Dear Sir: 
Among the next daylilies I expect to introduce in the 
near future I have selected seventeen of the most outstanding 
varieties such as have never before been seen in daylilies, 
to offer my clients now in the several sections of our 
country prior to listing them in my catalogue. 
These seventeen varieties, found on the following pages, 
were selected from more than 100,000 hybrids, the result of 
many years' selective breeding. They will cover about the 
entire color range. Until this past season I have never in- 
troduced a daylily for less than two dollars and up to twenty 
dollars a plant, but I am going to offer you any seven that 
you select from this list for six dollars, or the entire col- 
lection of seventeen for twelve dollars post paid. I don't 
believe you will find any better, more beautiful in America. 
They will be strong, vigorous plants and if planted now, yes, 
even in the hottest summer, they will give you well estab- 
lished clumps for next season's bloom, and what a garden you 
will have for just a few dollars! I would like to have you 
become better acquainted with what I have to offer in day- 
lilies and I know of no better way to do this. Texas grown 
daylilies are proven hardy from Maine to California. 
The blooming habits of these varieties, as well as the 
keeping quality of the bloom, were, of course, taken into the 
most careful consideration. This offer is good only for 30 
days, as this is the season of the year when we are trans- 
planting our fields, and while we are doing this we can fill 
your order much more easily and cheaply than otherwise. No 
order for these varieties will be accepted after 30 days from 
this date except at our prevailing catalogue prices. Under 
no circumstances will we send more than one plant of each 
variety of these new ones to a single client. If you wish to 
take advantage of this offer, but are not ready to plant at 
this time, you may send your order now and the plants will be 
reserved for you until you want delivery. 
Very truly yours, 
Plant Hemerocallis Daylilies once and have them always
