direct from Mr. Betscher. These hybrids are some of the largest flowered and finest 
Hemerocallis yet produced. Also we have many 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.

Crepe, Elizabeth Pike, Fulva Rosea, Fulva R. Rosalind, B. G. Huse, Crystal Pink,

and Vulcan.
