Afterglow Daylily. The flowers of this 
daylily are of medium-large size and they 
have a most unusual coloring for day- 
lilies. The general tone is near capucine 
yellow: a sort of pale buff and pastel 
shade which extends well into the throat, 
where there is a delicate but definite rosy 
or pink tint which is slightly more pro- 
nounced along the midvein of the petals. 
The scapes rise to a height of 44 inches, 
and there are as many as 15 flowers in 
the two or three flowering branches that 
form an inflorescence. The period of 
flowering has extended from early July 
until August 12. 
Aladdin Daylily. (Cover photograph) In 
the flowers, which have a spread of about 
4 inches, there is a broad conspicuous mid- 
zone of garnet-brown in each petal and 
a lesser one in each sepal; the outer half 
of the face of the flower is golden cad- 
mium with tinges of red-fulvous which 
are slightly stronger in the sepals. Thus 
the pattern is strongly banded but dif- 
ferent in tones from both the Mikado and 
Buckeye Daylilies. The scapes rise to 45 
inches and are rather short-branching 
with flowers somewhat clustered. The 
season of bloom is mostly in late June. 
The plant is nearly evergreen but suffers 
only slightly from winter injury. 
Autumn Prince Daylily. The flowers 
are clear light yellow in color (a self- 
pattern) and of medium-small size. The 
season of flowering is in late summer 
and autumn (from early August on into 
early October). The scapes are stiffly 
erect, tall (to 42 inches), and much 
branched. The foliage is fully dormant 
in winter when the buds are submerged. 
Baronet Daylily. A concentric and 
sharply contrasted two-toned pattern 
marks this flower; there is an orange 
throat outside of which both the sepals 
and petals are a sprightly fulvous red of 
the shade near Brazil red (Ridgeway). 
The petals are wide, semi-rounded, and 
recurving and the flower is full. The 
much branched scapes rise to a height of 
28 inches and are scarcely taller than the 
foliage. The season of flowering is June. 
Bertrand Farr Daylily. The flowers 
are of medium size and full with all 
petals and sepals gracefully recurved. The 
throat of the flower is pale orange out- 
side of which the coloring is near grena- 
dine pink (Ridgeway) or salmon red 
(between numbers 13-2 and 13-3 of the 
R.H.S. charts) but with darker red 
coloring in the veins. The scapes are 
well branched but only about 30 inches 
tall. In well grown plants the flowers 
are numerous and somewhat massed at 
a low level in a way that attracts atten- 
tion. The period of flowering is in July. 
The propagations of this plant under 
selection, at thé nurseries of the Harr 
company have been much admired by 
members of that firm and by various 
visitors, This seedling is one of numer- 
ous individuals obtained by cross-breed- 
ing the Patricia with the Charmaine 
Daylily. 
Bicolor Daylily. (Fig. 10) Two colors 
with radial distribution enter into the 
pattern of the open flowers of this day- 
lily. The sepals and throat and a stripe 
extending out along the midrib of each 
petal are yellowish orange; the petals 
outside of the throat and the stripe are 
of a pale fulvous red tinged with rose. 
The flower is full and somewhat cup- 
shaped with noticeably rounded petals. 
The scapes rise to about 40 inches and 
are well branched. The season of bloom 
has been chiefly in July and August. 
Brunette Daylily. (Fig. 5) Of the 
selections named at the New York 
Botanical Garden this is the first which 
has a decidedly and general chocolate 
shade of coloring. A discarded seedling 
of our earlier selections, which was after- 
wards named Brownie Daylily, is some- 
what of the same class but is much less 
strongly colored. The throat of the 
Brunette Daylily is yellowish orange; 
there is a large mid-zone of a shade near 
madder brown outside of which the 
blade is a lighter shade of tan-red or 
brownish red. The pattern is hence 
concentric and is three-toned and banded. 
The period of bloom is early, beginning 
about June 1. The flowers are medium- 
small (about 344 inches in spread), 
medium-full, and widely open. The 
scapes are much branched and _ usually 
stand only from 24 to not more than 
30 inches tall. 
This plant is a complex hybrid with 
an ancestry that includes AH. flava, H. 
fulva clone Europa, H. aurantiaca, and 
H. Middenforffu. Also in the ancestry 
are six different seedlings some of which 
are selections for early flowering, semi- 
dwarf stature, and dark flower coloring.
