~HEMEROCALLIS — NEW DAYLILIES 
“The perennial supreme.” These magnificent new forms of an old garden favorite 
begin to bloom with the early iris and cover the season into September and later. They 
are hardy, easy to grow in any good garden soil, sure to bloom, ALWAYS a success. 
Do well in either full sun or partial shade. The foliage is attractive throughout the 
season. The most weatherproof perennial. The roots should be planted only slightly 
deeper than before. 
Many of the following list are Betscher hybrids, our stock of which was obtained 
direct from Mr. Betscher. These hybrids are some of the largest flowered and finest 
Hemerocallis yet produced. Also we have many of the commercially released recent cre- 
ations of Dr. Stout, of the New York Botanical garden, but most of them in too small 
quantity to permit of offering for sale this season. Home gardeners everywhere will 
demand them in quantity as soon as they become acquainted with them. 
Our more than 150 varieties include many new sorts, such as Autumn Prince, 
Aztec Gold, B. H. Farr, Brunette, Elizabeth Pike, Fulva Rosea, Fulva R. Rosalind, 
Gaiety, Giantess, B. G. Huse, Crystal Pink, Dorothy McDade, Golden Sceptre, Hes- 
perus, Judge Orr, Mars, Meg, Mona, Star of Gold, Triumph and Vulcan. 
CRAEMORE HENNA (Plouf-Ashley: 1939-’40)—36”. July. One of the 
brightest of all Daylilies. Flowers of brilliant henna with a ruby iridescence. 
Deep orange throat. Excellent as to size, form and texture, unfading. Sepals 
are a solid bright henna with neither midrib nor eye-zone; petals are a deep 
orange heavily flushed henna. Wide-open, funnel-shaped flowers, full and 
well recurved. Flowers have a heavy, velvety oil-skin texture. Plant is 
clean of habit with good foliage in a compact clump. Unusually fine for a 
specimen plant. Cut flowers remain well open until late at night, buds all 
opening in succession. A strictly new and distinct Hemerocallis. Each $10.00 
CRAEMORE RUBY (Plouf, 1938)—36”. July. Full, 5” intensely red blooms 
that hold well their color and form. Throat yellow-green, blending to deep 
ruby-red covering inner segments, darker veins. Outer segments slightly 
lighter, broad with embossed edges and no midrib. Tips of outer segments 
twist slightly and evenly, pin-wheel fashion. Perfectly formed, widely open 
flowers. Deep ruby reverse of inner segments. In broader segments, form 
and color, it differs from the Fulva rosea group. Heavy substance and tex- 
ture like velvet. Each
