RUTH ZANT. Evergreen. 
This 5-inch flower of light canary-yellow, with 
wide ruffled petals, has a slightly pinched effect. 
The brilliant red of the petal tips runs down an inch 
to the canary-colored throat. We have selected it 
for its intense beauty and profuse bloom. Excellent 
as a cut flower. 5-inch bloom. Ht. 2 ft. May, June. 
$1.00. 
FRANCES RUSSELL. Dormant. 
After many years, I chose this Daylily to name for 
Mrs. Russell. Its wide, overlapping petals are 
palest lemon with a rich overcast of lavender and a 
wide, slightly deeper lavender eye zone and huge 
yellow throat. Sepals are lemon, with a faint laven- 
der edge. The unusual thing about it is that the 
buds begin to open in the evening and remain open 
all night and all the next day until long after the 
next night’s buds have opened, making two complete 
sets of bloom at a time. Its huge blooms are 6 inches 
across. May, June. $3.00. 
LAMARQUE. Evergreen. 
This very wide-petaled, rich buttercup-yellow 
bloom is about 4% inches across. The petals overlap 
and are extremely ruffled. It keeps excellently in the 
evening, making it suitable for a cut flower. Ht. 
3 ft. May, June. $3.00. 
BLACK HILLS. Dormant. 
Really black-red, keeping well and glistening in 
contrast with other colors. A real “honey.” 4-inch 
bloom. Ht. 3 ft. June, July. $1.00. 
MRS. B. F. BONNER. Evergreen. 
This Daylily, in my opinion, beats any pale 
lemon in existence today. It is the color of Hyperion, 
but much larger, with wider petals and better tex- 
ture. It lasts longer in the evening, has a much longer 
blooming season, and is far more profuse in bloom 
than Hyperion. 6-inch bloom. Ht. 2!¢ to 3 ft. 
May, June. $1.00.

, ‘THE DIRECTOR. Dormant. 
A huge, wide flower with over- 
lapping petals, fully ruffled and 
crinkled like crepe paper. ‘The color 
is rich wine-red, not a fiery red, with 
narrow veins of burgundy. The 
sepals are a shade lighter and the 
throat is chrome-colored. 5-inch 
bloom. These flowers are magnifi- 
cent and more beautiful in the late 
evening after the sun has played on 
them all day. Ht. 214% ft. May, 
June. $3.00.
