delicate yellow throat of the bloom. July-Aug. 38 in. $3.50

green. July-Aug. 40 in. $2.50

autumn sunlight at dawn, this empire yellow is a valu- 
able addition to the late blooming hemerocallis. Wide open

and sepals recurving at the tips. The stalks are sturdy with 
good branching. Aug.-Sept. 45 in. $8.00

on well branched stalks. Aug.-Sept. 39 in. $3.00 
BALLET DANCER 438-116 (Nesmith 1946) Dainty and charm- 
ing, this hemerocallis has many appealing qualities and gives 
a very pink effect in the garden. The full flowers are smoothly 
finished and are between Buff pink and Grenadine pink 
(Ridgway), but the flat finish of the plates lack the luster 
of these smoothly finished blooms. The stalks are well 
branched of medium height. July-Aug. 38 in. $9.60 
BARONET (Stout). The petals and sepals are a sprightly 
fulvous red, blending into the orange throat. The semi- 
rounded flowers are recurving, and the sharp contrast of the 
two colors is most pleasing. June-July. 22 in. $4.00 
BANDANA 38-404 (Nesmith 1945) Gay and brilliant as a 
brightly colored kerchief, the rich tomato red and orange 
yellow tones are so skillfully blended that it is one of the 
most colorful hemerocallis in the garden. The tomato red 
petals have a narrow fluting of yellow at the edge. The sepals 
are a smooth even blending of the colors. Tall with many 
flowers and good branching. Aug. 40 in. $6.00 
BEACON FLAME 40-34 (Nesmith 1941). Clustered bells of 
Jasper red with no other color to mar their clean cut beauty.

ing petals and sepals. The color is grenadine pink (Ridgway) 
with darker rose coloring in the veins. July. 36 in. $4.00 
BLACK BURNIAN 39-149 (Nesmith 1943) A reeurving flower 
of red that has great garden value. The body color is Indian 
red with a mahogany purple overflush on both petals and 
sepals. The star-shaped cup is the same brilliant orange we 
see at the throat of that lovely bird the Blackburnian Warbler, 
hence the name. The flowers have firm substance and the 
stalks are well branched. July-Aug. 40 in. $4.09 
BLACK CHERRY (G. Douglas 1945) A hemerocallis that 
is well named for the color is almost identical with the deep 
red purple shades of large black cherries, The flowers are 
beautifully formed with recurving petals and sepals. A flower 
so rich in black red tones that it stands out in the garden. 
Floriferous and does not fade under hottest sun, the grace- 
ful flowers are in proportion to the well branched stalks.
