Individual daylilies flower over a period of from 
four to six weeks. We have indicated the approxi- 
mate bloom season for the central and northern 
states. In the south they will flower a few weeks 
earlier. The term ‘“multaflora’” indicates plants 
with numerous stem branches. Such plants tend 
to have more flowers open at one time and are 
especially desirable for garden display. Size of 
bloom is measured across the open flower and 
height refers to length of blooming scapes. Gener- 
ally a medium-sized flower is between 4 in. and 
5 in., while a large flower is over 5 in. in spread.

was It was our privilege to 
Scarlet Sunset name this brilliant daylily. 
It was our choice as the purest vermilion scarlet 
of all of Mr. Wheeler’s hybrids. The flower is a 
self, both petals and sepals being the same shade. 
The throat is near cadmium yellow. The color is 
so intense that even the buds are orange vermilion. 
The flower is medium in size, relatively narrow 
sepals, nicely recurved, and medium wide petals 
recurved at the tips. Stock very scarce. 
The above varieties are all very limited in 
quantity. Orders for them will be filled in 
order of reservations at $15.00 each net. 
It has been necessary to withdraw a few of the 
Wheeler Daylily Creations listed in 1946 in order 
to increase stock: Those described below can be 
delivered this: spring. or in the fall.
