20 FAIRMOUNT GARDENS 
CHARIOTEER 38-17 (Nesmith 1941) Large open lily shaped 
flowers of Brazilian red and cadmium yellow borne on very 
tall highly branched scapes. The broad brilliant petals are 
fluted at the tips and have a decidedly yellow midrib extend- 
ing into the rich yellow cup. July-Aug. 52 in. $3.00 
CHENGTU With the exception of Fulva rosea this species 
is the most attractive and unusual of all the fulvous types. 
Tall, graceful stalks well filled with flowers of blended red 
and yellow, deepening to intense red in the throat. 3% ft. 
Aug.-Sept. $4.00 
CHIANTI 38-19 (Nesmith 1943) A raspberry self with a 
purple effect in the garden. Both sepals and petals recurve 
from the tiny yellow cup. According to Ridgway, the near- 
est color is pomegranate purple, but this does not give a 
picture of these modern sized flowers with their nicety of 
finish. July-Aug. 38 in. $3.00 
CHLOE (Nesmith 1938) Full ruffled flower with deep yel- 
low background, flecked and powdered with warm golden 
sepia. The darker sepals of burnt orange are most unusual. 
Diy eli, uke. $3.00 
CIRCE (Stout 1937) Clear yellow flower of medium size. 
The blooms are well placed on freely branched stalks. Very 
effective in the garden. July. 40 in. $2.00 
CORALINE 37-74 (Nesmith 1940) Large open flowers 
with background of maize yellow flushed with shrimp pink, 
slightly lighter at the edge of the petals and sepals. Late 
flowering with twenty or more buds. Aug.-Sept. 39 in. 
$4.00 
CRESSIDA (Betscher 1929) Flower of deep orange, with 
reddish band on petals. True stock rare. July-Aug. $1.50 
CROWN OF GOLD (Nesmith 1933) Clear deep orange flowers 
of great beauty. 3 ft. May-June. $1.50 
DAILY DOUBLE (G. Douglas 1946) A most unusual double 
flower of attractive form and color. The flowers are 
Mikado orange (Ridgway) faintly flushed with a deeper tone 
toward the center of the bloom. The contour of the flower is 
the same as other hemerocallis, but in addition it has three 
perfect petaloids in the center of the bloom as well as stamens 
and pistil. Usually the flowers that open one day are double 
followed the next day by some that are single, but most of 
the flowers keep this doubling. Firm substance and color 
does not fade. A long step forward toward double hemerocallis 
and should be of interest to breeders. July-Aug. 40 in. 
$8.00 
DAUNTLISS (Stout 1935) Pale cadmium yellow with green- 
ish throat and delicate fulvous touch in center of each petal. 
A great garden favorite. 2% ft. July-Aug. $1.50 
DAWN PLAY 387-17 (Nesmith 1938) An open flower of deep 
velvety rose, illumined by a golden heart. Very tall and stately 
it has a resplendent beauty that stands out in the garden. 
When established it throws second blooming stalks late in the 
season. 50 in. July-Aug. $8.00 
DEVON CREAM 40-3238 (Nesmith 1945) Anyone that has 
been in Devonshire and had their thick clotted cream can 
visualize the thick creamy texture of this ful] petalled 
flower. The pale cream blooms are similar in shape to those 
of Doeskin but with wider sepals and petals that are beau- 
trfully fluted at the edge. Heavy firm substanced flowers 
on very strong sturdy stalks. July-Aug. 39 in. $8.00 
DOESKIN 39-47 (Nesmith 1940) Broad petaled full flowers 
of lightest aureolin yellow with the finish and thickness of 
texture that we find in doeskin or chamois gloves. Very 
sturdy scapes with many flowers on well branched stalks. 
July-Aug. 38 in. $5.00 
DRAGON 39-39 (Nesmith 1940) The undercolor is ecad- 
mium orange. The petals and sepals are flushed with 
dragon’s blood red giving the impression of a light rosy 
vermilion flower. July-Aug. 39 in. $3.00 
DRESDEN CHINA 40-218 (Nesmith 1948) Smoothly fin- 
ished flower, that in arrangement of colors reminds one of 
dainty Dresden china. The pinkish cinnamon petals have a 
midrib of amber with a halo of orange cinnamon just above 
the lemon yellow throat. The sepals are amber with a 
shining finish. The flower has a crisp cool effect in the 
garden. Lovely for flower arrangement. July-Aug. aoa ti 
DRESDEN DOLL 45-106 (Nesmith 1946) Blended flowers 
with a soft cream background flushed with Salmon buff. The 
substance of the flowers is so crisp and firm that the petals 
and sepals stand out like bits of dainty china. Tall and very 
widely branched this salmon pink gives a most cool refresh- 
ing effect in the garden. I have found this hemerocallis very 
valuable in breeding on account of the tall strong stalks and 
splendid branching. July-Aug. 50 in. $6.60 
EVENSONG (Nesmith 1946) Lovely as the soft mellow glow 
at twilight this Chamois-buff is the deepest in color of the 
evening blooming varieties. The heavy textured flowers of 
open recurving form have a rosy halo in the throat of the 
bloom. The flowers open late in the afternoon remaining firm 
and fresh until late the next day. Those that are fond of the 
evening flowering varieties will find this a joy for their gar- 
den. High branching. 38 in. $10.00 
FAR NORTH 45-180 (Nesmith 1946) There is a great de- 
mand for good large flowered light yellow hemerocallis 
for most of our gardens need them to lighten up drab spots 
in late summer to say nothing of their coo] refreshing charm. 
I have found Far North, a soft Naples yellow, most suc- 
cessful in my own garden. The heavy substanced flowers 
are large and full borne in clusters on very strong sturdy 
well branched stalks. 52 in. $9.00 
FIRE FLAME 38-213 (Nesmith 1944) Like a flaming sunset, 
this brilliant red orange is one of the most showy hemero- 
callis in the garden. It is a self with large full flowers of open 
form and velvety finish. 30 or more clustered blooms on tall 
highly branched stalks. Rich and colorful as the golden flame 
of burning wood. Aug. 48 in, $5.00 
FIRE-OPAL 37-40 (Nesmith 1946) A very recurving bicolor 
with the sepals much deeper in color than the petals. The 
petals are deep cadmium yellow with a cream midrib. The 
under color of the sepals is zine orange heavily flushed with 
Carnelian red. The intensity of color, slender form and unique 
shape of the flowers make this variety especially good for 
flower arrangement. 38 in. $8.00 
FIRETHORN 45-112 (Nesmith 1946) Medium sized flowers 
of Dragons blood red with ruffled petals and sepals and a 
rich orange six pointed cup with red stamens in the center 
of the bloom. Of multiflora parentage it has a myriad of 
bright red flowers carried in clusters on slender strong stalks 
that have many branches. A bright spot of color in late 
summer. Aug.-Sept. 38 in. $8.00 
FLAVINA (Fewkes 1933) A charming and dainty flower of 
bright lemon-yellow. Quite distinct from any other hemero- 
callis, and a delightful rock garden subject. 24 in. May-June. 
$2.00 
FULVA ROSEA The most beautiful of any known species of 
hemerocallis. The flowers are a luscious rose pink, and 
are borne on tall graceful stalks. 3% ft. July-Aug. $5.00 
GAY TROUBADOUR 39-48 (Nesmith 1941) Entirely differ- 
ent and charming is this most unusual red and cream yellow 
bicolor. The petals are bright Indian red in stunning contrast 
to the sepals of frosty maize yellow. Very flaring flowers. A 
flower of great beauty and refinement and a great favorite 
with garden visitors. July-Aug. 40 in. $5.00 
GLOAMING (Cook 1936) Large open blooms with yellow 
background, heavily overcast with reddish rose-purple. The 
whole flower has a sparkling beauty. July-Aug. 3% ft. $1.00

glowing marigold orange flushed with dark nasturtium red. 
Open reflexed flowers of burnished red on tall strong stalks. 
Long season of bloom. July 20th to Sept. 5th. 50 in. $4.00
