AYLILIES, beloved of our grandmothers—and_ of 
their grandmothers too—are beautiful, austere, and 
stately examples of the immortal lilies of ancient history, 
tradition, legend, art, and poetry. Always we have been 
bidden to consider the lilies, and always to consider them 
in their immaculate purity. And in the modern hybrid 
Daylilies there are varieties of many shades and colors, 
departing from the original waxen whiteness; yet even in 
the warmer hues, with rosy and ruddy and golden effects, 
there is still inherent simplicity and innocence. 
In the old cottage gardens and on the farms, the summer 
visits of the Daylilies were comparatively brief. The old 
folks and the young wives and the children cultivated and 
watered and weeded the gardens about the plants, and 
watched anxiously for buds and opening blooms, but the 
cherished beauties came and tarried but a little while, and 
then were gone for another year. Now, however, our 
splendid collections of many modern varieties of these old 
favorites afford us a succession of lavish and lovely displays. 
For example, the exquisite and expansive ‘‘Hyperion”’ 
finest of all modern Daylilies, in lemon yellow, and ex- 
quisitely fragrant, remains with us through July and August; while 
the very fine fragrant variety ‘“Dr. Regel” arrives in May and stays 
till the middle of June. The orange and mahogany “Mikado,” flames 
through June and July, and then sometimes astonishes you by con- 
tinuing through August, September, and even part of October. 
NEW AND DISTINGUISHED HYBRIDS 
NOW AVAILABLE 
Many of the sensational new and unusual varieties listed here have 
been released quite recently by their world-famed originator, Dr. A. B. 
Stout, of the New York Botanical Gardens. Others, also worthy of 
remark, and already acclaimed for their novelty and beauty, are my 
own introductions; in offering some of them for the first time, I am 
obliged to set high prices on them, because of the limited number of 
plants of each variety ready for distribution. 
There are also superb and beloved old favorites here, however, and 
one is Hemerocallis Flava, described and named by the great master 
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. 

(HE E OCALLIS) 

Linnaeus himself, long before the American Revolution, and known 
today in some old gardens as the ‘‘Lemon Lily.’ Another ancient and 
cherished one is Hemerocallis Fulva, the tawny Daylily that blooms 
on a sturdy 54-inch stalk; and there are other veterans for those who 
ralue the tried and true along with the more"modern marvels. 
NO FINER LILIES GROW OR BLOOM 
Few plants of any sort can match these Daylilies in any situation, 
for vigor, ruggedness, and adaptability to any or all sorts of soil or 
conditions. Full sun, or partial shade, wherever there is just ordinary 
garden soil, will secure for you a full summer of beauty from your 
Daylily collection; and once the planting is done, your Daylily garden 
is established virtually forever, or as long as that garden may remain 
undistrubed by the march of progress or urban growth. 
The variety of form is astonishing, and you will find gorgeous 
blooms on five-foot stems as well as the daintier Miniatures for your 
rock garden or the border. Many of the varieties are delicately or pun- 
gently fragrant, and all of them are beautiful in their various ways, 
and surprisingly free from diseases and susceptibility to insect pests. 
Here in this folder, along with the beloved Daylilies, I have offered 
also a few of the best of the True Lilies, to delight all those who are 
especially fond of such precious traditional treasures. I would also 
invite your attention to my personal selections of the most superb 
Painted Daisies.
