NTO a turbulent world, where clashing ideologies fight 
for mastery, where greed and selfishness and different 
forms of evil seem at times to prevail. The Great Master 
Mind of the Universe has seen fit to scatter seeds of beauty, 
as a sign of hope for the troubled mind and for the befuddle- 
ment of the forces of evil. For the beauty of the noonday 
sky, of the evening sunset, of the mountains and the valley 
and the stream, the beauty of flowers and of beautiful 
thoughts and actions all assure us that the thing of beauty 
will always live, and that the hideous, the ugly, the dis- 
tasteful will eventually die of its own poison. For it is the 
thing of beauty that will always have the strongest appeal, 
that will be held in a tight grasp and the unpleasant thing 
that will be discarded. It is a law of life, which may some- 
times seem to be set aside for a time, but which will always 
hold good—forever. 
So, despite the turmoil that is all about, let us continue 
to cultivate the beautiful things of life. And among other 
things let us enjoy nature’s loveliness, enhanced by the 
horticultural skill of the world’s famous hybridizers, who 
are constantly striving and succeeding in making lovely 
flowers more beautiful. For flowers were created to direct our thoughts 
to the beauties of the world and many have found the garden a pana- 
cea for many ills. 
NEW HYBRID DAYLILIES OF GREAT BEAUTY 
Nothing will help more to realize the “Garden Beautiful’ than the 
superb new Daylilies offered here, some of them for the first time. 
Many of the finest new varieties here offered were only recently re- 
leased by their originator, Dr. A. B. Stout, of the New York Botanical 
Gardens. These include new forms and types not heretofore appearing 
in Daylilies, the result of hand pollenizing, crossing and growing some 
60,000 plants. A few of my own introduction, which are superlatively 
handsome, are also now offered for the first time, but as I have only a 
few plants of each, the prices of these 1941 introductions are relatively 
high. In addition to the strikingly beautiful new hybrids in this col- 
lection, two of the most worthy older stand-bys from Grandmother’s 
garden are also included. Hemerocallis Flava, named and described 
by the great Linneaus, almost two centuries ago, and commonly 
Payments may be made by check, money order, cash, or 
stamps, which should be sent along with the order. If cash or 
stamps are sent the letter should be registered. I do not make 
C. O. D. shipments, as I have never found the practice satisfac- 
tory either to the customer or myself. All shipments will be sent 
express and everything in this folder will be sent either from 
Bayside or from my nursery in New Jersey, the small express 
charge to be paid by the purchaser on receipt of the package.

called the ‘“‘Lemon Lily,” as well as the Fulva, the fulvous or Tawny 
Daylily are included in this list because they have stood the test of 
time and are worthy of a place in the finest garden. 
AS HANDSOME AS THE FINEST LILIES 
Modern Daylilies are as beautiful as the finest Lilies, bloom in the 
greatest profusion, and are of the easiest possible culture. Each plant 
produces a constant succession of bloom over a period of several weeks 
and once planted they soon establish themselves as a permanent 
fixture in the garden. Many of them are delightfully fragrant. There 
are tall ones, as much as five feet tall for the back of the border, 
running through different intermediate heights down to the miniature 
types for the rock garden. Plant these gorgeous Daylilies freely in 
your border, along walks, or in any spot that you wish to brighten up. 
HARDY, ADAPTABLE, EASILY GROWN 
Few plants can match the Daylilies for vigor, hardiness and adapt- 
ability to all sorts of soil and location. They may be planted in full 
sun or partial shade and in any ordinary garden soil. While they thrive 
in a wet location and are especially attractive along the edge of a 
brook or pond, they will produce equally good results in a rather dry 
location. They seem to be entirely free from diseases and I have never 
known them to be attacked by any kind of insect pests. 
I have included in this folder a few of the choicest and hardiest of 
the True Lilies; also a choice novelty, the new Painted Daisies, each 
plant of which is grown from root divisions of the original plant and 
is therefore absolutely true to type.
