*The varieties marked with an asterisk are deciduous 
The three beautiful Daylilies, Mrs. John J. Tigert, Kanapaha 
and Welaka, originated by John V. Watkins of the University 
of Florida, are still undisputed favorites on our list. See de- 
scriptions elsewhere on this and following page. 
Anna Betscher.* (Betscher.) Medium-sized flowers with finely 
fluted, recurving petals of rich orange-yellow. 
Aureole. Deep golden yellow flowers borne in clusters. Both inner 
and outer petal segments are pointed, making a star-shaped bloom. 
Early. 
Bagdad.* (Stout.) The large flower—a rich combination of orange, 
coppery red and brown—is very handsome. Blooms profusely, 
sometimes over a three-months’ period. In Florida this variety 
is exceptionally vigorous and is heartily recommended. : 
Bijou.* (Stout.) A branched and spreading hybrid of Multiflora 
parentage. The small flowers, borne in clusters, are orange over 
cast with a fulvous red. Late. 
Boutonniere.* (Stout.) Distinctly small and late. The over- 
lapping petals are a pale rosy peach with a lighter midrib; sepals 
almost clear yellow. Combines well with late asters and chrys- 
anthemums. 
Cinnabar. (Stout.) Medium-sized, fragrant flowers with recurving 
rosy brown petals sprinkled with cinnamon; throat of clear glisten- 
ing yellow. Midseason. 
Dauntless. (Stout.) Large, fragrant flower with broad, overlapping 
petals of pale cadmium-yellow with a faint fulvous flush on each 
petal. The throat is tinted green, making a color harmony that is 
unusually lovely. Midseason. ; 
E. A. Bowles.* (Perry.) A very beautiful flower, blending pale 
gold with deeper shades to a reddish orange. The petals are very 
narrow, pointed, and wide apart, giving the flower a star-shaped 
appearance. Early. 
Emily Hume. (Hume.) Selected for the excellence of its behavior 
under Florida conditions. The variety is characterized by a heavy 
fibrous root system, extreme robustness, evergreen foliage, and 
tall, branching scapes. The orange-yellow flowers have petals 
that are twisted, curled, pinched at the tips, making them most 
decorative in the garden or as cut-flowers for daytime arrangements 
George Yeld.* (Perry.) Flowers large and open with petals of a 
pale fulvous coloring; throat and sepals gold. Very lovely. Mid- 
season. 
Goldeni. (Betscher.) A narrow-leaved, semi-dwarf sort with 
shining deep orange flowers. Midseason. 
Hyperion.* (Mead.) Very large, heavily fragrant flowers of a pale, 
luminous canary-yellow. Petals are broad and crinkled. The love- 
liest of the light yellows. Midseason. 
J. A. Crawford. (Betscher.) Very tall bloom-stalks with hand- 
some, wide-open flowers of a clear shade of light yellow, deepening 
in the throat. A strong grower with a long blooming period.

EW perennials are more adaptable to Florida 
gardens than are the modern Daylilies. Not 
only their brilliant coloring, but their fra- 
grance, their unusual hardiness and their long 
blooming period make them indispensable for 
garden use. In recent years, enthusiastic growers 
have developed new strains which vary in color 
from palest yellow to deep vermilion. 
Set the plants at least 2 feet apart. They can 
be grown with ease in full sun or partial shade, 
with the exception of those having red tones. 
These varieties have much better and more 
typical color when grown in partial shade. Day- 
lilies are not particular as to soil, provided that it 
is well drained. They benefit from occasional 
feedings of fertilizer but need very little care. 
Plants vary in height, in color and in blooming 
season and can be used in many ways. They are 
at home in the perennial border or in the shrub 
planting. You can find a place for Hemerocallis 
in your foundation planting, or you can use them 
in great borders in your garden or as accents with 
other perennials. Our list of plants is truly 
representative of the best kinds obtainable. 
(Watkins.) The latest, and in his own words, the 
Kanapaha. 
best of the Daylilies originated by John V. Watkins. The blooms 
of clear cardinal-red are distinctive in that all of the segments are 
self-colored. There is no eye zone of deeper tone and there is no 
midrib of lighter value. Kanapaha blooms a month before closely 
comparable varieties that grow in the Daylily Display Gardens at 
the University of Florida. 
Linda.* (Stout.) The fluted golden petals are flecked with cinna- 
mon, contrasting with the creamy yellow sepals. The throat is 
shaded rose, giving a bicolor effect. A very beautiful variety. 
Midseason. 
Midas.* (Stout.) Tall stalks bearing flowers of a clear, uniform, 
glowing orange. Rather early. 
Mikado. (Stout.) This has long reigned as one of the top-ranking 
varieties the country over, and here in Florida it has firmly en- 
trenched itself as a garden favorite. The great maroon eye zone 
that marks the center of the orange flower makes Mikado out- 
standing in the genus Hemerocallis. 
Minor.* A dwarf, grass-leaved species with clear light yellow 
blooms. Fine for low borders and rock-gardens. Early. 
Modesty. (Betscher.) Tall-growing, blooming in May and often 
again in late July and August. The cup-shaped flowers are fra- 
grant and of a delicate, often transparent, texture. The reflexed 
petals are the palest lemon-yellow. 
Mrs. A. H. Austin.* (Betscher.) Flowers of a deep, clear orange. 
One of the best of that color. Midseason. 
Mrs. John J. Tigert.* (Watkins.) This Daylily received ‘‘First 
Class Certificate’ at the National Daylily Show in Orlando, Florida. 
For description see inside back cover. 
Mrs. W. H. Wyman. (Betscher.) The spreading, recurving flowers 
are a light shining yellow. Fragrant. Midseason.

waxen yellow. 
June and July. 
Pale Moon.* (Cleveland.) A sturdy, tall-growing variety of excel- 
lent form that bears flowers of the palest lemon. Although this 
Daylily falls into an already overcrowded class of midseason yel- 
lows, it has a host of admirers. 
Parthenope. (Miiller.) An Old-World variety that has been seen 
in gardens for many years. Tall, upstanding, well-branched 
stalks, with attractive evergreen foliage, this Daylily is a “‘must”’ 
with those who admire the rich orange-yellows. Midseason. 
Patricia. (Stout.) A large, fragrant flower of pale, clear yellow 
with greenish throat and wide overlapping petals. Sun-resistant 
and good in the evening. Dr. Stout says of it, “‘I evaluate Patricia 
as of the best of the present named yellow Daylilies.’’ Midseason. 
Semperflorens. (Van Tubergen.) This European Daylily is of 
year-round value in Florida gardens because of its evergreen 
foliage and long blooming period. Flower-stalks are widely 
branched, carrying many trumpet-shaped blooms of deep yellow.
