NEW HUGE LEMONS AND GOLDS—4 SUPERB VARIETIES 
Many prefer pale lemons and jonquil yellows in the huge newer wide petaled types, 
but the scarcity of the stock of these finer yellows and golds has been so that we’ve 
had to put our prices almost prohibitive in the past. But now I am listing below four 
varieties that have been fairly profuse multipliers and I am able to offer, during the next 
thirty days, this entire lot at a price less than we asked in our 1945 catalogue for one 
of them. Many people have so many yellows and golds of the older less expensive varie- 
ties they did not feel justified in paying a price of from ten to twenty times more for 
one of these new ones, as they’ve had to do in the past, they wonder if there’s enough 
difference in the loveliness of these. I say there is, and when you put out a real Daylily 
once, you’ve got something that will stay always and something that’s really worth hav- 
ing. This will be your last opportunity for a long long time to acquire these four varieties 
at such a price. You’l] know what real lemon and gold Daylilies are when you see these. 
All will come to you in excellent blooming size plants and you may have all four, an 
$11.00 catalogue value, for $5.00, if ordered within thirty days. Ifyou cannot plant now, 
place your order now and the plants will be reserved for you until your planting season. 
State plainly when you want shipment made. Only one collection of the above can be 
sent to a single client. 
JOY RUSSELL: This tall Daylily, paler than a lemon, with its five-inch bloom of per- 
fect texture opens full. Its petals are wide and fairly glistens in the sun. Quite the 
loveliest thing we grow in this color and simply breath-taking in bloom in the peren- 
nial border. Height 5 feet. Blooms in April, May and June. List price, three doliars. 
MRS. B. F. BONNER: This Daylily, in my opinion, beats any pale lemon in existence 
today. It is the color of Hyperion but a much larger lily with wider petals and as for 
its loveliness, it has them all beat in every respect. Better texture, lasts longer in the 
evening and has a much longer blooming season and is far more profuse in its bloom 
than Hyperion. Blooms 6 inches in diameter, its height about 214 to 3 feet. May and June. 
List price, three dollars. 
ON TOUR: A giant bloom exceeding 6 inches across of a pale yellow. Its lovely huge 
petals and sepals are slightly twisted in a form found in no other Daylily in our fields 
and if there ever was a “must have,” this is surely it. Height about 314 feet. May and 
June. List price, three dollars. 
QUEEN OF GONZALES: This is a huge wide petaled early bloomer, giant, about six 
inches across. Its color is the deepest gold, almost a chrome and lasts longer after being 
cut than any Daylily I have ever seen. The plant here is almost a constant bloomer, but 
its most profuse season is April and May. This variety, as well as ‘Mrs. B. F. Bonner,” 
was listed in the “Flower Grower,” August. 1945, issue, by Elmer A. Claar, Chairman of 
the Daylily section, American Amaryllis Society, as two of the best Daylilies he’s seen, 
regardless of the price. Height of Queen of Gonzales is three feet. List price, two dollars. 
You may have all four of the above varieties for $5.00, if your order is placed within 
thirty days, for delivery now or in the spring.
