Buckeye Daylily. (Figs. 3 and 11) The 
color pattern in the flowers of this day- 
lily is boldly banded with a broad mid- 
zone in the petals of garnet-brown which 
is in sharp contrast to the clear cadmium- 
yellow (which is a shade of orange) of 
both the throat and the outer part of the 
open flower. Also the color of the throat 
extends or radiates rather prominently 
along the midvein of each petal. There 
is only slight banded coloring in the 
sepals. The flowers are clustered in a 
manner that brings the flowers of the 
different scapes into a somewhat com- 
pact group at nearly the same level. The 
scapes reach a height of 30 inches. In 
winter the foliage is fully dormant. The 
plants flower chiefly in late June. The 
flower coloring resembles that of the 
Mikado Daylily but the season of flower- 
ing is earlier and the habit of growth is 
different. In the ancestral pedigree of 
this plant there are H. flava, H. fulva 
clone Europa, H. aurantiaca, and AH. 
Middendorffu. 
Dominion Daylily. (Fig. 2) This is 
an outstanding daylily for medium-large 
full flowers with rich red coloring in a 
concentric three-toned pattern. Outside 
of a throat that shades into orange the 
sepals and petals are garnet-brown with 
a darker mid-zone that approaches 
maroon in the petals. The foliage is 
semi-evergreen. The scapes rise to 40 
inches, The main season of flowering 
has extended from June 21 until the 
middle of July but there has been a 
second period of less profuse and rather 
irregular bloom which has extended from 
mid-August until severe freezing 
temperatures in November. 
Harlequin Daylily. The blades of the 
petals are rather uniformly red, of a 
shade near to carmine and to English red 
of Ridgeway, and to the vermilion of 
the Garden Dictionary. The throat and 
sepals are golden yellow except for a 
few red streaks in the sepals. Thus the 
pattern is a bicolor in two tones that 
are concentric in the petals. The flowers 
are medium-large (to about 6 inches in 
full spread) with petals rather long and 
recurving. The scapes are nearly 4 feet 
tall. Compared with the Bicolor Daylily 
the red coloring is darker and the shape 
of the flower is quite different. The 
plant has robust stature (about 40 inches) 
and the flowering is mostly in July, but 
may extend into August. 
Hiawatha Daylily. (Fig. 9) The numer- 
ous medium-small flowers (3% inches in 
spread), of the branching, upstanding 
scapes are carried to a height of about 
40 inches. Their color is almost uni- 
formly a golden orange, of a shade be- 
tween orange and  cadmium-yellow 
(Ridgeway) and close to tangerine-orange 
(R.H.S.). At the New York Botanical 
Garden the climax in flowering for this 
daylily has been during the latter half 
of July. The habit of growth is much 
like that of H. multiflora and the group 
of the Summer Multiflora Hybrids, but 
this plant is taller and the flowers are 
somewhat larger, and the period of 
blooming is earlier than for H. mult- 
flora. 
Mignon Daylily. (Fig. 6) This plant 
is rated as the best of the present selec- 
tions for small yellow flowers in a plant 
of rather tall stature and a long period 
of flowering. The precise shade of col- 
oring is very nearly lemon chrome 
(Ridgeway) with a slight change toward 
green in the base of the throat. There 
is some brownish red on the flower buds 
which persists on the sepals of the 
opened flowers. Many of the flowers 
have a spread of only 1 to 1% inches, 
and seldom have flowers measured 2 
inches. They are full and spreading, 
and normally open about dusk and con- 
tinue widely open and in good condition 
throughout the following day until sunset 
or even after dark, depending on the 
weather. On many days there are two 
sets of flowers open for a time in the 
evening. The scapes are much branched 
and slender, but stiffly upstanding to a 
height of 40 inches. The period of 
bloom for well developed plants at the 
New York Botanical Garden has con- 
tinued from mid-June until in August. 
In the group of ramets of this clone in 
the propagations at the Farr Nursery the 
flowering has continued throughout 
August and on into early September. The 
foliage is dormant in winter and the 
plant is fully hardy. 
Monarch Daylily. (Fig. 7) The flowers 
of this daylily have individual character 
and special charm in their form, They 
are full, and while the sepals are recurved, 
the petals are only semi-spreading and 
noticeably incurved near their tips. The 
general coloring is close to light cadmium 
(Ridgeway) or the lemon yellow 4 of
