This is the tallest of the really pale lemons. 
The 5-inch bloom of perfect texture opens full; 
the color is much paler than those usually 
described as lemon. Its height, after being 
established, is something not to be overlooked 
when planning your garden. Keeps well. 4 ft.

CITY OF MEXICO—(1946.) This is a very fine 6-inch flower. The red-wine petals 
have a wide deep purpie eye zone with a wide, almost white midrib. Ruffled, opens 
full, and has a most beautiful shade of yellow in its throat, The vividness of 
this color pattern represents the bright colors found in Mexico. This is an excellent 
keeper and multiplies fast. 3% ft. April, May. $3.00. 
FLAMING SWORD —Deep fiery red, not as dark as mahogany, with an indescrib- 
able velvety sheen. Very free flowering, and because it is low-growing it looks 
like a small shrub when in full bloom. It has a beautiful chrome throat and is an 
excellent subject as a cut flower. One of our little ‘honeys’? and certainly multiplies 
fast. Flower 314 inches across. 2 ft. May, June. $2.00.

days. 4% feet. April, May. $1.00. 
PAT FLEMING—(1946.) This wide and ruffled flower has petals that are slightly 
twisted. It is true wine-red with deep burgundy veins. Sepals are lemon, richly 
overcast with the deepest wine; its throat is yellow shading to green. This makes 
an excellent cut flower because it keeps well late in the evening. This is surely my 
choice of all the wine-cclored sorts. It has a beautiful velvety sheen. Bloom 4% 
inches. 3% ft. April, May. $2.00.

ROSE OF TRALEE—This dainty little 4-inch flower is one of the best in the really 
rosy pink class that multiplies fast enough to be priced moderately. Its petals are

a shade lighter, with a slight yellow midrib. Its throat is chartreuse-green and 
the dainty petals are ruffled. Makes a blaze of bloom. May, June. $3.00. 
ROSE BEAUTY—wWhile not so deep a rose as some, this is far from salmon hbe- 
cause it is too deep for that color class. Many visitors to our fields call it pink. 
Its wide petals and slightly ruffled sepals are unusualy recurved. The texture is 
almost like leather, with a sulphur throat shading to gieen at the base. Quite the 
loveliest in its class, breaking the monotony of too many yellows in your garden. 
Quite a late bloomer. Muitiplies fast. 4%-inch bloom. 38% ft. June, July. $3.00.

JACOB MURRAY SERIES 
The Daylilies offered here are an entirely different mixture from that offered in the 
past in that there are more reds and wines of more intense colors. In this series there are 
nothing but reds, rose, purples, bi-colors, and the most indescribable color combinations. 
But since deciding many of these varieties are too much like some of the other more 
expensive varieties that are already on the market, we have decided to place them in this 
series, but in a mixture only. 
If you want real beauty and care nothing for names, then by all means order these 
in quantities now. There will not be a solid yellow or common fulvous color in the entire 
lot. If orders are large or small, we will include a wide and varied selection and we will 
do our utmost to see that no two will be alike. Please do not ask us to pick special colors 
in this series because at this price it cannot be done. 
These varieties have quite a varied blooming season and this mixture should give you 
at least three or four solid months bloom after they are established in your garden. Your 
order will be promptly acknowledged.

SUNSHINE SERIES 
New Varieties in Yellow, Gold, and Lemons 
So many people still prefer yellows, lemons, and golds and even paler tints that we 
have decided to offer this Sunshine Series in a mixture but the varieties we have placed in 
this offer are unlike any we have ever sent out before in that they range in colors from 
the very palest to deep chromes in an assortment well balanced as to the heights, seasons 
of blooms, and forms of the flowers. 
Most of them are huge giant blooms that are simply too much like those varieties that 
have been named for us to put them on the market under a name. Those of you who want 
huge displays of golden yellow in your garden will find this a wonderful offer and at 
unheard-of low prices for this quality Daylilies. Regardless of how many yellows you have 
in your garden, you will find these quite unlike any of them.
