FIRE FLAME 38-213 (Nesmith 1944) Like a flaming sunset, this 
brilliant red orange is one of the most showy hemerocallis in the 
garden. It is a self with large full flowers of open form and vel- 
vety finish. 30 or more clustered blooms on tall highly branched 
stalks. Rich and colorful as the golden flame of burning wood.

GOLDEN GRAIN 38-365 (Nesmith 1944) All golden yellow, 
reminding one of a field of ripened grain swaying in the wind, 
these large lily like blooms are most effective in the garden. Tall 
with full ruffled flowers of strong firm texture, and exceptionally 
good branching, this hemerocallis always attracts attention. We 
need more of these better yellows in our gardens. July-August.

HER GRACE 41-62 (Nesmith 1944 A pacrician flower of palest’ 
yellow with large open blooms of heavy firm substance, lightly 
ruffled. According to Ridgway the nearest color is Martius yellow 
which is very light. Medium to tall in height, the profusion of 
bloom, and strong sturdy stalks make this a great favorite with 
garden visitors. July-August. 38 in. $8.00 
KILLARNEY LASS 39-121 (Nesmith 1944) Captivating and 
charming, this open, flaring pink gives a very bright pink effect in 
the garden and is delightful for flower arrangement. The center 
of the petals is bright geranium pink, (Ridgway) completely bor- 
dered by soft flesh pink. The sepals are flesh pink lightly flushed 
with a deeper tone. The darker pink of the petals is just about the 
shade of the old time pink Killarney rose. A very lovely hemero- 
callis. August. 40 in. $10.00 
RUDDY RED 40-33 (Nesmith 1944) This hemerocallis is well 
described by the name for it has depth of color yet gives a glow- 
ing red effect. The petals of Vandyke red are recurving and 
smoothly finished. The sepals have a maize yellow background 
heavily flushed with red. The stalks are well branched and cf me- 
dium height. July. 38 in. $8.00 
STARFISH 40-212 (Nesmith 1944) A very open flaring bicolor 
with a fine narrow fluting: on both petals and sepals. The petals 
are Corinthian red, the sepals have a fawn undercolor touched with 
the same red. J have watched this hemerocallis for several years, 
always attracted by its unusual color and form. Last season, Mr. 
Harold I. Johnson of San Francisco, Calif. came to see the hemer- 
ocallis, and he too was attracted by it, and thought it should be 
introduced. So I suggested he name it, aiter a bit of thought he 
FAIRMOUNT GARDENS 
said “why not call it Starfish on account of the very flaring form 
and irregular contour,” hence the name. Tall and very floriferous 
with 25 to 30 flowers on each well branched stalk. Long season 
of bloom. July-August. 40 in. $5.00 
THE SULTAN 39-185 (Nesmith 1944) A very dark sturdy red 
with a deep gold throat. The nearest color in Ridgway is burnt 
lake, but the flat finish in the cclor chart gives no idea of the depth 
of color and velvety finish of this deep mahogany-red. A self with 
broad compact petals and sepals, and exceilent branching. July- 
August. 40 in. $15.00 
TRACERY 39-70 (Nesmith 1944) A very full broad petaled 
flower of pale Chalcedony yellow with a delicate lace like tracery 
of salmon buff in the center of the open cup shaped bloom. Lovely 
and delicate in color, but with exceptionaily firm substance, and 
sturdy well branched stalks, this hemerocallis always attracts visi- 
tors, especially those wishing those delicate colors for their gar- 
dens. August. 40 in. $8.00 
TWILIGHT 41-0 (Nesmith 1944) I have had many inquiries for 
more pale yellow evening flowering hemerocallis, so from several 
selected seedlings I have chosen this one for introduction. It is a 
very pale yellow (Massicot yellow) with full open flowers well 
spaced on tall amply branched stalks. The flowers open late in 
the afternoon, and remain in good condition well through the next 
day. Lovely for evening in the house. August. 40 in. $5.00 
FAIRMOUNT PINK SERIES For several years hemerocallis 
enthusiasts have said what a pity it was for me to destroy so many 
seedlings that are lovely and would be a great boon to garden 
minded persons that were looking for color effect in their gardens, 
yet did not feel they wished to purchase the more expensive named ~ 
varieties. These hemerocalliis fans begged me to put out a col- 
lection of seedlings in varying shades of pink and rose. Last year, 
I listed such a group and it was so successful and satisfactory to 
my clients, that I am repeating it this year with another series of 
pink seedlings, most of them different from those sent out las sea- 
son. They range in color from pale salmon to deep rose, and are 
seedlings that will not be named, yet they are very lovely. Many of 
them are similar to named varieties, and will give a charming effect 
in the garden. These will not be sold to dealers as they are. es- 
sentially for private gardens where one wishes to have bloom 
through July and August.
