DAYLILIES 
Also known as Hemerocallis. The pre-eminent summer flower- 
ing hardy perennial producing an abundance of Lily-like blos- 
soms on wiry, multitudinous budded stems in every height from 
18 inches to 5 feet! A striking color range from the palest yellow 
through the richest gold maize shades as well as copper, bronze, 
buff, salmon-rose, red, maroon and wine shades with a variation 
in petal formation in frilling and fluting, in many distinct 
pattern markings . . . halos, powderings of gold dust and sepias 
according to the variety. 
No plant is easier to handle. It thrives everywhere and in every 
variety of soil, in sun or shade. Ideal in flower gardens, for cut 
flowers, foundation plantings and naturalizing. Once thoroughly 
established a clump is part of your garden picture for years. 
Varieties will give bloom from early June until frost time in fall 
—and they do not require a lot of fuss or bother. 
KEY TO BLOOMING SEASON: E—early (June); EM—early mid- 
season (June-July); M—midseason (July-August); ML—mid- 
season late (August); L—late (August-September). 
TIME OF SHIPMENT. Shipments begin last week of August 
continuing to November first. No spring shipments.

Certainly two desirable qualities in a good Daylily are free- 
dom of bloom and good sized florets. ‘This burnished bicolor 
of light shaded bronze sepals and rich red bronze petals cer- 
tainly fills these qualifications. In color it recalls Spitfire only 
here we have a flower fully again as large. We have discon- 
tinued Spitfire in favor of this superior variety. It blooms in 
mid-June and off and on all summer. $5.00
