Letters to the Editor... 
Our daylilies are very beautiful now and 
my husband says if I can fit in a few new ones 
with a shoe born I may order some. We have 
just had garden friends from Illinois to stay 
with us and they are enchanted with all we 
have in bloom now. Will you please send 
them a catalog? Thank you very much for 
this kindness and for growing these lovely 
things to make our garden nice.—Mrs. E. G.

“Old Faithful’? Opbir is going to pass the 
600 mark tomorrow, in spite of the May 28th 
freeze or 8 inches of heavy snow—and the 
past six weeks with no rain and thermometer 
in the 100’s. I am so proud of my Daylily 
Theron with its 165 blooms on a 3-year-old 
plant. I think it cannot be excelled by any 
other. I love it each time I look at it—morn- 
ing, noon and night.—Mrs. Cuester L. 
Hoven, 548 Bailey Court, Cherokee, Towa— 
August 12, 1947. 
Thank you for the prompt filling of my 
order. I ordered my first Hemerocallis from 
you around 20 years ago. Then, as with this 
last order, I am more than pleased with your 
service, “Better” Plants. by ae o1ee a ure 
better plants by far than many plants from 
other sources. —Mrs. WALTER SHARPE, Maiden 
Lane, Roanoke 15, Virginia—July 29, 1947.

In your Daylily catalog you 
mentioned several varieties hav- 
ing 1000 blooms over the month. 
I kept a record of the blooms 
of my August Pioneer this year. 
From July 21 to October 27 
there were 2422 blooms. 
In the month of August alone 
there were over 2000 blooms. 
The records are on this enclosed 
card.—Mrs. D. W. McInTiIRE, 
4005 S. Dakota Ave., N. E. Wasb- 
ington 18, D.C.—October 29, 1947. 
The Daylilies which I have 
bought from you last year and the 
year before are a lovely sight this 
year as are those which I had you 
send to my niece Mrs. John Randell 
at Bryn Mawr. She is as delighted 
as lam. Thank you for the pleasure 
in giving me these beautiful garden 
Gems.—Miss Mary Evans, 604

PORT is not only outstanding 
for color but also for a profusion 
of bloom equaled by very few Day- 
lilies. Note abundance of buds and 
blooms. Description page 14. 

My mother was an entomologist. Her line 
of work passed on to me at least a knowledge 
of good healthy plants when I see them, and 
yours are such. During the past few years 
plants have come in terrible shape even from 
the best nurseries, so it was a joyful surprise 
to see yours. We can use more Daylilies next 
season. Thank you again.—Mrs. F. W. Woop, 
““The Bircbes”, Ryder’s Cove, Islesboro, 
Maine—August 15, 1947. 
Last year I got 3 Daylilies from you. One 
Ophir blooming now, 1 Mikado bloomed and 
1 Rajah is budded. They really are beautiful. 
It’s money well spent—Mrs. Ipa UKENa, 
Lakota, Iowa—July 18, 1947. 
I bought 9 Daylilies from you two years ago 
and they are blooming beautifully. J bad 114 
blooms on my Opbir this year. I am certainly 
pleased with all of them. This order brings 
me to 20 varieties of Stout Hybrids.—Mrs. 
J. E. Smirn, 219 Merritt St., Turlock, Cali- 
fornia—July 17, 1947. 
May I tell you all of your introductions are 
really super? All I bought of you have 
bloomed and are thriving beautifully and I’m 
quite excited about them.—Mrs. WALTER 
Kroecer, Norwalk, Wisconsin—July 23, 
1947.
