REDS and WINES 

CHENGTU—tThis is probably the most beautiful of all 
the original species. Tall and graceful, with a most 
unusual blend of rich red, yellow, and combinations of 
bronze in a velvety sheen hard to describe, and the 
most unusually profuse bloomer. Height 3% feet. 
May and June. 
MICHAEL ROBINSON—This is a deep rich mahogany 
with a lovely velvet texture that looks like real 
satin. The sepals are slightly lighter red. The throat 
is gold shading to real chartreuse at the base. The 
petals are very wide and slightly ruffled. 54-inch 
blooms. Height 4 feet. April, May, June, and again 
in September. 
OLD VINTAGE—This is a tall wine-colored Daylily 
with a yellow throat. Blooms not so large—about 4 
inches—but a most profuse bloomer. Keeps well on 
the hottest days and considered one of the finest for 
color effect. 4% feet. April and May. 
PURPLE SAGE—Deep wine—one of the darkest of the 
purples. The petals are ruffled, with a slightly yellow 
mid-rib and a large golden throat. The 41-inch 
bloom keeps well in our hot sun. Rated as one of 
America’s finest wine-purples. Height 3 feet. April 
and May. 
SANTA MARIA—This indescribable color is wine to 
orchid, ruffled and slightly recurved, keeps perfect 
in the evening, used extensively as a cut flower. Its 
throat is chrome shading to green. Quite the loveliest 
thing in the garden with other colors. 6 to 7 inch 
blooms. Height 3 feet. April, May, and again pro- 
fusely in July and August. 
TEJAS—One of the most intense fiery reds we grow, 
with a small yellow throat. It has a velvety sheen 
that glistens in the sun, and if there ever was a real, 
real fiery red Daylily, this is certainly it; loved by 
everyone. Blooms 4 inches. Heights 3 feet. April, 
May, and June. 
THE DIRECTOR — This huge wide flower with its 
overlapping petals is quite the most stately thing 
imaginable. The petals are fully ruffled and crinkled 
like crepe paper. The color is a rich shade of wine- 
red, not a fiery red, with rich narrow veins of bur- 
gandy. The sepals are a shade lighter and the huge 
wide throat is chrome-colored. This flower will grace 
any garden. Blooms 5 inches across. Height 244 feet. 
May and June.
