RUSSELL FIRSTS 
e First to issue an all-color catalog of Daylilies 
exclusively. 
e lirst to produce a Daylily (Queen of Gonzales) 
that would stay open all night. 
e First to plant as many as 10,000 Daylilies 
(over 100 varieties) for one private estate. 
We planted 33,000 on seven private estates. 
e First in putting the new Daylilies before the 
public—over $100,000 spent for advertising 
and catalogs. 
e Kirst in sales—over 150,000 people have re- 
quested our catalog. 
Daylilies 
as Cut Flowers 
No garden subject is so satisfactory as the 
Russell Daylilies for cutting. After the stalks are 
placed in water they will last two or three weeks 
in the house and almost every bud will open. 
This makes them extremely useful for the dinner 
table, as our new varieties remain open so much 
longer in the evening. There is a fresh supply of 
newly opened blooms every morning for quite 
some time.
