26 FAIRMOUNT GARDENS 

CANDY HEART 39-188 (Nesmith 1947) Charming and del- 
icate in color, this dainty hemerocallis is especially suited 
to front of the border planting or flower arrangement. A 
very pale flesh pink with a well defined halo of Carmine 
rose in the heart of the flower. A thick textured bloom with 
great nicety of finish. Strong sturdy stalks with good branch- 
ing, Aug. 38 in. $6.00 
CHENGTU With the exception of Fulva rosea this species 
is the most attractive of all the fulvous types. Tall stalks 
filled with flowers of blended red, deepening to intense red 
in the throat. 3% ft. Aug.-Sept. $2.00 
CHIANTI 38-19 (Nesmith 1948) A raspberry self with a 
purple effect in the garden. Sepals and petals recurve from 
the tiny yellow cup. According to Ridgway, the color is pome- 
granate purple, but this does not give a picture of these 
medium sized flowers. July-Aug. 38 in. $3.00 
CHLOE (Nesmith 1938) Full ruffled flower with deep yel- 
low background, flecked and powdered with warm golden 
sepia. The darker sepals of burnt orange are most unusual. 
3% ft. Aug. $2 
CIRCE (Stout 1937) Clear yellow flower of medium size. 
The blooms are well placed on freely branched stalks. Very 
effective in the garden. July. 40 in. $2.00 
COLLEEN (Nesmith 1937) Full flowers with a soft buff 
under color flushed salmon on petals and sepals. Open flow- 
ers on well branched stalks. Very free flowering. July-Aug. 
40 in. $2.00 
CORALLINE 37-74 (Nesmith 1940) Large open flowers 
with background of maize yellow flushed with shrimp pink, 
slightly lighter at the edge of the petals and sepals. Twenty 
or more buds. Aug-Sept. 39 in. $4.00 
CROWN OF GOLD (Nesmith 1933) Clear deep orange flowers 
of great beauty. 3 ft. May-June. $1.50 
CRYSTAL PINK (Nesmith 1938) A salmon flower with 
deeper rose halo, and over all a frosty sheen that gives great 
charm to the bloom. Tall and well branched. July-Aug. 42 
in. $4.00 
DAILY DOUBLE (G. Douglas 1946) A double flower of at- 
tractive form and color. The flowers are Mikado orange 
(Ridgway) faintly flushed with a deeper tone. The contour 
of the flower is the same as other hemerocallis, but in addi- 
tion it has three perfect petaloids in the center of the bloom 
as well as stamens and pistil. Usually the flowers that open 
one day are double, followed the next day by some that are 
single, but most of the flowers keep this doubling. A long 
step forward toward double hemerocallis. July-Aug. 40 in. 
$6.00 
DAUNTLESS (Stout 1935) Pale Cadmium yellow with green- 
ish throat and delicate fulvous touch in center of each petal. 
A great garden favorite. 2% ft. July-Aug. $1.50 
DAWN PLAY 37-17 (Nesmith 1938) An open flower of deep 
velvety rose, illumined by a golden heart. Very tall and stately 
it has a resplendent beauty that stands out in the garden. 
When established it throws second blooming stalks late in the 
season. 50 in, July-Aug. $5.00 
DEBONAIR 39-27, (Nesmith 1940) Large spreading blooms 
with recurving segments. The heart of the flower is lemon 
chrome, blending out to salmon pink. Tall and floriferous 
with many blooms on each stalk. July-Aug. 40 in. $2.00 
DOLLY VARDEN (Nesmith 1939) Open full flowers of 
Chinese coral with slight lines of deeper rose on the petals 
and sepals. Very floriferous with sturdy stalks. Lovely in 
half shade. July. 40 in. $2.00 
DOMINION (Stout) Extra large full flowers of rich red 
coloring in concentric three toned pattern. When established, 
it often throws second bloom stalks. 38 in. July. $2.50 
DRESDEN CHINA 40-218 (Nesmith 1943) Smoothly fin- 
ished flower, that in arrangement of colors reminds one of 
dainty Dresden china. The pinkish cinnamon petals have a 
midrib of amber with a halo of orange cinnamon just above 
the lemon yellow throat. The sepals are amber with a 
shining finish. The flower has a crisp cool effect. Lovely for 
flower arrangement. July-Aug. 39 in. $2.00 
DRESDEN DOLL 45-106 (Nesmith 1946) Blended flowers 
with a soft cream background flushed with Salmon buff. The 
substance of the flowers is so crisp and firm that the petals 
and sepals stand out like bits of dainty china. Tall and very 
widely branched. I have found this hemerocallis very valu- 
able in breeding on account of the tall strong stalks and 
splendid branching. July-Aug. 50 in. $3.00 
EBONY BOY 43-86 (Nesmith 1948) If you desire warm 
rich color for rock garden or front of the border planting, 
I recommend this variety. A late dark red purple self with 
a tiny gold cup. Not tall, in fact almost a dwarf, the well 
formed flowers are medium in size, and in keeping with the 
strong slender stalk. Aug.-Sept. 20 in. $4.00 
FAIR MORN 38-164 (Nesmith 1943) One of the first pinks 
to bloom. The color is fresh and clear with sepals of seashell 
pink and petals of Jasper pink. Gives a decided pink effect 
in the garden. July. 40 in. $4.00 
FAIRY JEWELS 43-89 (Nesmith 1947) The tallest and 
latest flowering pink that I have seen. The full open blooms 
are between Azalea and Shrimp pink, a self with very firm 
substance, the color is smooth and extends to the center of 
the flower, An added attraction is the splendid branching 
up and down the very tall stalk, and when established, many 
of the branches re-branch, Aug. into Sept. 46 in. $8.00 
FAIRY LUSTRE 47-17 (Nesmith 1948) A full spreading 
flower of light Jonquil yellow, crisped and ruffled at the 
edges. Fragrant, and late blooming, the flowers seem en- 
veloped with glistening frost work, that gives a delightful 
and entirely different effect from any other hemerocallis. 
Aug.-Sept. 40 in. $8.00 
FAR NORTH 45-180 (Nesmith 1946) There is a great de- 
mand for good large flowered light yellow hemerocallis 
for most of our gardens need them to lighten up drab spots 
in late summer to say nothing of their coo] refreshing charm. 
I have found Far North, a soft Naples yellow, most suc- 
cessful in my own garden. The heavy substanced flowers 
are large and full borne in clusters on very strong sturdy 
well branched stalks. Aug. 52 in. $9.01 
FELICITY 46-225 (Nesmith 1947) The very large full, firm 
textured flowers of light Aureolin yellow are cup-shaped with 
petals and sepals recurving at the ruffled edges. The very 
sturdy well branched stalks have from 35 to 40 flowers, and 
it has the longest season of bloom of any hemerocallis that 
I know. I have used this variety extensively in breeding with 
most satisfactory results, July-Sept. 40 in. $4.50 
FIRE-OPAL 37-40 (Nesmith 1946) A very recurving bicolor 
with the sepals much deeper in color than the petals. The 
petals are deep cadmium yellow with a cream midrib. The 
under color of the sepals is zine orange heavily flushed with 
Carnelian red. The intensity of color, slender form and unique 
shape of the flowers make this variety especially good for 
flower arrangement. July-Aug. 38 in. 
FIRETHORN 45-112 (Nesmith 1946) Medium sized flowers 
of Dragons blood red with ruffled petals and sepals and a 
rich orange cup with red stamens in the center of the bloom. 
Of multiflora parentage it has a myriad of bright red flow- 
ers carried in clusters on slender strong stalks. A bright spot 
of color in late summer. Aug.-Sept. 38 in. $3.00 
FLAMBOYANT (G. Douglas 1947) The name is most 
descriptive of this stunning hemerocallis. The petals and 
sepals are brilliant deep Indian yellow set off by a bright 
red halo, The gracefully recurving petals and sepals are 
medium in width with heavily fluted edges. The stalks are 
tall, well branched, and strong. Free flowering with vigorous 
growth. 42 in. July-Aug. $8.00 
FLAVINA (Fewkes 1933) A charming flower of bright 
lemon-yellow. Quite distinct from any other hemerocallis, 
and a delightful rock garden subject. 24 in. May-June. $2.00
