Its color is that of Hyperion, but it blooms about a month 
earlier, has much better texture, keeps far better in the 
evening, has a longer blooming season, and is more profuse. 
The foliage is beautiful, and the blooms are 6 inches in 
diameter. May, June. 

BELDESOF GEORGIA 
This is a lovely rounded 4 to 5-inch pale yellow 
bloom, overcast with the color and markings exactly 
like that of a ripe peach. I’ve never seen any 
daylily with such color pattern as this. A simply 
“must have’’. 3 ft. April, May. $2

DAYLILY BEDS OF RUSSELL VARIETIES 
HOUSTON CITY HALL 
Ee 
BLOOMING HABITS OF THE NEW DAYLILIES 
Not all Daylilies bloom at the same time, you know. The 
flowering period of each variety after being established in 
your garden lasts usually from four to six weeks. By careful 
selection you may have varieties that bloom at different 
seasons. Many bloom again in the fall and thus prolong the 
season in your garden for a period of from five to eight 
months of the year, depending on whether you live in the 
South or in the shorter growing season of the North. The 
flowering time listed for each of our varieties is for Texas, and 
people in colder climates will find that their plants usually 
bloom about a month later. The first flowers on a newly 
planted Daylily will not give you a full conception of the true 
character of that particular variety, as they are usually small 
and in some cases not so intense in color as they will be after 
becoming established. Give them a full season’s growth before 
you pass judgment, and | believe you will say that they are 
the most beautiful flowers and the easiiest to grow that you 
have ever dealt with. 
The plants we send out are all of vigorous blooming-size 
stock. If you will spread the roots out and plant to a depth 
of only a few inches, as is shown by the bleaching on the 
stems where they were originally planted, you will have no 
trouble whatever in getting them to grow and thrive in your 
garden. We pay transportation costs on orders of $3.00 or 
more. Otherwise add 35c for postage and packing. 
TAJS MAHAL 
| think the name befitting this daylily. Its color is a 
rich chrome with a velvet sheen and a wide eye zone 
of the richest purple. The fact it only grows 2 feet 
high and is a blaze of bloom, makes it one of the 
loveliest jewels in our fields. 5-inch bloom. Very 
early. April, May. $1
