NEW MODERN DAYLILIES 
The One Fiower Showing Fastest Growing Popularity—Voted the Most Popular by Increased Orders Year After Year, the 
Schreiner Strain of Oregon Grown Daylilies 
Why this popularity? The Daylily is a perennial that you 
can grow with ease wherever you live. It is adapted to the 
rigors of Northern weather, to the dry atmosphere of New 
Mexico, the humidity of Florida or whatever changeable 
climate the country offers. They do well in soils as diverse 
as lime or acid, in full sun or light shade. They do not 
require a “special spot.” They tolerate mediocre growing 
conditions and respond with amazing performance when 
you give them the best. Unaffected by insects or disease. 
Not only can you grow the Daylily without fuss but you 
can fit them into more situations in your garden than any 
other plant. The graceful plants are bushy to the ground 
with fine foliage that blends well with other plant leaves. 
The flower supreme for the summer garden. ‘Their ability 
to withstand summer’s heat and drought is one of their 
Poised on wiry stem, two to four 
feet tall, blooms are two to eight 
inches in diameter depending on 
variety. Yellow, tan, pink, rose, 
brown, red, maroon, or purple in 
color. These colors are decorated 
with distinctive markings or over- 
cast with dusky halos or are clear 
toned. We have indicated the varie- 
ties whose foliage remains green all 
year by the word “Evergreen.” In 
the South some of these varieties 
are preferred for their foliage effect 
rather than the deciduous kinds. 
We do not attempt to list a long

list of varieties nor do we offer seed- 
lings of questionable merit. We list 
only the finest varieties. Fine varie- 
ties take no more space or care than 
do inferior ones. In the Unofficial 
Evaluation Poll for 1949 conducted 
by The Hemerocallis Society we list 
forty of the first fifty! 
qualities. They will hold their own in competition with 
shrubs like Lilacs, Mock Orange and the like. These shrubs 
make a handsome background for their colorful blooms. 
Useful too, as background plants in the flower border. Won- 
derful companion plantings not only with the perennial 
Phlox but with Delphiniums, Peonies, Iris, Chrysanthe- 
mums, Roses and Clematis. They are splendid, too, as 
foundation material, to fill in that hard to fill spot. Won- 
derful for naturalizing. After the first year they will hold 
their own along creeks or ponds, slopes, knolls, to mention 
but a few usages. You will enjoy them indoors, too, as cut 
flowers.

BLACK JEWEL (Vestal 1950) ML. 38”. 
A striking dark variety, silky and glossy, dark maroon- 
red with a highlight that looks really black and gives 
the flower a very rich appearance. For so dark a color 
it is very lively. The flowers are good sized and recall 
the form of Black Cherry but are deeper colored and 
broader petaled. It is the finest dark colored “black” 
we have seen. $5.00 
KIM (Schreiner 1950) ML. 38”. 
For novelty of coloring the brown blooms of this per- 
sonable Daylily are certainly most noteworthy. A result 
of crossing Black Falcon with Minnie, the smoothly 
colored, unveined blooms are a rich shade near cor- 
dovan-brown. A medium sized flower on a good stem 
with moderate branching. A novel, different Daylily. 
We have kept this variety under test a long time to 
enable us to compare it with every variety of like color 
and a fine stock allows us to offer it at this modest 
price. $3.00
