This list cancels former lists. 
AMARYLLIS GARDENS, 15 Sereven Ave., N. E. Atlanta, Ga Phone WA. 7848 
HEMEROCALLIS (day lilies) are extremly hardy, 
does well in any type soil, in full sun or partial 
shade. The new Hybrids, with their prolonged bloom- 
ing season have their place in all well appointed 
gardens. They never have an off season, never dis- 
appoint, never too wet or dry, neglect does not pre- 
vent blooming, An ideal plant for those with limit- 
ed garden work hours. 
Many have two blooming periods, others bloom 
continuously all summer. They are truly most color- 
full, yellow from palest shades to deep orange, bright 
red to deep mahogany, maroon and maroon with 
black eyezone, others with combinations of pink, 
rose, purple, pastels and delightful bicolors, (petals 
richly colored, alternated with clear light sepals) 
These come in many shades, see list. 
Should you have a spot in the garden needing 
brightning up or that the hose does not reach, try 
a few of our lighter colars, They will bloom under 
trees if shade is not too dense. 
We cross polinate in view of producing new shades 
and markings. Our seed surplus can be had @ $1.00 
per 100. 1 year seedling plants @ $3.00 per doz. A 
colar range of unlabeled blooming size plants @ 
$5.00 per dozen. 
No chemical fertilizers are used on our plants, 
We make and use compost which is far better as a 
plant food, better blooms and more rapid increase 
of plants, they come to you with a fine root-system 
assuring rapid groth. We have never been ealled on 
to replace a plant that did not do well. 
Many letters are received from those never hav- 
ing seen others than the old varieties of yellows.
