DAYLILIES 
Few perennials are more adaptable 
to Florida gardens than are the modern 
Daylilies. Not only their brilliant color- 
ing, but their fragrance, their unusual 
hardiness and their long blooming 
period make them indispensable for 
garden use. In recent years, enthu- 
siastic growers have developed new 
strains which vary in color from palest 
yellow to deep vermilion 
Set the plants at least 2 feet apart. 
They can be grown with ease in full 
sun or partial shade, with the exception 
of those having red tones. These va- 
rieties haye much better and more 
typical color when grown in partial 
shade. Daylilies are not particular as 
to soil, provided that it is well drained. 
They benefit from occasional feedings 
of fertilizer but need very little care. 
Plants vary in height, in color and in 
blooming season and can be used in 
many ways. They are at home in the 
perennial border or in the shrub plant- 
ing. You can find a place for Hemero- 
callis in your foundation planting, or 
you can use them in great borders in 
your garden or as accents with other 
perennials. Our list of plants is truly 
representative of the best kinds ob- 
tainable. 
We cannot ship orders for fewer than 
five (5) Daylilies (either clumps or bibs), 
and we ask the indulgence of our cus- 
tomers in making up their orders. This 
restriction does not apply to customers 
who come to the Nursery for their plants. 
In 1941 we introduced to our Daylily 
public the strikingly handsome Hemero- 
callis, Mrs. John J. Tigert, originated and 
developed by Professor John V. Watkins 
of the University of Florida. This. was 
closely followed by the graceful Swan and 
the following year by Kanapaha and 
Welaka. 
We are very happy to be one of four 
Daylily dealers chosen by Professor Wat- 
kins to introduce his three latest orig- 
inations. The number of available plants 
is very limited, particularly Allapatah, of 
which we can allow only one to a customer. 
Allapatah. A large, strong-growing, free- 
flowering evergreen plant, blooming in 
mid-April and well through the summer. 
The flowers are a very deep maroon-red 
practically self-colored. For us here at 
Glen Saint Mary, Allapatah and Jack’n 
Jill have bloomed over a longer period 
than any other Daylily we list. $2.50 
each, 
Jack’n Jill. A pair of very interesting 
and attractive dwarf-type Daylilies, 
one evergreen, the other deciduous, to 
be planted alternately as an edging to 
the Daylily border. The color is a deep 
ruby-red and the foliage is low and 
spreading. The evergreen clone blooms 
in early April and the deciduous one a 
few weeks later, giving a continuation of 
color over a long period. Per pair only, 
$2.50.

DAYLILIES (Hemerocallis) 
Tamiami. This evergreen plant is very 
robust and multiplies rapidly. The large, 
spreading flower of Pompeian red is 
slightly recurved and gives a fine day- 
long effect, since it does not roll or fade 
in the sun. No other available com- 
mercial clone exhibits the outstanding 
soft pinkish red tone that is the salient 
feature of this selection. $2.50 each. 
Swan. (Watkins.) One of the most 
beautiful of the yellow Daylilies, this 
graceful flower has broadly arched and 
recurved petals of rich orange-yellow. 
It multiplies very slowly, so will always 
be a collector's item. Midseason. A 
limited number is available at $2.00 
each, single bib. 
*The varieties marked with an asterisk 
are deciduous, 
Single Division (Bibs)

growers, the flowers are very large, full 
and widely spreading. The color is a

Chisca. (Fisher,) Evergreen and a true 
bicolor. The petals, of the attractive 
brown known as “mascara,’’ contrast 
strikingly with the sepals which are 
goldenrod-yellow flecked with fulvous. 
Jubilee. While this is not a new hybrid, 
it is a distinct addition to any Daylily 
border. The eye zone marking is similar 
to that of Mikado, but the plant is much 
taller and stronger and blooms several 
times during the season. 
Kanapaha. (Watkins.) The blooms of 
clear cardinal-red are completely self- 
colored. There is no eye zone of deeper 
tone and no midrib of lighter value. 
Blooms rather early.

borne in May, have broad rippled petals 
with an orange throat that fades to a 
rosy fulvous tone on the outer segments.
