1947 HEMEROCALLIS Listing 
AMARYLLIS GARDENS, 15 Sereven Ave., N, E, Atlanta, Ga. 
HEMEROCALLIS (day lilies) are extremely hardy, does well in any type soil, in shade 
(not dense) or full sun. The new hybrids, with their prolonged blooming season have 
their place in all well appointed gardens. They have no off seasons, never too wet 
or dry, neglect does not Prevent blooming. An ideal plant for those with limited 
garden work hours, 
Many have two blooming periods, others bloom continuously all summer. They are 
truly most colorful , yellow from palest yellow to deep orange, bright red to deep 
mahogany, maroon to black, others with combinations of pink, rose, purple, pastels 
and bicolors, 
Ve cross polinate our higher price plants in view of producing new shades and 
markings. Our seed surplus can be had @ $2.00 a hundred. 1 year seedling plants 
$2.50 pr doz, 2 year @ $3.50, A color range of unlabeled blooming size plants 
$5.00 dozen, 
Several years ago we dispensed with chemical fertilizers. We use the Indoor 
Method of composting. This compost is the IDEAL plant food, earlier and longer 
blooming season, better branched flower scapes, more blooms and finer quality, My 
files contain many letters vouching for this statement. 
Each season many letters are received from those never having seen the new 
colors, To those flower lovers I make a SPECTAL COLLECTION of a very fine color 
range. 2 Purple Waters, 2 SANTA FE, 2 Pride of Houston, 1 Spitfire, 1 Mary Guenther,
