RUSSELL INTRODUCTIONS 1942 AND 1943 
The stock of all our introductions of 1942 and 1943 is about ex- 
hausted. While these are all glorious introductions and will remain a- 
mong the best in Daylilies for many years to come, I can't say that I 
would rather have any of these than I would the 1944 introductions I am 
offering you here on Page 3 and at a much lower price, because we have a 
much larger stock. 1942 and 1943 varieties are priced higher simply be- 
cause they are extremely scarce now. 
ANNIS VICTORIA RUSSELL (Russell 1942) One of the most beautiful Daylilies 
in my entire field. Blooms are 7 to 9 inches across, as many as 30 buds 
to a stem. Dark green crinkled foliage, evergreen. Color exactly canary 
yellow. This is my choice of all the ‘yellow Daylilies. 4 ft. Blooms in 
mid-April and again in June --------------------------+------------ e200 
BELL OF GEORGIA (Russell 1943) This is a lovely rounded 4 to 5 inch pale 
yellow bloom, overcast with the color and markings exactly like that of 
a ripe peach. I've never séen any Daylily with such color pattern as 
this, 3S ft. April-May Ie Pig terra ores se heme fore Steer sn) Seek We evar raze > el oma mer Se nr age Lee enemenal ae ovr) Oe RES) may Va Fen] ee $3.00 
BLACK PRINCE (Russell 1942) Looking for a real dark red? Here's one that 
is almost black and one that will stand the hottest sun. Keeps well in 
evenings. The petals and sepals are an even color with a slightly darker 
eye zone. The throat has a smaller yellow cup. The petals and sepals are 
wide and open full, slightly reflexed. Velvet finish. Real life in this. 
35 ft. April-May and again in mid-summer ------------------------- $10.00 
CRYSTAL FAIRY (Russell 1943) A light salmon-pink. Medium size blooms, but 
one of the most beautiful crystal pinks I've ever seen. A most profuse 
bloomer. 3 ft. April-May ------------------------- eee e ee eee ene $3.00 
EVANGELINE (Russell 1943) Petals rosy red, almost wine color, with a deep 
purple eyes The sepals just a bit lighter in color and decidedly twisted. 
The throat is absolutely green. This Daylily looks quite a bit like an 
orchid in color and shape, and unlike any I have seen. 6 inches, 2% ft.

INDIANOLA (Russell 1943) A deep red Daylily with a yellow throat. Blooms 
for threé solid months here. I'd surely want this one in my garden. A 
fast grower. 33 inch blooms. 4 ft. May-June-July ----------------- #2.00 
JUAREZ (Russell 1943) A vivid, most brilliant Daylily. The petals are 
red; sepals yellow slightly overcast cardinal. While the flowers are not 
so large, the profusion of its blooms more than makes up for that. In- 
creases fast. 3 ft. April-May-June -----------~----~- eee ee eee $2.00 
MRS. B. F. BONNER (Russell 1942) Many times when Hyperian was produced 
experts said we may as well quit working to get a better pale yellow, but 
in this Daylily we have produced one that is far superior 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. It 
also blooms quite a bit earlier than Hyperian. The foliage is beautiful. 
Blooms profusely. May-June ------------------------+----------- +++ $10.00 
NOSIESTA (Russell 1943) This Hemerocallis is aptly named since it seems 
never to quit blooming in our fields. It really has two distinct blooming 
seasons here; March and April and again in mid-summer. The color is a 
light chrome. This plant is a very fast grower and a most unusual flower 
in every respect. Blooms 6 inches and opens full. 32 fin iene ss #1.00 
OLD PAINT (Russell 1942) This is a fine Daylily; blooms are not so large 
but many of them. The petals are mahogany red with an almost black eye 
ZONE. Peas are deep yellow overcast mahogany. Throat is yellow. Grows 
very fast. 5 ft. April-May ----- Tre ee ee me ee ree eee eee ee ene 45.00
