ACIDANTHERA HYBRID 
MELODY (Buch, 1952) 36. The first known hybrid (A. bicolor X 
A. Murielae) to be introduced. Blooms in 90 days, 10 days to 2 
weeks ahead of its parents. Exquisitely fragrant long-tubed 
flowers, pale yellow in bud, but opens 9 white flowers, 3% 
inches wide, with pale yellow back ribs and the typical dark 
chocolate blotches. Very resistant to sun and rain. A decided 
improvement over A. bicolor, more reliable and a rapid propa- 
gator. Excellent for cutting, as the flowers last long, emitting 
their delightful perfume day and night. Foliage partly arching, 
as with some gladiolus. Handle like summer-blooming gladiolus, 
but hold until the ground warms up (corn-planting time). Store 
away from frost. Introductory price, $5.00 each; cormels, $50.00 
per 100, limit. 
DAYLILIES 
If you grow Hemerocallis you will be interested in knowing that 
my TUDAYLILY Hybrids, REPEATER, TUDAY AND TUDOR, whose 
flowers remain open for 48 hours, are being introduced by 
WITTMANS IRIS GARDENS, Van Houton Ave., Clifton, N.: J. 
They bloom from mid-May into June, and again from September 
till frost, and are fragrant. A visit to the Wittman Display Gar- 
den will be a revelation. If unable to visit, write direct for their 
latest price list. Also see The Hemerocallis Society 1951 Yearbook 
for more information. 
HAND POLINATED HEMEROCALLIS SEED 
Because my Tudaylily Hybrids bloom so very early, it was rather 
difficult to introduce new color lines for further development. 
CALIPH, a pale yellow day-blooming seedling of CALYPSO, fol- 
lows the Tudaylilies and | used it as a carrier of the longevity 
characteristic. A cross of CALIPH X REPEATER produced a num- 
ber of seedlings which hold their flowers for 24 hours. | have 
crossed numerous garden varieties with these ‘‘carrier-cross”
