Gentlemen; 
This is by no means a routine list I am sending at this time. I am offering 
here twenty-two varieties, among the best Daylilies grown in my field, but only to 
about one-tenth of our regular mailing list, because at these prices there won't 
be enough to go around, but we want more people in the several sections of our 
country to know more about the Russell Daylilies. This offer cannot last and is 
void after March 15th, 1948. : 
I have received thousands and thousands of letters from people asking when 
the new Daylilies will be priced so everybody can afford them, and my answer now 
is that we've taken in five more acres, making a total now of fourteen solid acres 
in Daylilies, and we selected these better varieties and propagated them with all 
the skill and knowledge that we professionals could muster, and now we believe 
these prices will herald a new day for America in Daylilies. Nothing in this list 
will be priced at more than $1.00. They are our best. 
These were all introduced by us, and we know them to be excellent hardy-proven 
and abundant-blooming stand-bys, and now at these prices, you can afford to plant 
them single or in groups of three to five of a single variety making real perma- 
nent color effects at these unheard-of low prices, but this offer now is made with 
the strict understanding that we reserve the right to refund your money, or any 
part thereof, in case the stock is sold too low on certain varieties. Order now 
and avoid disappointments. 
We are issuing no new color catalogue until fall, 1948, because most of you al- 
ready know of our unusual color breaks in Daylilies, ‘and we don't think it is nec- 
essary to spend another eight or ten thousand dollars on color catalogues at this 
time, but be prepared for the loveliest catalogue on Daylilies in America this fall. 
Place your order now for delivery in MARCH for the South, APRIL and MAY for the 
North. State plainly when you wish shipment made. 
Very truly yours, 
A OY Ofu.rtell, 
H. M. Russell
