LADY FAIR 39-105 (Nesmith 1946) Some flowers are bril- 
liant in the garden while others are entrancing with their 
delicate colors and Lady Fair is one of the latter for it is 
a blending of Jasper and flesh pink with a creamy undertone.

nial background. The petals and sepals are lightly ruffled on

liant by the blaze of Indian red on the petals. The tallest well 
branched hemerocallis that I have seen. July-Aug. 5 ft.
