UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 
WATKINS INTRODUCTIONS 
' The University of Florida has sponsored a 
- program of daylily breeding for many years. 
Under the able direction of Mr. John \V. 
Watkins, ASsistant Professor of Horticulture, 
much work has been done and some fine day- 
lilies have been developed.. We are proud to 
list them below at the modest prices estab- 
lished by the University. 
ALLAPATTAH E. Re. 36" Ev. 
A very large (5%") flower of heavy texture. 
In color Be Oh eking Mascara (7 L 8) with 
enough suggestion of a darker eye-zone to 
Show kinship with Persian Princess. ‘A real 
contender in the dark maroon field. 1949 in- 
troduction. Each $3. 00 
A self, colored Pompeian Red (4 J 10), of 
large size and good substance. Quite differ- 
ent from any other lily that bloomed in our 
garden at the same time. 1949 introduction. 
| Each $3.00 
JACK N' JILL E-M. Rew [| 4" 
A pair of dwarf clones sold only together 
and designed as edging plants for the day- 
lily garden. The flowers are small (3\%"), 
of sprightly red color, near Burmese Ruby 
(7 H 6). Beginning to bloom in early April, 
they can be counted on for color for most of 
the summer. 1949 introduction. 
Per pair $3.00 
KANAPAHA M. Re. 38" Ev. 
A bright Cardinal Red (5 L 5) with universal 
appeal in the garden. While the flowers are 
not large, on established plants the number 
of blossoms opening at once make it an out- 
standing variety. Each $3.00 
MRS. JOHN J. TIGERT, M. Re. 34" H. 
The first of the Watkins hybrids to be re- 
leased, this variety has great garden value. 
Similar to Rajah, in Florida it blooms ear]l- 
ier and has several periods of bloom during 
a favorable season. Each $1.00 
SWAN L. 30” Ev. 
One of the largest lilies yet introduced. In 
Color near to Calvary Yellow (9 L 7). The 
form is spreading and the carriage of the 
flower on the scape is quite individual. 
Needs protection in cold weather, and for a 
good performance requires heavy feeding and 
water, but is well worth the effort. Limited 
Supply. Each $5.00 
WELAKA M. Rew 34". Ev. 
Blossoms medium sized, of good substance, 
distinctly crepe-like and rippled in tex- 
ture. The color is Mandarin Orange (11 B 2) 
suffused with a rosy fulvous tone. A truly 
gorgeous plant when in bloom. Scapes some- 
What weak but quite worth staking. 
Each $1.00
