delicate yellow throat of the bloom. July-Aug. 38 in. $3.50 
ANTIMONY 387-91 (Nesmith 1940) A flaring and frilled flower 
of pinkish apricot buff. The petals have a touch, of antimony 
yellow which carries well down to the throat of soft javel 
green. July-Aug. 40 in. $2.50 
ARCTIC STAR 39-43 (Nesmith 1940) Starry trumpet shaped 
flower of Bartya yellow flushed slightly deeper toward the 
center. The effect of the large flower is a creamy buff lightly 
waved and fluted at the edge. Aug. 40 in. $4.00 
AUGUST PIONEER (Stout 1939) The many blooms are me- 
dium in size on slender strong scapes which are well 
branched and extend above the grassy foliage. A chrome or- 
ange flower with the petals flushed red. Aug.-Sept. 34 in. $2.00 
AUTUMN DAWN 45-166 (Nesmith 1946) Clear and cool as 
autumn sunlight at dawn, this empire yellow is a valu- 
able addition to the late blooming hemerocallis. Wide open 
flowers of heavy smooth substance with broad petals 
and sepals recurving at the tips and slightly ruffled at the 
edges. The stalks are sturdy with good branching. Aug.- 
Sept. 45 in. $8.00 
AUTUMN RED 40-223 (Nesmith 1941) A velvety red with a 
long season of bloom. An open semi-flaring flower with petals 
of Vandyke red flushed with Nopal red. The sepals have the 
same colors with a lighter line at the midrib. 15 to 20 flowers

2.00 
BALLET DANCER 43-116 (Nesmith 1946) Dainty and charm- 
ing, this hemerocallis has many appealing qualities and gives 
a very pink effect in the garden. The full flowers are smoothly 
finished and are between Buff pink and Grenadine pink 
(Ridgway), but the flat finish of the plates lack the luster 
of these smoothly finished blooms. The stalks are well 
branched of medium height. July-Aug. 38 in. $12.00 
BARONET (Stout). The petals and sepals are a sprightly 
fulvous red, blending into the orange throat. The semi- 
rounded flowers are recurving, and the sharp contrast of the 
two colors is most pleasing. June-July. 28 in. $4.00 
BANDANA 38-404 (Nesmith 1945) Gay and brilliant as a 
brightly colored kerchief, the rich tomato red and orange 
yellow tones are so skilfully blended that it is one of the 
most colorful hemerocallis in the garden. The tomato red 
petals have a narrow fluting of yellow at the edge. The sepals 
are a smooth even blending of the colors. Tall with many 
flowers and good branching. Aug. 40 in. $6.00 
BEACON FLAME 40-34 (Nesmith 1941). Clustered bells of 
Jasper red with no other color to mar their clean cut beauty. 
The warmth of the graceful reflexed flowers is enhanced by 
their smooth firm finish. July-Aug. 36 in. $6.00 
BITTERSWEET 39-111 (Nesmith 1941). Most refreshing are 
these bright flowers of bittersweet orange flushed with coral 
red. The flower filled stalks remind one of the brilliant sprays 
of our American bittersweet. July-Aug. 38 in, $3.50 
BIJOU (Stout 1935) The flowers have an orange back- 
ground, strongly overcast with rich deep red, and are borne 
in clusters on many branched stems. De ate, dhbnovedfolbie, 
$1.50 
BLACK CHERRY (G. Douglas 1945) A hemerocallis that 
is well named for the color is almost identical with the deep 
red purple shades of the delectable large black cherries that 
we find in our markets. The flowers are beautifully formed 
with recurving petals and sepals. Not a large flower but so 
rich in black red tones that it stands out in the garden. 
Floriferous and does not fade under hottest sun, the grace- 
ful flowers are in perfect proportion to the strong well 
branched stalks. July-Aug. 36 in. $8.00 
BLACK FALCON 39-125. (Nesmith 1941) Incredibly dark, 
this is the nearest to black of any hemerocallis I have pro- 
duced. The flowers are large, open and wavy at the edges 
with a shallow pale canary yellow cup. A stunning and 
unusual hermerocallis. July-Aug. 38 in. $15.00 
BLITHESOME 40-357 (Nesmith 1945) A charming cream 
self with extremely heavy substance and delicious fragrance. 
There is a dense opaque quality that is quite different from 
other cream yellows. The flowers are open in form with a 
strong raised midrib on the petals. Tall and well branched. 
Aug. 48 in. $7.00 
BLOODROOT 40-388 (Nesmith 1946) The most brilliant 
hemerocallis that I have produced. A self between scarlet 
and Brazil-red (Ridgway) The color reminds me of the sap 
that exudes from a broken bloodroot stem. A self with a 
velvety finish that extends to the inconspicuous yellow throat 
The high branching displays the flowers in a blazing mass of 
color. July-Aug. 36 in. $15.00 
BOLD COURTIER (Nesmith 1939) The Pompeian rose petals 
are very broad and especially full at the throat with a creamy 
yellow line down the center. The soft vellow sepals are 
strongly re-curved, and slightly flushed with the rose of the 
petals. A beautiful outstanding bi-color. July. Aug. 38 in. 
$7.00 
BOUTONNIERE (Stout 1939) Small brilliant flowers with 
wide overlapping and recurving petals, well placed on freely 
branching slender stalks. The sepals are almost clear 
orange, the petals light rosy pink. July. 36 in. $2.00 
BRAVE WARRIOR 45-181 (Nesmith 1946) This was intro- 
duced last year as Bold Warrior, but the name had been 
taken, so I have changed it to Brave Warrior. The under- 
color is Ox-blood red with an overflush of Bordeaux (Ridg- 
way) on the petals. The flowers are wide petaled of pleas- 
ing open form and so full of glowing color that they make a 
most stunning clump in the garden. July-Aug. 40 in. 
$10.00 
BRIGAND 38-345 (Nesmith 1944) A big flower with a distinc- 
tive pattern of rose and mahogany on the large full blooms. 
The flowers have broad recurving petals and sepals, with a 
cream midrib on the petals, and a halo of deep rose in the 
throat. The flowering stalks are tall with 25 or more blooms 
on well branched stalk. July-Aug. 43 in. $8.00 
CABALLERO (Stout) Large lily-like bicolor with rose 
petals and yellow sepals. A charming hemerocallis that is 
very effective in the garden. 40 in. $4.00 
CANARI 389-32 (Nesmith 1940) Large open flowers of palest 
canary yellow shading to very light Dresden yellow in the 
throat. The blooms have a satiny finish and seem like a 
spray of cream lilies. The scapes are well branched with 
twenty buds to a stalk. July-Aug, 38 in, $8.00
