MRS. B. F. BONNER (Russell) Each $1.00 
Many times I have heard experts say, when looking over a 
block of Daylily Hyperion, that we may as well quit working 
to get a better pale yellow. But in this Hemerocallis we have 
produced one that is far superior, we think, in many respects. 
Its color is that of Hyperion but it blooms about a month ear- 
lier, has much better texture, keeps far better in the evening, 
has a longer blooming season, and is more profuse. The foliage 
is beautiful and the bloom 6 inches in diameter. June. (Origi- 
nator’s description.) 
MRS. CHAS. F. URSCHEL (Russell) Each $1.00 
A two-tone lemon by the fact that its almost solid self has a 
faint trace of gold. Petals have a tendency to twist. 
MRS. HUGH JOHNSON (Russell) Each $2.50 
Here is another red, a fiery red with a lovely satin sheen. The

Stands our hotest sun and remains open evenings. Small yellow 
throat; bloom 4% inches across. 34% feet. June-July. 
MRS. W. H. WYMAN (Betscher) Each 40c, 3 for $1.00 
42 inches. A very lovely pure soft glistening yellow. Very free 
flowering. July and August. 
MT. VERNON (Russell) Each $1.00 
This lovely full and wide flower is lemon, deeply overcast coral- 
rose; multiplies fast, blooms profusely, and is an excellent keep-

daylilies, here it is. Blooms 5 inches, height 2% feet. June. 
NIAZUMA (Russell, 1946) Each $3.00 
This 41%4-inch bloom has the loveliest shape you could ever 
imagine. Its petals are wide, fully ruffled, and slightly re- 
curved. It is a shade of the richest, brilliant fiery red with 
deeper mahogany veins through the petals. The throat is green 
and the ruffled sepals have a faint lemon edge. A most profuse 
bloomer, admired by all. 3 feet. June-July. 
NOSIESTA (Russell) Each $1.00 
Chrome in color, Nosiesta is aptly named since it never quits 
blooming in our fields. It is a fast grower and a most unusual 
flower. Two blooming seasons here, March and April and again 
in midsummer. Blooms 6 inches and open full. Height 3% 
feet. (Introducer’s description.)

ON TOUR (Russell) Each $3.00 
A giant bloom fully 6 inches across, of the palest yellow. The

ties. Pointed out as a favorite among garden visitors. 
OVERTURE (Russell) Each $1.00 
This is a little light red, multiflora type with a deep red eye 
zone and a green throat. Of all the many hybrids we’ve gotten 
from this wild species, this one is, to be, surely the loveliest 
because it has a shape unlike any of the others. The sepals 
and petals twist as do only the larger types, such as Wau-Bun 
and Emily Hume. 3 feet. June and July. (Introducer’s descrip- 
tion.) 
PAINTED LADY (Russell) Each $6.00 
As if the unusual colors and giant size of this flower were not 
enough to put it in a class all by itself, it has the added beauty 
of unusually deep ruffles on the petals and sepals. The huge 
blooms are 8 to 9 inches across and the color is cinnamon over 
yellow, with darker veins throughout. The throat is coral. This 
one is more stately than any daylily in our field. 3 feet. (In- 
troducer’s description.)
