| OUR 
1945 and 1946 Daylily Introductions 
CAROLS Rose to Pink, continued 
This unusual flower is light rose to deepest salmon, a color far removed from ordinary Daylilies, 
with the loveliest green throat. Keeps well in the evening as a cut flower. A prolific grower and 
profuse bloomer. We have worked up a nice stock of this variety. Bloom 41% inches. 3% ft. 
April, May, and June. $3.00. 
LILLIAN RUSSELL 
Now comes a new break in colors. This big, full bloom is 6 inches across, with wide petals that 
overlap. It has a huge sulphur-green throat and the flowers are carried on a stiffly erect stem. Its 
habit of growth and the size and form is like that of Hyperion, but the texture is far superior, mak- 
ing it wonderful as a cut flower because it stays open so long at night. The petals are rich rose 
slightly overcast with a shade of lavender and a slightly deeper rose eye zone. The sepals are lemon, 
deeply sprinkled with rose, ruffled and slightly reflexed. This is surely a new break in Daylilies 
and for those who want something really outstanding, this is my choice. A most prolific bloomer 
and a vigorous grower. 214 ft. May, June. $5.00. 
MEADOWLANDS 
This huge, beautiful flower is more than 6 inches across. Opens full, slightly flared, but with 
wide enough petals, deeply sprinkled rich rosy brown with a green throat. The petals are extremely 
ruffled, with a marking in the eye zone hard to describe. This huge dainty flower will please the 
most discriminating in their quest for the unusual in Daylilies. 344 ft. April, May, and again in 
the summer. $3.00. 
ROSE BEAUTY 
While not so deep a rose as some, this is far from salmon because it is too deep for that color 
class. Many visitors to our fields call it pink. Its wide petals and slightly ruffled sepals are un- 
usually recurved. The texture is almost like leather, with a sulphur throat shading to green at the 
base. Quite the loveliest in its class, breaking the monotony of too many yellows in your garden. 
Quite a late bloomer. Multiplies fast. 44-inch bloom. 31% ft. June, July. $3.00. 
ROSE OF GONZALES 
This is really a true rose—almost a rosy pink, with a deeper golden throat. A real “‘honey”’ if 
there ever was one. Multiplies very fast; hence the price. Opens full. Bloom 41% inches across. 
314 ft. May, June. $3.00. 
ROSE OF TRALEE 
This dainty little 4-inch flower is one of the best in the really rosy pink class that multiplies 
fast enough to be priced moderately. Its petals are true rose with a slightly deeper rose eye zone and 
deep rose veins. The sepals are a shade lighter, with a slight yellow midrib. Its throat is char- 
treuse-green and the dainty petals are ruffled. Makes a blaze of bloom. May, June. $5.00. 
See page 15 for Miss Houston, another fine pink introduced by us in 1942 and offered again. 
Wines to Purple 
GLORY OF TEXAS 
This huge 6-inch flower with wide overlapping petalsis a most unusual shade of burgundy-wine, 
fully ruffled, with a rich green throat and a wide, almost white, up-raised midrib in each petal. 
The sepals are gold deeply sprinkled with a vivid shade of burgundy. This flower is excellent as a 
cut flower because it stays open so late at night. 214 ft. June, July. $3.00. 
PAT FLEMING 
(1946.) This wide and ruffled flower has petals that are slightly twisted. It is true wine-red 
with deeper burgundy veins. Sepals are lemon, richly overcast with the deepest wine; its throat is 
yellow shading to green. This makes an excellent cut flower because it keeps well late in the eve- 
ning. This is surely my choice of all the wine-colored sorts. It has a beautiful velvety sheen. Bloom 
414 inches across. 31% ft. April, May. $3.00. 
THE BATTLE CRY | | 
Deep red-purple with a rosy sheen, a color really hard to describe. The 4-inch bloom is profuse, 
opens full, and is one of the best in its color class. 244 ft. June. $3.00. 
THE DIRECTOR oath 
This huge wide flower with its overlapping petals is quite the most stately thing imaginable. 
The petals are fully ruffled and crinkled like crepe paper. The color is a rich shade of wine-red, 
not a fiery red, with rich narrow veins of burgundy. ‘The sepals are a shade lighter and the huge 
wide throat is chrome-colored. This flower will grace any garden. Blooms 5 inches across. 2% ft. 
May, June. $3.00.
