Deep Red, Maroon, Wine and Purple Shades 
Mr. Wheeler has been especially successful in obtaining the very 
deep rich colors approaching purple and blackish maroon. We suggest 
you try these for a real daylily surprise. 
AMHERST. A large, beautifully formed flower with purple petals bisected 
with cream white lines. Yellow throat. Scapes 42” tall with up to 38 
flowers. $10.00 
BACCHUS. Raspberry-violet. See description under 1950 Introductions. 
BLACKHAWK. A deep chocolate-maroon flower with golden throat. Chal- 
lice shaped with wide petals. Scapes 36”, early midseason. One of 
our favorites in the deep tones. Recommended. af 84.00 
BRANDYWINE. A rich garnet-mahogany flower with purple eye zone, 
orange throat. Opens flat with wide segments. Sepals recurve behind 
overlapping petals with twisted tips. Becoming more popular each year. 
Height 32”. $3.00 
CHANTICLEER. A bright crimson self with a violet sheen. Throat and 
petal midribs are orange. Gracefully formed. 30” tall. Midseason. $3.50 
DUNCAN. We think this the best large, early flowering deep red daylily. 
Should be in every collection. A border of Duncan was stunning here 
this season (1949). 36” tall, very early, flowers to 6” in spread. $2.00 
MOHAWK. A most effective deep maroon-purple flower. Medium in size, 
star shaped, with segments recurved on tips. Midseason. $4.00 
MUSCAT. A very deep mahogany purple flower with almost black shad- 
ings at the eye zone and throat. Over 3’ tall, well branched, with 
medium flowers at midseason. $6.00 
NIOBE. Violet magenta. See 1950 Introductions for description. 
ROYAL LADY. A butterfly like flower with intriguing form. The petals 
are flaring and pinched at the tips, violet-purple shading lighter at the 
edges. The recurved sepals are in lighter violet tints. We like this 
very much. 38”, late midseason. $5.00 
RUBY SUPREME. A show winner and a leading ruby red. Its garnet to 
ruby flowers are very large with fine full form, carried on medium tall 
scapes with up to 45 flowers. A collector’s item. Late midseason. $3.75 
VEGA. An elfin flower in purple dress which looks right up at the garden 
visitor. Planted with Demi-Tasse and Ming Toy it completes the rock- 
ery picture. $2.50 
Bicolors and Patterned Flowers 
BILLIE BURKE. A large, tall and striking bicolor. Rosy-red petals, yel- 
low sepals. Flowers long lasting on 45” stems. Midseason. $4.00 
BOBOLINK. Dainty purple-yellow bicolor. Overlapping petals almost hide 
the sepals. Stems 45” tall with many flowers. Recurrent in south. 
Color best under very hot conditions. Some of our best new seedlings 
are from Bobolink. $6.00 
CORNELL. Crimson-yellow bicolor. See description under 1950 Introductions.

nounced midribs of orange. A striking color combination. Has had as 
many as 46 flowers on 42” scapes. Rather late. $5.00
