Daylilies (Hemerocallis) 
DAWN PLAY (Nesmith, 1938) Each $2.00 
An open flower of deep velvety rose, illumined by a golden 
heart. Very tall and stately it has a resplendent beauty that 
stands out in the garden. When established it throws second 
blooming stalks late in the season. 50 inch. July, August. 
DELIGHTFUL DUET (Bechtold, 1943) Each 50c, 3 for $1.00 
28 in. M. Reds and yellow bicolor (petals red, sepals yellow). If 
planted in spot where it can enjoy full forenoon shade with 
afternoon sunshine it creates a gorgous clump. A vigorous July 
bloomer. 
DESERT SUNRISE 
DESERT SUNRISE (Bechtold, 1949) Each $5.00 
46 in. M. Here is a worthy newcomer, almost a self in effect. 
The petals are sunstone orange and the sepals chrome orange. 
at close view, when facing the sun, it glitters as if sprinkled 
with gold dust. It blooms over a long period, starting in mid- 
summer and holds up beautifully under intense sun. Flower 
stalks stand well above foliage and attain a height of 46 inches 
only after it has become established. It is a real treasure. 
D. D. WYMAN (Betscher) Each 50c, 3 for $1.00 
44 inches. One of our largest and finest daylilies. The individ- 
ual flowers measure 6 inches across and the plant being loaded 
with blooms. The color is deep, rich golden yellow, with a brick 
red spot on each petal. July and August. 
DIXIE BELL (Russell) Each $2.00 
A deep rosy red, slightly recurved with a rich yellow green 
throat. Height 4 ft. July. We like this one as it is quite showy. 
DOLLY VARDEN (Nesmith, 1939) Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Open full flower of Chinese coral pink with lines of rose on 
petals and sepals blended into a creamy yellow throat. June, 
July. 3% feet. 
DOMINION (Stout) Each $2.00 
Extra large full flowers of rich red coloring in concentric three 
toned pattern. When established, it often throws second bloom 
stalks. 38 inches. July. 
DOROTHEA (Lester) Each $3.00 
Very attractive and different. The 6-inch flowers have a soft, 
unusual, and very beautiful coloring which gives an _ orchid- 
lavender effect. The petals have a light yellow ground color 
which is flushed with heliotrope and also have a deeper helio- 
trope eye zone; the sepals are pale yellow. Deciduous. 2% to 
3 feet. 
DR. SLAUGHTER (Russell, 1947) Each $2.00 
Evergreen. A fiery red daylily with an orange stripe through 
each semi-recurved petal, and a small orange throat. 34-inch

DUMORTIERI (Species) Each 35c, 3 for 90c 
Orange shaded brown on outside; early blooming. 
EDITH RUSSELL (Russell, 1946) Each $2.00 
The color is a shade of yellow—not chrome, cream, nor lemon, 
but exactly the color of sulphur with rose veins, profusly ruf- 
fled. The huge open throat is a slightly deeper shade of sul- 
phur. Sepals are the deepest rose sprinkled with gold dust. It 
has a heavy leathery texture. Blooms 4% inches. 3 feet. June. 
ELAINE RUSSELL (Russell) Each $1.00 
Tall salmon. 
EVANGELINE (Russell) Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Petals are rosy red, almost an old rose, with a deep wine to 
purple eye zone. The sepals are just a bit lighter in color and 
the flowers are decidedly twisted, giving it quite an orchid 
shape. A most unusually profuse bloomer, 5 to 6 inches across. 
Height 3 feet. Blooms in May and again in late summer. 
FAVORITE (Bechtold, 1946) Each $2.00 
Each $1.00 
20 in. KE. Large, early gaily colored tones in bright red. Makes a 
showy clump just after the iris have finished. Vigorous. 
BRE REY 
FIREFLY (Bechtold, 1943) Each $2.50 
24 in. E. Here is an unusual gem—A brilliant red effect on wiry 
stems, blooming June. Flowers somewhat small but many of 
them. Plant in semi-shade. One of my favorites in thousands to 
choose from. 
FLAME FAGOT (New name for Flame) (Bechtold, 1946) 
Each $8.00 
28 in. M. In late June this orange-red self, when established, is 
a picture. Does equally well in partial shade or full sun. 
FLAMING SWORD (Russell) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.00 
Deep fiery red, not as dark as mahogany, with an indescribable 
velvety sheen. Very free flowering, and because it is low-grow- 
ing it looks like a small shrub when in full bloom. It has a 
beautiful chrome throat and is an excellent subject as a cut- 
flower. Flower 3% inches across. 2 feet. June.
