NINE SOLID ACRES HEMEROCALLIS 
Spring, Texas 
You will find listed here the twelve daylilies I 
am offering now, prior to formal introduction, in greups 
according to their color. I could use a whole sheet in 
describing each variety, but this is not meant to be a 
catalogue. Most of these varieties are still in our 
observation grounds, some not even named yet, still under 
a number; but all will come to you in the spring named, 
correctly labeled and of vigorous, blooming size stock. 
Red Group This consists of three distinct reds; 
a deep mahogany, a brilliant cherry and a real rosy red; I 
believe these will answer your requirements for reds. 
Biecolor Group. There are in this group three 
bi-colors fin patterns such as three petals rose and three 
petals lemon, and combinations in rose and brown, and red 
and yellow. Authorities on daylilies visiting our 
nurseries say they have never seen colors in such combina- 
tions as are in these lovely bi-colors. 
Rose Grou The three varieties here are in shades 
from light rose (called “pink" by many growers) to the 
deepest old rose. If you have never seen dayltites in 
colors such as are in this group, you have a treat coming 
to you. 3 
Purple Group These are the purple, or wine colored 
tones. Each of these are decidedly different shades and 
are simply "must haves", I believe, in anybody's garden. 
You may have one or more of these four groups 
(three plants to a group) for three dollars a group, or a 
broken group consisting of any three plants from any group 
for $3.50, or all four groups (twelve plants) for ten 
dollars. Each shipment will be sent postpaid, 
The plants offered on this page are not to be 
shipped before spring, beginning in April. State plainly 
the approximate date you wish shipment made, that depending 
on your locality and to suit your convenience. Your order 
must be placed with us before February first to assure you 
delivery on these new varieties. We must reserve the right 
to return your money, but immediately upon reveipt of the 
same, if we find we cannot supply all our clients with this 
offer, who order late. Therefore please place your reserva- 
tien as early as possible. 
Remember, daylilies are hardy, fool-proof perennials 
that will grow well in full sun or half shade, wet or dry, 
acid or lime soil, and are all of proven hardiness from 
Mexico to Canada. 
Plant Hemerocallis Daylilies once and have them always
