HEMEROCALLIS, continued 
Watkins Introductions 
We are indeed proud to have been selected as one of the 
firms to introduce 4 new Daylilies originated by Prof. 
John V. Watkins, and only recently released by the Uni- 
versity of Florida. Prof. Watkins, so well known to all 
Daylily fanciers for his previous prize-winning Hemero- 
callis originations, perfected these new hybrids only after 
years of selective cross-breeding. 
They are so outstanding, so entirely different, that they 
are an absolute “‘must”’ for your garden 
ALLAPATAH. The flowers, produced in mid-April, are 
large (534 inches across), of full form and heavy 
texture. The color approaches mascara 7-L-8* and the 
effect 1s self-colored, since there ts little differentiation 
between the perianth segments of the eye zones. The 
garden effect might approach deep maroon. $3.00 each, 
postpaid. 
JACK ’N JILL. Habit dwarf, excellent for edging Day- 
lily borders. The blooms of the evergreen clone are 
borne early in April; those of the deciduous one follow 
about five weeks later, giving a continuous sequence of 
bloom over a period of about three months. The flowers 
are small (344 inches), of a sprightly red which ap- 
proaches Burmese ruby, 7-H-6%*, self-colored, since there 
is little differentiation between the flower parts. Tex- 
ture and substance are excellent and the color holds well 
during typical springtime weather in northern Florida. 
These seedlings have shorter scapes, smaller blooms and 
flower weeks earlier than commercial varieties with 
which they have been grown for comparison. 
Jack’n Jill are to be sold in pairs only, so that they may 
be planted together as edging plants for spring-long 
garden effect. Per pair only, $3.00, postpaid. 
TAMIAMI. Plant very robust. The flower is large 
(14.5 cm.), spreading, giving a bold day-long garden 
effect, for it does not roll or fade badly in the April sun. 
The sepal is self-colored, Pompeian red 4-J-10*, and 
there is no differentiation of margin or mid-rib. The 
sepal is slightly recurved. The petal, also of self-colored 
Pompeian red 4-J-10, has veining but slightly darker. 
The petal ts very slightly recurved, if at all. $3.00 each, 
postpaid.
