fulva Rosea, Gloriana, Hankow, 
'Harvest Moon, Mary Stoker, May Sadler, Olive, Polyanna, Rajah, Rosalind, Rose 
Queen, Saturn, Sirius, Vulcan, and Wolof. 
“Our Japanese Peonies from you were lovely plants, so strong and fresh. We
