Dear Sir: | hi 
I have set aside for distribution next spring twelve 
new daylilies in twelve new color patterns; reds, purples, roge 
and bicolors, all in named varieties of my own originations and, 
I am sure, like none you may already possess. These were se- 
lected from more than 100,000 hybrids, the result of many years’ 
selective breeding. Of course, their blooming habits, foliage 
and hardiness were taken into the most careful consideration. 
We now have these in sufficient quantities to distrib- 
ute in several sections of the country that you might better ac- 
quaint yourself with some of our newer originations and at a> 
price you can surely not afford to overlook. 
None of these varieties will appear in my 1944 cata- 
logue, due to their scarcity. Therefore under no circumstances 
can I release more than one complete collection to a single 
client. If you wish to avail yourself of twelve of the loveliest 
daylilies you have ever seen, place your order now so that we 
might put it on file for spring delivery beginning in April. 
Please state plainly the date you wish shipment made. 
None of these twelve will be shipped before April, but all others 
listed in our present catalogue can be sent now or any time you 
wish, I anticipate your order with pride and assure you per- 
sonally the plants will come to you well packed and correctly 
labeled and all of vigorous, blooming size stock. Your order 
will be acknowledged immediately upon receipt. 
Respectfully yours,, 
oO He, . tthe WILL, 
#H, M, Russell 
P.S. I am sending you an excerpt from our newspaper so that you 
might better know just who we are and what we are doing, We are 
proud of what others say about us and our daylilies, - H.M.R.
