NEW INTRODUCTIONS 
DESERT STAR. Dormant. 
This beautiful creamy buff has a shape en- 
tirely different from other Daylilies. I actually 
believe that if a bloom were taken te any ex- 
perienced horticulturist, he would never recog- 
nize this as a Daylily. It resembles a floret of: a 
huge delphinium. The petals are the widest, 
extremely ruffled, as though you had taken a 
needle and thread and sewed pleats in them! 
Its sepals are recurved and twisted. The flower 
has a tendency to hold its face shghtly upright 
as does no other Daylily, and its rich ereen 
throat further enhances the beauty of this 
lovely buff color. An extremely fast multiplier 
and because we held this plant for a full in- 
crease in stock, we can introduce it at $3.00. 
4-inch bloom. Ht. 24% ft. April, May. $3.00. 
HAPPY DAYS. Evergreen. 
This beautiful 5-inch bloom of the palest 
lemon has a deep apple-green throat. The 
faintest trace of powdered rose on the edge of 
its ruffled petals is hardly discernible; hence we 
are placing it in the lemon eroup. The loveliest 
thing grown in this color, which surely outdoes 
any lemon variety I have ever seen. Ht. 21 6 ft. 
May, June. See photograph on page 10. $3. 00. 
Our Proven § taudlys 
MONTE. Dormant. 
I could never offer this y ariety now at this price 
were it not for the fact that it is such a profuse mul- 
tiplier. [ts fully rounded, wide petals are 6 to 7 inches 
across and extremely ruffled. Alternate petals are 
lemon, the other three being deep rosy brown. One of 
the largest bicolors grown and in great demand. Ht. 
iy April, May, and again July. $3.00. 
SKYLARK. Dormant. 
I could write pages about this one and not say enough. 
It is the most beautiful shade of lemon with thick tex- 
ture and a faint green throat. This tall, erect, 4-foot 
variety carries a multitude of blooms 41% to 5 inches 
across, Slightly recurved, slightly ruffled, and remains 
open until 10 or 11 o’clock at night. It will be many a 
year before it is sur Shoe in beauty and dependability, 
and it is a fast grower May, June. $1.00.
