to a height of 3 feet and are much 
branched. The plants of this clone flower 
during July. 
Port Daylily. (Fig. 4) This is an 
outstanding red-flowered daylily with 
sturdy much branched scapes usually from 
2 to not more than 3 feet tall. The 
flowers are medium small (about 3 inches 
in spread), full, and of a rich sprightly 
red that is near the Brazil-red of Ridge- 
way. The color is slightly darker in 
the mid-zone, which extends somewhat 
into a shallow throat of greenish orange. 
The foliage is coarse and rather upstand- 
ing with the tips extending into the level 
of the flowers. The period of bloom is 
throughout July. The flowers are widely 
open during the hours of daylight but 
close soon after dark. This plant was 
admired by Mrs. J. Norman Henry who 
suggested that it be named Port Daylily 
in memory of her youngest son, Freder- 
ick Porteous Henry. 
Red Bird Daylily. The dominant 
flower coloring of this seedling ap- 
proaches vermilion-red with a somewhat 
deeper shade in the mid-zone. Several 
selections of this particular class for 
color have been under evaluation for 
several years. This is the first of these 
that is now ready for introduction. The 
foliage is evergreen; the scapes stand 
about 3 feet tall; and the season of 
flowering is in July. In the ancestry of 
this plant are H. flava, H. aurantiaca, 
H. fulva clone Europa, and three dif- 
ferent wild plants of H. fulva including 
the Rosalind Daylily. 
Sachem Daylily. (Fig. 1) This plant 
has tall (40 inches), much branched 
scapes. The flower buds are reddish 
brown; the open flowers are of medium 
size (about 4% inches spread), full, and 
the color in the face outside of the 
throat is nearly uniformly dark red of 
a shade between’ garnet-brown and 
maroon of Ridgeway and near the 
carmine of the Garden Dictionary. The 
throat of yellowish orange is in sharp 
contrast to the outer zone of red, Thus 
the pattern is concentric and two-toned. 
The red coloring is near that of the 
Vulcan Daylily but without a midband; 
the shape of the flower and the habit of 
growth are also quite different. The 
flowers hold color and form throughout 
the day even in hot weather, and they 
close after the sun sets. The period of 
bloom is chiefly in July. 
Symphony Daylily. The foliage of this 
plant is fully dormant during the winter 
and the buds are submerged. The scapes 
rise to a height of 44 inches and are well 
branched. The flowers are medium-sized 
(about 4% inches), medium-full and 
widely spreading. They are somewhat 
bicolored: that is, the sepals are almost 
yellow ; the petals are greenish yellow in 
the throat, rose-tinted in the blade, and 
there is a somewhat narrow but notice- 
able mid-band of darker red. The 
various colors are delicately blended. The 
flowers open in the evening and remain 
in excellent condition until about dark 
the following day. The period of flower- 
ing is from the middle of June until the 
middle of July. The general character 
of the flower coloring is similar to that 
of the Linda Daylily; but the coloring is 
more delicate, and also the scapes are 
taller and the season of flowering is 
earlier. 
Triumph Daylily. (Fig. 8) The form 
of the flowers of this daylily is somewhat 
special and individual. The petals are 
broad, strongly recurved, and often some- 
what folded back along the edges 
(“pinched”), but the sepals stand semi- 
erect. The flower is medium-large (5 
inches in spread), and the color is a 
rich orange with a slight fulvous halo 
in the region of the mid-zone. The 
flowers are widely open and in good con- 
dition throughout the day but they close 
promptly at dusk. The coarse scapes rise 
to 40 inches and are well branched. The 
season of bloom is July. 
Yeldrin Daylily. The flowers are 
rather small and full with a spread of 
about 3 inches; the color in the entire 
face is very uniformly yellowish orange, 
close to the empire yellow of Ridgeway ; 
the buds and backs of the sepals are 
noticeably brown-red. The scapes are 
much branched and rise to a height of 40 
inches. The season of bloom has been 
in late July until mid-August. 
Zouave Daylily. At the New York 
Botanical Garden this daylily has been 
in bloom throughout June, with a second 
period of considerable bloom in Septem- 
ber. The flowers have a spread of 
about 3% inches; the color of the petals 
is rich fulvous red with a somewhat 
darker mid-zone; the sepals have less 
color, and hence the general color-pattern 
is somewhat bicolor. The scapes are 
much branched and they rise to a height 
of 40 inches.
