across. Ht. 3 ft. March, April. This photograph was taken outdoors and the 
dark center is a shadow from the sun. The true color is solid canary-yellow. $2.00. 
Our Proven S taudlys 
These introductions we believe will remain among the best in America for many years to come. 
They are already proved in every state in the Union and many foreign countries. We never introduce 
a Daylily until we have grown sufficient stock to list it at a price that everyone can afford. This is no 
hobby with us, but our living. Before a variety is introduced by us, the original clump must have 
produced more than 300 blooms by the end of its third season. or it never reaches this catalog. This 
season we have eliminated from our list many varieties introduced by us in the past—some because 
our stock was too low, and many, many others that we simply feel not worth listing because better 
varieties have been originated. Those of you who wish to buy our varieties not appearing in this list 
may write us; in many cases we can supply the plants. 1 am also happy to be able to list again this 
season several varieties that have not appeared in our list for several years, while we renewed our 
stock. 
Our success is due solely to home gardeners. While we are the largest growers of Daylilies in the 
United States, we still do not have better varieties in sufficient quantities to cater to nurseries at 
wholesale. I feel that we’d rather get our prices as cheap as we can to offer to you gardeners who have 
made our business what it is. In making up this catalog, don’t you ever forget that I kept you fore- 
most in my thoughts in offering you better varieties at the lowest prices possible. This I feel is the 
best way to say “thank you” for your confidence in us. We could easily list another 500 varieties of 
Daylilies in this catalog, but we feel that would be just as silly as for an automobile manufacturer to 
go back to offering 1920 model automobiles. You can have better Daylilies now and without paying 
the fancy price charged by some who introduce them when they have only one or two clumps in their 
back yard. We test ours years before offering them. While they are being tested, our stock is being 
grown in sufficient quantities to be priced right. Yes, | actually claim ours are the best varieties on 
earth and offered at the lowest prices.
