NEW Daylilies 
in new colors 
WINE - SALMON - RED - BICOLORS 
These Varieties Never Offered Before © Delivery Begins... April 15, 1945 
These twelve new Daylilies that we are now offering prior to their 
formal introduction are listed at less than half our ordinary intro- 
ductory price. We have arranged them in groups according to their 
color; there are three in shades of red, three in shades of salmon, 
three wine, and three bicolor. We could easily devote a long descrip- 
tion to each separate variety, but space prevents that. Most of them 
are still being grown under number in our observation grounds; some 
are not yet named. Vigorous plants, ready to bloom and correctly 
labeled, will be sent to you next spring if you order now.

Please Note: This offer is void after December 15, 1944. Reserve

The plants offered on this page will not be shipped before April 
15, 1945. When ordering, be sure to state plainly the approximate date 
that you wish your shipment to be sent after April 15, 1945. Your 
order must be placed before December 15, 1944, to assure you de- 
livery of these new varieties. If we find that we cannot supply late 
customers with these plants, we reserve the right to return their 
money immediately upon receiving it. Ordering early is your only 
way of making sure your order will be accepted. 
We assure you that your plants will be well packed, correctly 
labeled, and of vigorous, blooming-size stock. Your order will be ac- 
knowledged immediately upon receipt. 
RED GROUP 
This consists of three distinct reds: a deep mahogany, a brilliant 
cherry, and a real rosy red. We believe this will be a popular group. 
BICOLOR GROUP 
In this group are three bicolors in patterns such as three petals 
rose and three petals lemon, and combinations of rose and brown, and 
red and yellow. Daylily connoisseurs visiting our nurseries say they 
have never seen lovelier color combinations than these. 
SALMON GROUP 
Here are three shades from light rose (called pink by many growers) 
to the deepest old rose. If you have never seen Daylilies in such 
colors as these, you have a treat coming to you. 
WINE GROUP 
These are the purple or wine-colored tones. Each is a decidedly 
different shade and a “‘must have” for anyone’s garden.

Russell Gardens > Spring, Texas : x 
\X 7" HAVE set aside for distribution next spring twelve new 
Daylilies in twelve new color patterns—red, wine, salmon, 
and bicolors, all in named varieties of our own origination. 
We are sure they are like none you may already possess.. These were 
selected 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 a sufficient quantity of these new Daylilies to dis- 
tribute in several sections of the country, in order that our customers 
may better acquaint themselves with some of our newer sorts. At the 
prices we list, you cannot afford to overlook them. 
None of these varieties have ever been offered before, and they 
are still so scarce that we have not listed them in our new 24-page 
catalogue in natural color soon to be mailed to you. For this reason 
we cannot allow more than one complete collection to be sent to any 
one person. If you wish to become the proud possessor of twelve of 
the loveliest Daylilies you have ever seen, place your order now. We 
will put it on file and reserve your plants for spring delivery beginning 
April 15, 1945. The orders will be sent out in the rotation in which 
they are received unless you request later shipment. 
Daylilies are becoming more and more popular as the all-purpose 
plant in the home garden. Practically any kind of soil and any loca- 
tion suits them, and they are not troubled by any insects or plant 
diseases. We are proud to offer these new varieties of a truly worth- 
while perennial.
