HEMEROCALLIS PRICE LIST FOR SPRING 1947 
J. B. $. NORTON, 4922 FORTIETH PLACE, HYATTSVILLE, MD. 
Prices are for divisions shipped prepaid; they are 10% less for delivery at the Garden, or on orders of $10 or more. 
A star indicates those we like best. Figures give height in feet. Blooming season: EE, very early; E, late spring; ES, 
éarly summer; M, midsummer; L, late summer; F, late summer or autumn. Such data are approximate, especially the color 
names. It is difficult to pin down daylily colors to exact standards, as they vary so with light, temperature, moisture and 
time of day. The colors given are what they seem to be without matching with a color guide and using the most common 
color names familiar to everyone. In daylilies we rarely need other color names than red, pink, rose, orange, yellow, buff, 
green, purple and brown, which modified by combining them and using light, pale, dark, dull and very, will give us about 70 
bgt colors that can be understood without an expensive colvr book. These simplifications are the result of 50 years’ study 
of colors. 
Daylilies succeed under a great variety of conditions. They bloom from two to six weeks, from spring to late fall, nearly 
all colors and color combinations except blue and white. They are hard to kill. April and August are favored planting times. 
September is fine here except for spring blooming kinds. ! 
Visit our Garden about May 20 to see most early kinds in bloom; June 15, to see the japanese iris garden. July 10 is 
the peak of bloom for the hundreds of kinds of summer blooming daylilies, and soon after, for the only lilies we have, Lilium 
superbum, wild among the iris. In mid-August our new late hemerocallis hybrids are in flower. But a visit each month from 
March to November is needed to see all our 2,700 kinds of plants in bloom.
