RAJAH 

SELECT LIST OF HYBRID DAYLILIES 
‘This list includes only varieties which are grown in our nursery of 128 acres, includ- 
ing five acres of Daylilies. 
hese varieties have been critically selected as the best varieties from ours and 
Dr. Stout’s large collection of, and acquaintance with, old and new named Daylilies. 
_ No one can go wrong in obtaining every one of the Daylily varieties included in this 
list before trying any others. We have discarded at least 30 once-popular named but 
now outmoded varieties during the past two years; scores during previous years. 
All orders are filled with strong field-grown plants which are returnable at our 
expense if they do not please you when received. They are also guaranteed to grow and 
to be true to name. 
KEY. Months, followmg names, indicate bloom season at Weiser Park, allowing 
about 30 days to a variety. 
Numerals, following months of bloom, indicate height. 
When reference to evening bloom is omitted, our records are not complete or 
else the variety closes by sundown. 
Variations occur according to soil, climate, weather, and age of plants but the 
relative sequence and proportions apply generally. 
Varieties in CAPITALS are 1941 introductions.
