In Praise of Theron 
“Last fall I bought Theron, your mahogany 
Daylily, from a description in a catalog, be- 
cause it cost three dollars. 
“How could a Daylily be worth more than 
the best rose in my rose garden? Now that I’ve 
seen the bloom I know, and I wish you could see 
the three blooms in my garden complemented 
by three hollyhocks and many gaillardias in 
the same colors.”—E.uizaBETH D. NuGENT, 
West Hempstead, N. Y. 
because of its buff and pink shades of 
peach. Inside of throat is flushed deeper 
russet, pink and peach. Outside of throat 
is golden yellow. In the pastel class with 
Daylily B. H. Farr but later, larger and 
taller, with more pink tones and lights. 
Wide, overlapping and gracefully recurv- 
ing petals of exceptional durability. At- 
tractive parallel veinings to a banded ef- 
fect. Large, plump, green-gold buds form 
a display by themselves. Good evenings 
and new blooms open during the night 
while old blooms close. First bloom as 
early as July 4; last as late as September 
6. Georgia possesses a translucence that 
is very responsive to light, to backgrounds 
and to surroundings. It blends extremely 
well in mixed plantings and borders. $3.00 
each. 
HANKOW. 324 ft. Aug., Sept. Flowers are 
















large (51%"), rich yellowish orange with 
bold scarlet eye-zone in petals. A clone of 
the species H. fulva, extensively cultivated 
near Hankow, China, for food and medicine. 
Good evenings and one of few large, late 
flowering. See picture. $1.50 each. 
HIAWATHA, 3!5 ft. July. Exceedingly 
numerous, medium small, clear golden 
orange blooms on many branching, up- 
standing scapes. A six-year-old plant at 
Weiser Park bore 35 scapes, each with ap- 
proximately 30 buds—1000 blooms to a 
plant. Yeldrin is a counterpart in lighter 
shade. Both are like H. multiflora but 
taller, larger and earlier. Good evenings. 
Fragrant. See picture. $1.50 each.
