Other Reds and Wines 
ADAGIO. Dormant. 
An unusual, brilliant red, between a fiery red 
and a black-red, with deeper eye zone. Keeps 
perfectly. Has a small yellow throat, and for 
you who are seeking an outstanding red, this is 
it. 4-inch bloom. Ht. 3 ft. May, June. $1.50. 
NIAZUMA. Dormant. 
This 41-inch bloom has the loveliest shape 
you could ever imagine. Its petals are wide, 
fully ruffled and slightly recurved. It is a shade 
of the richest brilliant fiery red, with deeper 
mahogany veins through the petals. The throat 
is green and the ruffled sepals have a faint lemon 
edge. A profuse bloomer, admired by all. Ht.

RED CINDERELLA. Dormant. 
A brilliant Chinese red, with a satiny sheen 
and an orange throat. The petals of the 41-inch 
flower are wide and ruffled and slightly recurved. 
This is what we'd term a real circus-wagon red, 
and in full bloom it shows off a block away. 
Ht. 214 ft. May, June. $1.50. 
RED MOON. Dormant. 
This lovely deep cinnamon-red, huge, 514-inch 
flower has a deeper red eye zone and red veins 
through the petals, with a beautiful green throat. 
It was completely sold out every season; only this 
year were we able to catch up with the stock. 
No Daylily in its color class has such a glorious 
display of veins. Ht. 3 ft. May, June. $1.50. 
Other Lemons and Yellows 
EMILY BROWN. Dormant. 
A deep yellow Daylily with texture like 
leather and a sheen that absolutely glistens in 
the sun. Its wide, 5-inch bloom is really breath- 
taking, and I am proud to be responsible for 
the introduction of this jewel of jewels. Ht. 3 ft. 
May, June. $3.00. 
GOLD MEADOWS. Dormant. 
Stiff petals of a leathery texture, light canary- 
lemon, slightly ruffled. Unusually tall and 
stately. This variety could be used in place of a 
tall shrub, and I have counted as many as 700 
buds on a three-year-old plant. 4-inch bloom. 
Ht. 414 ft. May, June. $1.00. 
MARY GRAVES. Dormant. 
This big, full, 6-inch, creamy buff flower was 
named for the past President of the Houston 
Federation of Garden Clubs and well merits 
that honor. Slightly ruffled and recurved. Ht. 3 ft. 
June, July. $1.00. 
NOSIESTA. Evergreen. 
Nosiesta is aptly named, since it seems never 
to stop blooming in our fields. It really has more 
than two blooming seasons here. The plant is a 
fast grower and has a most unusual deep yellow 
flower, almost chrome color, blending perfectly 
with paler varieties. 6-inch bloom. Ht. 3% ft. 
April, May. $1.00. 
PERSONAL APPEARANCE. Dormant. 
A very late, very profuse bloomer. Its 5-inch 
blooms open full. The petals are pale yellow, 
ruffled, and the sepals are a deeper gold-canary, 
slightly recurved. You’ve wanted a late bloomer 
with large flowers, so here it is. Ht. 2 ft. $1.00. 
More of our older varieties are listed by more 
nurseries than all other plant-breeders’ varieties put 
together. They come to US for our Daylilies. 
RUSSELL GARDENS, SPRING, TEXAS 
QUOTE ME. Evergreen. 
Indeed you can quote me when I say this is 
one of the loveliest of all the giant-flowered sorts. 
Its wide bloom is 8 to 10 inches across, and in 
order to work up a stock, we have had to pinch 
the blooms off in our fields so the customers 
couldn’t see them. An argument invariably 
started when we refused to release it! A solid 
self between deep yellow and light chrome, with 
fairly wide, ruffled petals and slightly recurved 
sepals. Ht. 3 ft. May, June. $3.00. 
SAN PEDRO. Evergreen. 
A beautiful true canary color. Its petals are 
rich canary-gold and its sepals slightly deeper. 
Remains open at night and can be used as a 
cut flower until almost midnight. Of the thickest 
texture, with 30 to 40 buds on a stem. 7-inch 
bloom. Ht. 314 ft. May to July. See photo on 
page 10. $1.00. 

THE CHAMP. Dormant. 
This huge, palest of pale yellows has wide 
overlapping petals with a faint shading of rich 
copper that can hardly be seen late in the eve- 
ning. Keeps weil in the hottest sun and blooms 
profusely. Ht. 3 ft. April to June. $1.00.
