YOU MAY HAVE ANY TEN FROM THIS LIST FOR 34.00 
OR THE ENTIRE LIST OF EIGHTEEN FOR $7.00, 
SENT POSTPAID 
AMARYLLIS — This lovely 4% inch flower was 
introduced by Betscher. Its color is of the 
softest gold with thick firm leathery petals. 
This is a shade of yellow not to be overlooked 
in making your selection. A “honey” if there 
ever was one. Height 3 feet. May and June. 
BIJOU — This is one of the loveliest little things 
that grow. It’s one of the best of the many 
hybrids selected from the many flowered species 
multiflora. The blooms are small, but extremely 
profuse. The ground colors are a shade of 
tangerine strongly overcast with a rich red 
with a darker mid-zone. It will be a long time 
before this one is beat in its class. Height 2% 
feet. May and June. 
CINNABAR — A lovely flower of cadium yellow 
slightly overcast with the richest cinnamon. 
Blooms are about 4 inches across. Height 2% 
feet. May and June. 
CITY OF AMARILLO — This lovely flower, we 
think, was named properly. The Texas city of 
Amarillo has taken this Daylily as its official 
city flower. The members of the Amarillo 
Garden Club asked me to pick one of the most 
profuse bloomers that they might take as their 
city flower. This particular variety, we believe, 
is a glorious tribute. Its lovely pale gold, fully 
open, 5 inch flower actually has three times 
more blooms on it than any of the hundreds of 
varieties of yellow Daylilies that we grow. 
Height 3 feet. April and May. 
DAUNTLESS — This huge lovely 5 inch fully open 
flower with the finest of texture is of a gorgeous 
shade of buff yellow with a slight overcast of 
brown for its eye-zone and one of the best of 
the eastern introductions for a cut flower. Ex- 
tremely profuse bloomer and one that I believe 
will be with us a long time. Height 3 ft. April 
and May. 
GLADIATOR — Imagine a glorious display in your 
gardens of this lovely variety. Tangerine in 
color with a lovely sheen in this flower that is 
hard to describe. It is a color far removed 
perhaps than any you have ever seen and surely 
one of the most profuse bloomers grown. Height 
8 feet. April and May. 
HYPERION — This variety has perhaps been more 
publicized than any of the lemons on the market 
today. It’s a huge 5 inch clear pale lemon 
blooming here for us in May and June. Height 
2% feet. 
IRIS PERRY — This lovely variety comes to us 
from Europe and is a beautiful chrome slightly 
overcast cinnamon. It is really a color hard to 
describe. Its flowers are about 4% to 5 inches. 
Height 3 feet. May and June. 
J. T. RUSSELL—I could not have put this variety 
in at this price were it not for the fact that it 
grows and multiplies faster than many and have 
an excelelnt stock at the present time. It has a 
huge 6 inch bloom. The petals are lemon with 
an intense cinnamon red eye zone. The sepals 
are a clear lemon. Height 3 feet. May and 
“June. This one will be listed in our new cata- 
logue at $2.00 each. 
LINDA—This lovely combination of pastel colors 
is written up in this month’s Better Homes and 
Gardens as one of the real ‘honeys’. It has a 
Plant Hemerocallis 
Daylilies 
color combination of copper, rose, and brown. 
Blooms 4 inches across. April and May. 
MARDI GRAS—This lovely flower is a cinnamon- 
red with a deep, wide red eye. Its petals and 
sepals are an even color. Its throat is green. 
Its 4% inch blooms open full. A most unusual 
flower and a profuse bloomer. Height 2% 
feet. May and June. 
MARGAURITE PALMER — This beautiful flower 
was named for the garden editor of the Houston 
Press. Its bloom is a lovely well-rounded thing 
with wide overlapping petals and is an unusual 
shade. While the color is very intense, it is not 
as dark a red as some, but has the loveliest 
cardinal red eye zone. Its sepals are yellow 
overcast with the same rich red. Its throat is 
yellow. A real “prize”. A lovely fast growing 
- Daylily and a most prolific bloomer. 4% inch 
bloom. Height 2% feet. May and June. 
MIK ADO—Don’t be misled in this ungodly name. I 
didn’t name it. It was introduced by Dr. Stout 
at the New York Botanical Gardens and is still, 
in my opinion, a lovely thing to have in any- 
body’s garden, especially with the lovely shades 
of yellows. This color is the deepest of yellow 
with a purple eye zone. 4 inch bloom. Height 
3 feet. May and June. 
MOONGATE — This is one of my introductions 
offered for the first time never before seen in 
print. A lovely canary yellow of the firmest 
texture. Five inch blooms with wide twisted 
petals, the sepals recurve, and it has a lovely 
green throat. Height 3% feet. April and May. 
MRS. A. H. AUSTIN—In many years of working 
with Daylilies, I have seen dozens of varieties 
of Daylilies sold by the different nurseries that 
was supposed to be this variety. There seems 
to have been quite a confusion as to the true 
stock of this one, but the true stock we carry 
of this variety is one of the loveliest things you 
have ever seen. It’s a big 5 inch open flower of 
rich buttercup yellow with slightly ruffled 
petals. Height 3 feet. April and May. 
MRS. CHARLES URSCHEL—Did you ever see a 
two-tone lemon lily? This lovely full bloom is 
about 4 inches and its color is the palest lemon 
with a sheen showing quite distinctly another 
shade, yet staying in the lemon class. We intro- 
duced this lily several years ago, but had to take 
it, off the market to replenish our stock. We now 
have a sufficient amount to offer again. Height 
8 feet. May and June. 
MT. VERNON —This lovely full and wide flower is 
lemon, deeply overcast coral-rose, multiplies 
fast, blooms profusely, and is an excellent 
keeper as a cut flower. If you want something 
really different in Daylilies, here it is. Blooms 
5 inches across. Height 2% feet. April, May, 
and June. 
QUEEN OF GONZALES—This is a solid self. The 
whole flower is the deepest yellow, and the wide 
overlapping petals open full. The 6 inch flower 
remains open longer after being cut than any I 
have ever seen, and the plant is almost a con- 
stane bloomer. One of the earliest of the giants 
to bloom. Height 3 feet. April, May, and again 
in mid-summer.
