On my visits to Newport, home of millionaires, | have noticed that 
the Daylily is a feature of many of the showplaces of this marvelous 
community, where magnificent gardens and estates are the rule. And 
it is natural that they should be, as there is no flower that produces a 
more marvelous display. For the small garden or large estate they are 
equally appropriate and they are so hardy that, when once planted, 
they need practically no care. They do equally well in the semi-tropical 
temperatures of Florida and California, or in temperatures of 25 to 30 
degrees below zero in our northern states. They will naturalize them- 
selves in the woodland, or in a wild garden, and take care of themselves 
when once planted. 
& “TREASURE CHEST”? COLLECTION $2.50 
VARIETIES UNLABELED 
In each case each variety will be different and all will be fine 
strong flowering size plants. I will give personal attention to the 
selection of the varieties to give the longest flowering season 
and best color range and will include varieties that flower from 
May to September.
