wide open petals. Another "must have". 35 ft. May-June ------ e---- $3.00 
OVERTURE (Russell 1943) A small, light red, multiflora type with deep red 
eye zone and green throat. Of all the many hybrids we've gotten from this 
wild species, this one is, to me, surely the loveliest because it has a 
shape unlike any of the others. Sepals and petals twist as do only the 
larger types, such as Wau Run and Emily Hume. Blooms 3 inches. 5 ft.

PURPLE FLASH (Russell 1942) Petals solid purple, sepals yellow, overcast 
purple and a deeper eye zone. It has a shape unlike any I have ever seen 
in that the not-soewide petals open about three-fourths and have a 
decidedly pinched effect at the ends. Sepals somewhat twisted. Admired 
by every visitor to our fields. Defies the hottest sun. 5 ft. April-

PURPLE WATERS (Russell 1942) This is my favorite of all the purples. The 
fiower opens full, slightly reflexed. The petals and sepals are a deep, 
rico purple and the petals are somewhat ruffled. This flower is perfect 
in the evening. The throat is yellow. 3 ft. April-May-June -<----- #$10.00 

QUEEN OF GONZALES (Russell 1942) This is a solid self - the flower is 
about the color of an orange, and the wide overlapping petals open full. 
The petals are reflexed. This is another almost constant bloomer and one 
of the earliest of the large flowering kinds. Perfect in the hot sun. 3 
ft. April-May and again in mid-summer. Does not close at night. -- $2.00

and a yellow midrib with a golden throat. The sepals are lighter in colcr

SPITFIRE (Russell 1942) This Hemerocallis never seems to quit blooming 
here. One set of bloom stems appears as fast as the old set has bloomed

throat. Small blooms but the plant is ablaze with a profusion of blooms 
in early spring and mid-summer. Wide petals; open full. Keeps well. 24
