OUR NEW 1942 INTRODUCTIONS 
Our 1942 introductions, we believe, will remain among the best in Herner- 
ocallis for many years to come. They were selected as the best from 
thousands of our choicest hybrids after many years of selective breeding. 
Their behavior in the garden and the quality of their foliage and blooming 
habits were ot course taken into the most careful consideration. The earlier 
you plant, the earlier they become established for next season’s bloom. 
Plant now . . . we plant any time the ground is not frozen and with equal 
success. 
ATHLONE (Russell 1942) The petals of this giant bloom are a deep rose 
with a darker rose eye zone. The sepels are canary yellow. The first giant 
bi-color in this particular color pattern I have ever seen to sas well in

contrast. Blooms can take it in the hot sun and hold up well in the evening.

MRS. B. F. BONNER (Russell 1942) Many times have I heard experts say 
that when Hyperian was produced, we may as well quit working to get a 
better pale yellow, but in this hemerocallis we have produced one that is 
far superior, we think, in general respects, its color is that exact shade of 
palest yellow. The bloom holds well long after Hyperian has closed and the 
size is much larger and it bloms quite a bit earlier than Hyperian. The 
foliage is beautiful just as is Hyperian. A most profuse bloomer. May-
