The picture above was made at night several years ago to show the old varieties of Daylilies 
that close at night and those developed by Mr. Russell that remain open. This was the beginning 
of the hybrids that keep open in the evening and are therefore useful as cut flowers. We have 
gone a long way in plant breeding since then. We now have long-lasting varieties in the pleasing 
colors shown on these pages. All the color illustrations in this catalog are made from Eastman’s 
natural color Kodachromes and are pretty much precisely true. 

Many people make the mistake of dividing Daylily clumps when 
they are no larger than that in the photograph shown above. This 
clump has grown one year after being transplanted to a garden; from 
the buds shown here it must have produced fifty to seventy-five blooms 
this first season, but should produce three times that number the next 
year and more each season for quite some time if left completely un- 
disturbed for several years. You simply destroy the beauty of your 
plants when they are divided too often.
