These seedlings have been carefully selected as being distinct and better than 
known named varieties. Two descriptions are given for these and other new varieties, 
The colors are taken from Ridgewayts chart for the first description, and are intend- 
ed only for those who want exact colors, The second one gives the general color, as 
you see it in the garden. Have not been able to use the Maerz and Paul Dictionary | 
of Color, which is advocated by the Hem, Society, as it has the pure tones, white 
day-lilies do not have these colons, especially in the pink and red shades, ° Ridgeway 
seems tc show tones nearer to their color range. In many instances, I have found 
that the same color name represents a different color in both -charts.:
