HEMEROCALLIS 
Commonly called daylilies, these plants 
are easily grown and most effective in 
the garden. They are quite versatile, 
lending themselves to perennial border 
plantings, naturalizing in partly shaded 
woodlands, along pools or streams, or in 
the foreground of the shrubbery border. 
Almost any climate is suitable. They de- 
mand neither full sun nor shade, but 
seem to thrive in any atmosphere. They 
come in a multitude of exciting colors; 
from palest yellows to deep glowing 
oranges, with rich shades of golden yel- 
lows, buff, apricot, salmon-rose, pink, 
rose, bronze, copper, red, maroon, near 
purple and wine shades. 
During the hot summer months when 
there is a dearth of bloom, these bright 
stars bring life and gayety to an other- 
wise sun-scorched garden. By planting 
with season in mind bloom can be had 
from early spring until frost. 
TIME TO PLANT—They can be planted 
any time during the year when the ground 
is not frozen, but we find it best to plant 
them in the spring or just after they have 
finished blooming in late summer or early 
fall. 
BLOOMING SEASONS—In selecting 
plants according to blooming’ season, 
please keep in mind that flowers that 
bloom in July here (Tennessee), would 
bloom in August in the North and Midwest 
(lowa), and we are two weeks ahead of 
Indiana. We are about a month later 
than the Deep South (New Orleans). In 
order to get the best results with day- 
lilies that repeat in the late summer or 
early autumn, we suggest fertilizing, cul- 
tivating and watering during dry seasons, 
especially in the South. 
*FREE—On daylily orders of $10.00 or 
over, you may select plants from the 
starred varieties for one fourth more of 
the total of your order as a gift. For in- 
stance, if your cash hemerocallis order 
is $10.00, you may select starred varie-

or money order. Postage is paid on all 
orders over $3.00. Please include 25c 
postage on smaller orders.

healthy stock, true to name, delivered to

assume the responsibility for the growth 
in your garden.

INTRODUCING 
ELMER A. CLAAR DAYLILIES 
We are very proud to have the honor of 
presenting Mr. Elmer A. Claar’s daylilies. 
Although Mr. Claar has been hybridizing 
daylilies as a hobby for many years, this 
is the first time any of his creations have 
been introduced. Mr. Claar has what is 
probably the world’s finest private collec- 
tion of daylilies, and he is most discrim- 
inating in selecting varieties worthy of in- 
troduction. 
Plum Mist—Large open flowers of plum 
color with a smooth velvety finish; deeper 
toned coloring near the contrasting shal- 
low cup of light chrome yellow, which 
gives it a most striking and unusual ef- 
fect. Faintly crinkled edges of petals add 
to its beauty. Retains its rich coloring in 
hot sun. Long season of bloom, with 
flowers well spaced on erect stalks. 
Blooms last of May-June. 40”. __ $20.00 
Chameleon—Small and dainty, this vivid 
Blaze red tones to a delightful, pink with 
the sun. Petals and sepals charmingly
