HEMEROCALLIS (Daylilies) 
This fine perennial furnishes bloom from June until September and its popularity has increased by leaps and bounds. 
Amazing progress has been made by breeders in the last few years and we are growing one of the most inclusive collections 
in our gardens. In describing these flowers the three larger, innermost divisions are the petals and the three smaller divi- 
sions of the flower are the sepals. One of the easiest flowers to grow, hemerocallis are indispensible for the summer garden 
thriving with a minimum of attention yet giving a profusion of floral beauty. 
TIME OF SHIPMENT: September to November. Please write your Daylily order on a separate sheet from your 
iris order. 
BROWN EYED SUSAN (Eleanor Hill, Tulsa, Oklahoma. 
1947) 
This personable hemerocallis has grown in our gardens for two years and given us great pleasure. It is 
an early-midseason variety, a pleasant golden yellow with a marking of rich brown on each petal in the throat. 
The marking is so precise it gives the flower a pleasantly capricious air and the contrast with the clear golden 
tone is most charming. This brown eyed zone is not to be confused with the fulvous types as this variety 
has clear golden yellow shades with a rich warm center. It has the added advantage of flowering again in 
the fall, particularly in the warmer parts of the country. Thoroughly satisfactory. 
AFLAME (Nesmith 1941) 
Cup shaped, medium sized blossoms almost crimson with 
a deeper halo; enriched by a glowing yellow throat. July- 
August. 36”. $3.00 
AUGUST PIONEER (Stout 1939) 
Profuse bloomer, one of the late blooming Multiflora 
hybrids flowering from mid-August to mid-September. Min- 
iature flowers of chrome orange with the outer half of the 
petals flushed red. Very valuable for its late season of 
bloom. 42” $1.50 
AUTUMN RED (Nesmith 1941) 
An open velvety red with a long season of bloom. Has 
15 to 20 flowers on well branched stalks. Especially valuable 
for its later season of bloom. August. 38”. $3.00

BLACK FALCON (Nesmith 1941)

BICOLOR (Stout 1941)

lilies we have. The alternating petals are shades of pale red 
and rose with every other petal yellowish orange. A very 
effective flower. July. 38”. $2.50 
BOLD COURTIER (Nesmith 1941) 
This is one of the most stunning and striking Hemero- 
callis. We like particularly the broad, bold and full petaled 
blooms. The broad Pompeian rose petals are especially full 
at the throat with a creamy line down the center. The soft 
yellow sepals furnish the fitting climax; a beautiful, out- 
standing variety. July. 35”. $7.00 
BRUNETTE (Stout 1941)

Hardy Chrysanthemums and Fall blooming asters. Sep- 
tember. 42” $2.00

merits of this fine variety will be recognized nation-wide.
