PRICE LIST FOR SPRING, 1950 
J.B.S. Norton, 4922 Fortieth Piace, Hyattsville, Md. 
Prices are for divisions shipped prepaid on orders of 
$2.00 or more; 25 cents extra for smaller amounts. Prices 
10% less for delivery at the garden or on orders of $10 or 
more. When the supply is ample divisions have 2 or 3 
fans: in scarce kinds, one or two. With an extra good 
new kind, a small clump that has never been divided 
might be worth several hundred dollars, as it is the only 
plant of that kind in the world, and many people may 
want one, The price will go down according to the 
demand, and the number of divisions that may be made. 
Each week in the blooming season, the best of each 
kind and color is marked with a * and a few of these 
with * *, as the cream of all. These marks of quality are 
given in the list below. Those that do not get a * for at 
least one week are discarded. A star after the name indi- 
cates one of the list of 100 most popular in 1949 yearbook 
of THS p. 130. 
Figures give height in feet. Celare are approximate. 
Daylily colors vary with light, temperature, moisture and 
time of day. 
Let me know what to do if ! am out of some you 
order as the supply of some kinds is quite limited. I may 
be able to send a similar better one. There are several 
hundred newer, better daylilies in the garden in too small 
number to list. What do you want? I might spare a few. 
Daylilies succeed under a great variety of conditions. 
They bloom for two to six weeks, from spring to late fall, 
nearly all colors and color combinations except blue and 
white. They are hard to kill. Favored planting times are 
April and August, or just after blooming. They are 
usually at their best the third year after planting. 
Visit our Garden about May 20 to see most early kinds 
in bloom; June 10 to 20, to see the Japanese Iris Garden. 
July 10 is the peak of bloom for the hundreds of kinds of 
summer blooming daylilies, and soon after, Lilium su- 
perbum, wild among the iris. In mid-August our new late 
hemerocallis hybrids are in flower. But a visit each 
month from March to November is needed to see all our 
2,700 kinds of plants in bloom. There are near 600 named 
kinds of daylilies, and thousands of unnamed hybrids to be 
seen; also all kinds of plantain-lilies (Hosta, Funkia), fine 
shade flowers. These iris are good for wet, acid land; 
come and get them while in bloom.
