YELLOWS AND GOLDS, continued 
NOSIESTA. (1943) Evergreen. 
Nosiesta is aptly named, since it seems never 
to stop blooming in our fields. It really has more 
than two blooming seasons here. The plant is a 
fast grower and has a most unusual deep yellow 
flower, almost chrome color, blending perfectly 
with paler varieties. 6-inch bloom. Ht. 31% ft. 
April, May. See page 14 for photograph. $1.00. 
QUEEN OF GONZALES. (1942) Evergreen. 
A huge, wide-petaled, early bloomer, about 
6 inches across. Its color is the deepest gold, 
almost chrome, and lasts longer after being cut 
than any Daylily I have ever seen. The plant 
here is almost a constant bloomer, but its most 
profuse season is April and May. This variety 
and Mrs. B. F. Bonner were listed in the Flower 
Grower, August 1945, as two of the best Daylilies, 
regardless of price. Ht. 3 ft. See page 6 for 
photograph. $1.00. 
SAN PEDRO. (1946) Evergreen. 
A beautiful true canary color. Its petals are 
rich canary-gold and its sepals slightly deeper. 
Remains open at night and can be used as a 
cut flower until almost midnight. Of the thickest 
texture, with 30 to 40 buds on a stem. 7-inch 
bloom. Ht. 314 ft. May to July. See page 19 for 
photograph. $1.00. 
SIDESHOW. (1947) Evergreen. 
Now comes one of the most magnificent buff- 
yellow, extremely wide-petaled Daylilies. Its 
huge, fully rounded, 5-inch bloom is admired 
by every visitor to our fields. Blooms twice, and 
at the second blooming season the flowers have a 
tendency to come double. Ht. 21% ft. April, 
May, and again July and August. See page 13 
for photograph. $1.00. 

SILVER DUST. (1947) Dormant. 
This pale lemon, ruffled and crinkled flower is 
a magnificent thing in an established clump. Its 
wide petals look like crepe paper, and it keeps 
perfectly as a cut flower. 414-inch bloom. Ht. 
Rye April, May. See page 6 for photograph. 
SKYLARK. (1947) Dormant. 
I could write pages about this one and not 
say enough. It is the most beautiful shade of 
lemon with thick texture and a faint green 
throat. This tall, erect, 4-foot variety carries a 
multitude of blooms 414 to 5 inches across, 
slightly recurved, slightly ruffled, and remains 
open until 10 or 11 o’clock at night. It will be 
many a year before it is surpassed in beauty and 
dependability, and it is a fast grower. May, 
June. See page 11 for photograph. $1.00. 
STARS OVER DALLAS. (1947) Evergreen. 
One of the palest lemons, with a cool green 
throat and a green cast over the entire flower. 
Its wide petals are slightly twisted and recurved 
and are of excellent texture. A full 5-inch beauty 
growing 3 feet high. April to June. See pages 4 
and 13 for photograph. $3.00. 
THE CHAMP. (1947) Dormant. 
This huge, palest of pale yellows has wide 
overlapping petals with a faint shading of rich 
copper that can hardly be seen late in the eve- 
ning. Keeps well in the hottest sun and blooms 
profusely. Ht. 3 ft. April to June. See page 18 
for photograph. $2.00. 
TRAIL OF GOLD. (1946) Evergreen. 
See page 4. - 
BICOLORS, COMBINATIONS and TWO-TONES 
FRANCES RUSSELL. (1946) Dormant. 
After many years, I chose this Daylily to 
name for Mrs. Russell. Its wide, overlapping 
petals are palest lemon with a rich overcast of 
lavender and a wide, slightly deeper lavender 
eye zone and huge yellow throat. Sepals are 
lemon, with a faint lavender edge. The unusual 
thing about it is that the buds begin to open in 
the evening and remain open all night and all 
the next day until long after the next night’s 
buds have opened, making two complete sets of 
bloom at a time. Its huge blooms are 6 inches 
across. May, June. See page 19 for photograph. 
$3.00. 
J.T. RUSSELL. (1938) Evergreen. 
Petals of lemon-yellow with deep cinnamon- 
red mark on each one; sepals clear lemon. A 
very profuse bloomer. This one will be remem- 
bered always and is among the favorites of every 
visitor to our gardens. We’ve worked up a huge 
stock of this. 6-inch bloom. Ht. 3 ft. May, 
June. $1.00. 
RUSSELL GARDENS, SPRING, TEXAS 

JUST MARY. (1947) Dormant. See page 4. 
MAMIE LAKE, (1945) Evergreen. 
This grand variety was named for the past 
President of the Texas Federation of Garden 
Clubs and is one of the most unusual color 
breaks ever found in a Daylily. It has a huge, 
7 to 9-inch bloom with petals of the richest rosy 
orchid with a deeper rose eye zone and lemon- 
yellow sepals, with a huge lemon throat shading 
to green. The petals are ruffled and an estab- 
lished clump is very beautiful. Ht. 4 ft. May, 
June. See page 13 for photograph. $2.00. 
MONTE. (1945) Dormant. 
I could never offer this variety now at this 
price were it not for the fact that it is such a 
profuse multiplier. Its fully rounded, wide 
petals are 6 to 7 inches across and extremely 
ruffled. Alternate petals are lemon, the other 
three being deep rosy brown. One of the largest 
bicolors grown and in great demand. Ht. 3 ft. 
April, May, and again July. See page 12 for 
photograph. $5.00.
