14 ARVISTA GARDENS 
HEMEROCALLIS 
Our gardens in 1950 should give bloom on scores 
ef the newer varieties which before have not 
bloomed for us. Most of these are among the stars 
that make the Daylily a “must” for every garden. 
Whether for an accented note in the tiny garden, for 
color groupings in those more extensive, or for acres 
of landscaping, they are really wonderful! They are 
exciting material for flower arrangements, and 
many are acclaimed by the corsage makers who 
literally gasp with delight at sight of some of these 
flowers. They have a versatility and beauty, yes, 
even a glamour all their own. Plant Daylilies gen- 
erously and experience a new and thrilling garden 
experience! 
For about June 25 and for the following month 
our gardens will show on each day something more 
than 100 different named varieties in bloom. It’s a 
great show! 
We add annually many new varieties of Irises 
and Peonies, and each season shows a finer display 
of flowers than we have had in any previous year. 
The new Daylilies give us solid colors from soft 
yellow to deep red; two-toned flowers, pastels and 
blended tones. Their habits and character, wide 
color range and varied forms make them perhaps 
the most useful of all perennials. The graceful 
foliage blends well with other foliage, and the 
plants, with little or no care or attention, produce 
their handsome flowers each year. They will trans- 
form many an unsightly view, often in places where 
it is said “nothing will grow.” And the flowers 
are a wonderfully rich addition to materials for 
the finest of flower arrangements. 
“The perennial supreme” that is always a suc- 
cess—no insect pests, no diseases; grows in sun or 
shade, any soil. The different varieties furnish 
bloom from May to October, and even later. Some 
bloom twice, or even three times in a season. They 
frequently bloom the same year they are planted, 
but their beauty increases each season until firmly 
established. 
The Daylily root is “packed with power and en- 
durance; thrives through generations of hot spells, 
eold spells, and dry spells; surmounts neglect; lib- 
erally rewards attention.” 

GLOWING GARNET — (Ashley, 1949. 
Our first Daylily introduction. Bloom- 
ing as a seedling N-2 in our garden for 
the past seven or eight years, it has 
excited the enthusiasm of growers and 
other visitors who have strongly urged 
its introduction. In two tones of garnet 
red, between carmine and victoria lake 
of Ridgeway, the 5” to 6” flowers 
have a greater brilliancy than any other 
red Hemerocallis that we ever have 
seen. The gracefully recurved petals 
have a suggestion of a darker eye- 
zone and a few veins of the same 
darker hue, a yellow midline and lightly 
waved edges shown also by the sepals. 
The throat is light orange yellow to 
greenish. July-August; to 52”)... 7.00 
“‘Glowing Garnet’ is out this morning for the 
first time in my garden. I’m just as thrilled with it 
as I was when I saw it first in your garden. Its per- 
formance is perfect. I had to let you know.”
