In selecting these new varieties to introduce, [ only wish that I could 
describe them according to their true merits. No, these are not described well, 
not by any means, because frankly I’m not capable of describing these varie- 
ties that I have chosen this year. I am only doing the best I know how, but 
Pll say this, that they were selected from tens and tens of thousands that I’ve 
been growing for observation, under number. I was asked several seasons ago 
by the greatest authorities on Daylilies to put these on the market, but it 
had never been my policy to introduce a Daylily until I had sufficient stock, 
or thought I did, to list it at a price that everyone could afford. But we issue 
80,000 catalogues, and even with our stock, we don’t always have enough to 
go around. [ was amazed this past season, while visiting other growers, to 
learn that most of them introduce their varieties when they have only one or 
two clumps. I didn’t wonder they had to price them so high. [ personally 
wish to state that all these varieties listed here now are the best I have ever 
offered and their descriptions are certainly understatements, for they are more 
beautiful than I can describe. 
The blooming season given here is for South Texas; for gardeners in the 
North, they will usually be a month later.
