EASY TO GROW 
Nothing so easy to grow in 
sun or shade — acid or lime 
soil. For the border beds — 
foundation planting or along 
the banks of streams or lakes.

NEW INTRODUCTIONS 
We are forced this season to withdraw many of our new varieties to replenish our stock. Just as soon as 
possible we will offer them again. Many here are offered for the first time, and now priced so everybody 
can afford these lovely jewels. 
STARS OVER DALLAS 
This is one of the palest lemons, with 
a cool green throat and has the best 
texture. Its lovely, wide petals are 
slightly twisted and recurved. A_ full 
5-inch beauty growing 3 feet high. One 
of the paltest really pale lemons. April, 
May, June, $2 
ON TOUR 
A giant bloom fully 6 inches across, of 
the palest yellow. The petals are wide 
and the sepals slightly twisted in a 
form found in no other daylily. No 
visitor in our fields wanted to go away 
without one. This one is simply a ‘’must 
have’. 3% ft. May, June. $2 
PURPLE SAGE 
Deep wine — one of the darkest of the 
purples. The petals are ruffled, with a 
slightly yellow mid-rib and a large 
golden throat. The 41-inch bloom keeps 
well in our hot sun. Rated as one of 
America’s finest wine purples. 3 feet. 
April, May. $2

a lovely satin sheen. The wide petals 
and sepals are slightly reflexed and 
open full. Stands our hottest sun and 
remains open evenings. Sma!l yellow 
throat; bloom 4% inches across. 31 ft.

We believe we are the largest grower of daylilies in America. This 
season we have taken in five more acres, making a total of fourteen solid 
acres in daylilies. We are now growing more than a million plants. | wish 
they were all good plants—but they are not. In fact, not even one-half of 
them are even worth having. We grow hundreds and hundreds of varieties 
here under observation and after years of careful study, many thousands 
are discarded as being unworthy as garden subjects. 
We are attempting to show you on this little folder actual photo- 
graphs of those we consider worthy, and a photograph of a variety of 
which there are many many thousands that are absolutely useless. Notice 
this variety, how it folds up here under our Texas sun. You will not find 
such as this even in our mixed varieties — only those that can “take it” 
are placed in these series. Our Texas grown plants, those we consider 
worthy of garden subjects, are proven hardy from Maine to California, 
and when they hold up after our rigid tests, after the kind of sun Texas 
sends out, then you can bet your life you have something worth having. 
As to their hardiness, we get enough freeze to burst unprotected water 
pipes, and to kill out many weak 
daylilies not found to be hardy, 
yet enough heat in the summer 
to show up a daylily if it can’t 
“take it’. The plants we send 
out are all hardy blooming size 
plants, and all orders amounting 
to $3.00 or more are sent post- 
paid; otherwise, send 35c for 
postage.
