THE WHEELER-DAYLILY CREATIONS 
We are pleased to bring you our 1950 offering of Wheeler Daylily Creations. 
Many of the best of these outstanding hybrids are now at prices within the 
reach of all. Everyone should grow Duncan, the largest of the early flowering 
deep reds. Brandywine, with its unusual garnet mahogany tones, is beginning 
to receive acclaim as it becomes settled in northern gardens. Brilliant red 
Ming Toy we highly recommend for compact growth in the front border or 
rockery. Ruby Supreme continues to hold its place near the top of the list, 
while Halo remains popular for its beautifully formed and banded blossoms. 
Among the new ones which are attracting attention we call your attention 
to Cerise, Naranja, Scarlet Sunset, Martha Washington and Sabrina, each one 
unique in color, form or garden affect, and near the top of its class. 
We predict a great future for the 1950 introductions Psyche and Cornell. 
Some of the best violet and plum tones we have seen are found in Bacchus, 
while Mirage is a most unusual shade of mustard yellow flushed with scarlet. 
Stocks of these new ones are very limited. Better order early. 
PLANTING RECOMMENDATIONS 
Because some gardeners had hesitated to plant southern grown daylilies in 
the north we last year tested several hundred plants under varying conditions. 
Not a single plant winter killed, no matter how exposed and difficult the situ- 
ation, when it was set in the spring and left undisturbed. Losses in fall set 
plants sometimes occurred but we were so impressed with this test that we are 
prepared to guarantee your Wheeler plants winter hardy if they are planted this 
spring and not disturbed. You should give daylilies a sunny position in moist 
firm soil and room to spread out. A little food early in the season and plenty 
of water at blooming time will well repay you in finer flowers. 
Florida grown plants offer you several advantages. They reach you well 
started and ready to grow vigorously. They will flower the first year and some- 
times give two and even three flushes of bloom. By fall you will have a nice 
clump fully established. We recommend Florida stock as your best buy for 
spring planting.
