FAIRMOUNT GARDENS 21

CHANTICLEER (Wheeler 1948) A bright crimson self with

low. Sepals more recurved than the petals. July. 30 ~ 
3.50 
CHIEF FONTENELLE (Sass Bros. 1949) Large broad 
flowers with apricot orange petals and sepals of rich golden 
orange made more brilliant by the darker eye zone. July- 
Aug. 38 in. $3.00 
CHINA SEA (Nesmith 1940) The full compact flowers are 
pale Chinese yellow deepening into a halo of warm salmon 
buff. Firm glistening substance, good branching. July-Aug. 
40 in. $3.00 
CIRCE (Stout 1937) Clear yellow flower of medium size. 
The blooms are well placed on freely branched stalks. Very 
effective in the garden. July. 40 in. $1.00—3 for $2.50

ers on well branched stalks. Very free flowering. July-Aug. 
40 in. 0 
COPPER COLONEL (Sass Bros. 1948). Large recurving 
flowers with a yellow undercolor, heavily flushed with rich 
reddish orange, especially on the petals. Tall and free flower- 
ing. July-Aug. 40 in. $4.00 
CRIMSON STAR (G. Douglas 1950) Large open flower of 
crimson, flushed deeper on the petals and sepals just above 
the gold cup. The brilliance of the flowers is outstanding, and 
it makes a stunning clump in the garden. Mr. Douglas con- 
siders it the reddest hemerocallis he has bred. 15 or more 
buds. Semi-evergreen. July. 386 in. $12.00 
CYCLOPS (G. Douglas 1950) Well named for it is a giant in 
height of stalk and size of the flower. The huge light chrome 
yellow blooms have a reddish cinnamon wash at the center of 
the petals. The leather-like substance of the flowers is the 
heaviest I have ever seen in a hemerocallis and for that rea- 
son it has great possibilities in breeding. Unique rather than 
beautiful, it is a hemerocallis that will interest all hybrid- 
izers. Semi-evergreen. July-August. 60 in. $4.00 
DAILY DOUBLE (G. Douglas 1946) A double flower of at- 
tractive form and color. The flowers are Mikado. orange 
(Ridgway) faintly flushed with a deeper tone. The contour 
of the flower is the same as other hemerocallis, but in addi- 
tion it has three perfect petaloids in the center of the bloom 
as well as stamens and pistil. Usually the flowers that open 
one day are double, followed the next day by some that are 
single, but most of the flowers keep this doubling. A step 
forward toward double hemerocallis. July-Aug. 40 in. $3.50 
DANCING FIRE 47-67 (Nesmith 1949) Medium sized 
flowers of great brilliance and garden value. The undercolor 
is flash red with a deeper red flush extending over the petals. 
Crisp fluting on edges of sepals and petals. Cup of flower 
is chrome yellow. July-Aug. 365 in. $9.00 
DAUNTLESS (Stout 1935) Pale Cadmium yellow with green- 
ish throat and delicate fulvous touch in center of each petal. 
A great garden favorite. 2% ft. July-Aug. $1.00 
DEBONAIR 89-27, (Nesmith 1940) Large spreading blooms 
with recurving segments. The heart of the flower is lemon 
chrome, blending out to salmon pink. Tall and floriferous 
with many blooms on each stalk. July-Aug. 40 in. $2.00 
DEVON CREAM (Nesmith 1945) Few hemerocallis have 
the thick heavy substance of this pale creamy yellow. The 
blooms have wide petals and sepals that are beautifully 
fluted on the edges. Strong sturdy stalks. Withdrawn to 
increase stock, I can now offer it again in limited quantity. 
H.M., T.H.S. 1950. July-Aug. 39 in. $ 
DOLLY VARDEN (Nesmith 1939) Open full flowers of 
Chinese coral with slight lines of deeper rose on the petals 
and sepals. Very floriferous with sturdy stalks. Lovely in 
half shade. July. 40 in. $2.00—3 for $4.50 
DRESDEN DOLL 45-106 (Nesmith 1946) Blended flowers 
with a soft cream background flushed with Salmon buff. The 
substance of the flowers is so crisp and firm that the petals 
and sepals stand out like bits of dainty china. Tall and very 
widely branched. July-Aug. 50 in. $2.00 
DUNCAN (Wheeler 1947) The earliest dark maroon from this 
hybridizer. The flowers are large with medium segments and 
a gold throat. Evergreen. June. 28 in. $1.50 
DUNE SPRITE 45-113 (Nesmith 1950) The soft delectable 
color we find in a sun ripened cantaloupe best describes the 
shade of this large, full petaled flower. The nearest color to 
it is medium Egyptian Buff. A hemerocallis of great charm, 
its beauty seems to be in the soft melon color accentuated by 
the white midrib on the petals, and the clear lemon ice color 
at the heart of the bloom. 20 or more buds. Semi-deciduous. 
July-August. 39 in. $8.00 
EBONY BOY 48-86 (Nesmith 1948) If you desire warm 
rich color for rock garden or front of the border planting, 
I recommend this variety. A late dark red purple self with 
a tiny gold cup. Not tall, in fact almost a dwarf, the well 
formed flowers are medium in size, and in keeping with the 
strong slender stalk. Aug.-Sept. 20 in. $1.60—3 for $2.50 
ETRUSCAN GOLD 45-178 (Nesmith 1950) ~Rich Cadmium 
Orange self with recurved petals and sepals. The smooth 
firm textured flowers are similar in color to Doubloon, but 
when established it is a re-bloomer. Free flowering and good 
branching. 30 buds.Semi-deciduous. Aug. 40 in. $3.50 
FAIRY JEWELS 48-89 (Nesmith 1947) The tallest and 
latest flowering pink that I have seen. The full open blooms 
are between Azalea and Shrimp pink, a self with very firm 
substance, the color is smooth and extends to the center of 
the flower. An added attraction is the splendid branching 
up and down the very tall stalk, and when established, many 
of the branches re-branch. H.M., T.H.S. 1950. Aug.-Sept. 
46 in. $5.00 
FAIRY LUSTRE 47-17 (Nesmith 1948) A full spreading 
flower of light Jonquil yellow, crisped and ruffled at the 
edges. Fragrant, and late blooming, the flowers seem en- 
veloped with glistening frost work, that gives a delightful 
and entirely different effect from any other hemerocallis. 
Semi-evergreen. Aug.-Sept. 40 in. $5.00 
FAR NORTH 45-180 (Nesmith 1946) There is a great de- 
mand for good large flowered light yellow hemerocallis 
for most of our gardens need them to lighten up drab spots 
in late summer to say nothing of their cool refreshing charm. 
The heavy substanced flowers are large and full borne on 
very strong sturdy well branched stalks. Aug. 52 in. $7.00 
FIREBRAND (Stout 1946) Rich crimson red flowers with a 
conspicuous orange throat. The petals of the open flaring 
flower are lightly twisted at the tips as in Wau-Bun. Ever- 
green. June-July. 36 in. $3.00 
FIRE-OPAL 387-40 (Nesmith 1946) A very recurving bicolor 
with the sepals much deeper in color than the petals. The 
petals are deep cadmium yellow with a cream midrib. The 
under color of the sepals is zine orange heavily flushed with 
Carnelian red. Especially good for flower arrangement. July- 
Aug. 38 in. $3.00 
FLAMBOYANT (G. Douglas 1947) The name is most 
descriptive of this stunning hemerocallis. The petals and 
sepals are brilliant deep Indian yellow set off by a bright 
red halo, The gracefully recurving petals and sepals are 
medium in width with heavily fluted edges. The stalks are 
tall and strong. H.M., T.H.S. 1950. July-Aug. 42 in. $5.00 
FLAVINA (Fewkes 1933) A charming flower of bright 
lemon-yellow. Quite distinct from any other hemerocallis, 
and a delightful rock garden subject. 24 in. May-June. $2.00
