FAIRMOUNT GARDENS 29 
SAFFRON 39-23 (Nesmith 1940) Saffron yellow self with a 
full halo of brilliant zine orange. The petals are slightly 
twisted as in Wau-Bun. Very colorful with great garden 
value. Plant near Satsuma, China Sea, and Summer Gold 
for lovely gradation of color. July-Aug. 38 in. $2.50 
SAN TOY 45-30 (Nesmith 1948) Neat and trim, the full 
small flowers are deep rubient in color. A self with heavy 
substance, and very fine branching, it is especially nice for 
flower arrangement as well as in the garden. July-Aug. 
38 in. $6.00 
SATURN (Stout 1937) A multiflora hybrid with many clus- 
tered flowers of dark orange red blending into a yellow mar- 
ginal band. Slender but strong stems. 48 in. $2.00 
SATSUMA 39-30 (Nesmith 1940) A very delicate apricot 
flower with flaring slightly recurving petals, the halo flushed 
a deeper apricot buff. The flower has an opaque frosty sheen 
tinted with the faintest pinkish apricot near the throat. 
Aug. 40 in. $3.50 
SHADOW ROSE 41-121 (Nesmith 1945) Firm compact 
flowers of rosy pink shadowed by deep rose in the center, 
giving a rose pink effect in the garden. Tall, well branched 
and late blooming. Aug.-Sept. 40 in. $6.00 
SIENNA 38-290 (Nesmith 1940) A bell shaped flower with 
petals and sepals recurved, frilled and almost ribbed. The 
yellow background is flushed apricot orange with very little 
yellow showing in the cup. Aug.-Sept. 38 in. $3.00 
STARLIGHT (Nesmith 1937) One of my earlier jntro- 
ductions which was withdrawn to increase stock but now we 
offer it again. A tall well branched pale yellow with the 
petals nicely fluted and sepals smoothly finished. Sweetly 
scented. July. 40 in. $5.00 
STARSONG 41-49 (Nesmith 1943) In 1943 the demand for 
this variety was so great that we had to withdraw it from 
the catalogue in order to increase stock, but now we have 
sufficient stock to list it again. The flowers are neat and 
trim with sepals of pale salmon and petals of a deeper tone. 
Over all there is a lustre that gives a luminous glow to the 
whole flower. A gem for the rock garden. July. 12 in. $10.00 
SU-LIN 40-215 (Nesmith 1941) The name is Chinese and 
freely translated means “a little bit of something precious,” 
therefore it seems a fitting name for this lovely bi-color of 
pale mauve and creamy yellow. The flowers are open and 
flaring with petals of orchid pink and sepals of light yellow. 
July-Aug. 35 in. $4.00 
SUNRAY 38-200 (Nesmith 1941). Deeper in color than Moon- 
ray, but equally lovely, this smoothly finished flower of apri- 
cot yellow has a purple zone in the throat and is a good 
companion for the paler Moonray. July-Aug. 36 in. $3.00 
SWEETBRIAR (Nesmith 1938) Lustrous flower, larger in 
size and much better formed and branched than Fulfa rosea. 
The fresh pink petals and sepals are well reflexed showing a 
delicate yellow cup. The perfection of form of the flowers 
lends added charm to this lovely hemerocallis. 40 in. $4.00 
TA MING 45-35 (Nesmith 1948) Rarely does one see a 
hemerocallis with more perfect form and finish. The full 
orange-buff flowers (deep Ta Ming in the color chart) have 
evenly fluted edges on both petals and sepals, and with such 
heavy substance that the blooms stay firm and fresh through- 
out the day even in hottest weather. The exterior of the 
buds is unique and very attractive with their bright green 
tips in contrast to the brilliant orange. Medium in height 
and free flowering. July-Aug. 35 in. $8.00 
TARUGA (Stout 1943) Charming and delightful is this pale 
yellow with wide open flowers abundantly produced on tall 
well branched scapes. The petals are twisted at the tips as 
in Wau-Bun. July. 40 in. $3.00 
TAPERLIGHT 40-439 (Nesmith 1947) Cream in color, this 
floriferous hemerocallis is especially good for the front of the 
border. The flowers are large, and very well formed with lush 
green foliage coming up above the lowest flowers. Landscape 
architects say it is especially valuable for garden effect. July- 
Aug. 36 in. $3.00 
THE SULTAN 39-185 (Nesmith 1944) Very dark red with 
a gold throat. The color in Ridgway is burnt lake, but the 
flat finish in the color chart gives no idea of the depth of 
color and velvety finish of this deep red. A self with broad 
compact petals and sepals. July-Aug. 36 in. $7.00 
THUNDERHEAD 47-1 (Nesmith 1948) As the name im- 
plies, this is a very dark hemerocallis. A self with full open 
flowers of velvety red, flushed almost black, with very little 
deep yellow at the center of the bloom. In spite of the depth 
of color there is a lustrous sheen that makes it stand out in 
the garden. Very well branched sturdy stalks. July-Aug. 
40 in. $10.00 
TOKAY 40-364 (Nesmith 1943) Large open flower of sal- 
mon with a deeper pink zone on the petals. The petals and 
sepals are medium in width and the blooms give the effect 
of flaring lilies. The stalks are widely branched. A hemero- 
callis that has great garden value for its late blooming season. 
Aug.-Sept. 50 in, $4.00 
TRACERY 39-70 (Nesmith 1944) A very full broad petaled 
flower of pale Chalcedony yellow with a delicate lace like 
tracery of salmon buff in the center of the open cup shaped 
bloom. Lovely and delicate in color, but with exceptionally 
firm substance, and sturdy well branched stalks, this hemero- 
callis always attracts visitors. Aug. 40 in. $4.50 
VESPERS 388-161 (Nesmith 1941) There is a quiet elegance 
about this very pale cream that gives it great distinction 
and beauty. A deftly turned bloom of extremely heavy sub- 
stance and open flaring form with petals and sepals lightly 
ruffled at the edges. The flowers open late in the afternoon 
and remain fresh during the next day. When plants are 
established they throw second bloom stalks lasting into 
September. July-Sept. 39 in. $5.00 
WINDSOR TAN 41-63 (Nesmith 1948) There seems to be 
great interest in new and unusual colors in the hemerocallis, 
and this brownish bicolor of Windsor Tan and buff yellow 
has impressed many as being very distinctive. The petals 
are broad and firm of glowing golden brown with sepals of 
yellow lightly flushed with warm sepia. Not tall, but unique 
in color and free flowering it is most effective in the rock 
garden or front of the border. July-Aug. 28 in. $8.00 
ZOUAVE (Stout) A red bicolor with petals rich fulvous red 
and sepals lighter and a deeper mid zone on the petals. Often 
reblooms in September. Good in the evening. June-July. 36 
in. $1.50
