EVANSIA IRIS INTRODUCTIONS 
CRESTED IVORY (Henry 1948) This dainty form of iris 
Cristata has milk white flowers with a crest of palest yellow. 
that is scarcely perceptible. It is a refined bloom of great 
charm. $2.50 
CRESTED GEM (Henry 1948) From Alabama this tiny 
variety of Cristata is most appealing. An exquisite flower 
of palest China blue, delicately etched with a deeper blue 
on white around the yellow crest. The slender tube is gold- 
en yellow, and the flower is fragrant. It is amazingly 
floriferous and thrives in full sun or part shade. $5.00 
SPURIA IRIS INTRODUCTIONS 
BLUE ACRES (Mrs. T. A. Washington 1948) L. Full broad 
petaled blooms of palest Windsor blue (Ridgway). In effect 
it is a self with large cupped standards and almost hori- 
zontal] falls. An exquisite shade of blue with a frosty sil- 
very lustre on the heavily substanced petals. Dainty and 
charming. Strong clean foliage. 45 in. $10.00 
GOLDEN SCEPTRE (Mrs. T. A. Washington 1948) L. An 
iris of distinction, and the most beautiful yellow spuria that 
I have seen. Perfectly formed flowers with under color of 
cream, heavily flushed with glowing yellow. The blooms are 
open in form, and charmingly fluted on both standards and 
falls. The many blooms are perfect in form and borne on 
tall well branched stalks. Ideal as a cut flower, and most 
decorative in the garden. 42 in. $12.00 
HEMEROCALLIS INTRODUCTIONS 
Colors are taken from Maerz & Paul Dictionary of Color 
BALTIMORE BELLE 47-7 (Nesmith 1948) Charming and 
cheery, this rosy pink is lovely for flower arrangement or 
border planting. The large open flowers are Orient pink 
with a halo of deeper jasper pink just above the creamy 
yellow throat. Tall, with good branching, it gives a very 
pink effect in the garden. July-Aug. 43 in. $10.00 
BURNT ORANGE 43-81 (Nesmith 1948) An unusual com- 
pact flower of deep yellow embellished by a velvety flush of 
reddish orange on the petals. Tall with rather high branch- 
ing, it makes a very showy clump in the border. July-Aug. 
44 in. $8.00 
EBONY BOY 438-86 (Nesmith 1948) If you desire warm 
rich color for rock garden or front of the border planting, 
I recommend this variety. A late dark red purple self with 
a tiny gold cup. Not tall, in fact almost a dwarf, the well 
formed flowers are medium in size, and in keeping with the 
strong slender stalk. Aug.-Sept. 20 in. $6.00 
FAIRY LUSTRE 47-17 (Nesmith 1948) A full spreading 
flower of light Jonquil yellow, crisped and ruffled at the 
edges. Fragrant, and late blooming, the flowers seem en- 
veloped with glistening frost work, that gives a delightful 
and entirely different effect from any other hemerocallis. 
Aug.-Sept. 40 in, $10.00 
GAY ROMNEY 46-176 (Nesmith 1948) Bright and gay with 
gypsy colors, this full flowered variety has an undercolor of 
antique ruby red with a deeper velvety flush on upper part 
of the petals and sepals, extending well into the throat of 
the bloom. Floriferous and brilliant with many blooms on 
tall well branched stalks, it is exceptionally good for color 
accent inthe garden. July-Aug. 42 in. $9.00 
MME RECAMIER 43-100 (Nesmith 1948) Full recurved 
flowers of Récamier pink gaily painted watermelon pink or 
tips of the petals and sepals. The smoothly finished blooms 
are evenly spaced on tall well branched stalks. Cool and 
refreshing in color, it is the latest flowering pink in the 
garden. Aug.-Sept. 42 in, $15.00 
PEPPERMINT (G. Douglas 1948) Bright and delectable as 
pink peppermint candy, this hemerocallis possesses great 
color appeal. The large open flowers have a pale cream 
midrib on the petals that is in pleasing contrast to the pink- 
ness of the flower. Tall and well branched. July-Aug. 
43 in. $10.00 
PYGMALION 44-1 (Nesmith 1948) The charm of this win- 
some bicolor is in the skillful blending of coral pink and 
creamy yellow.In color tone, it is between Debutante and 
Su-Lin, the pastel pink petals and sepals of deep ivory 
merging into creamy yellow in the heart of the flower. The 
stalks are exceptionally well branched with many buds. 
thus giving a long season of bloom. July 1st to Aug. 20th. 
40 in. $8.00 
SAN TOY 45-30 (Nesmith 1948) Neat and trim, the full 
small flowers are deep rubient in color. A self with heavy 
substance, and very fine branching, it is especially nice for 
flower arrangement as well as in the garden. July-Aug. 
38 in. $10.00 
TA MING 45-35 (Nesmith 1948) Rarely does one see a 
hemerocallis with more perfect form and finish. The full 
orange-buff flowers (deep Ta Ming in the color chart) have 
evenly fluted edges on both petals and sepals, and with such 
heavy substance that the blooms stay firm and fresh through- 
out the day even in hottest weather. The exterior of the 
buds is unique and very attractive with their bright green 
tips in contrast to the brilliant orange. Medium in height 
and free flowering. July-Aug. 35 in. $10.00 
THUNDERHEAD 47-1 (Nesmith 1948) As the name im- 
plies, this is a very dark hemerocallis. <A self with full open 
flowers of velvety red, flushed almost black, with very little 
deep yellow at the center of the bloom. In spite of the depth 
of color there is a lustrous sheen that makes it stand out in 
the garden. Very well branched sturdy stalks. July-Aug. 
40 in. $10.00 
WINDSOR TAN 41-63 (Nesmith 1948) There seems to be 
great interest in new and unusual colors in the hemerocallis, 
and this brownish bicolor of Windsor Tan and buff yellow 
has impressed many as being very distinctive. The petals 
are broad and firm of glowing golden brown with sepals of 
yellow lightly flushed with warm sepia. Not tall, but unique 
in color and free flowering it is most effective in the rock 
garden or front of the border. July-Aug. 28 in. $8.00
