NEW CHOICE SCARCE 
1949 Introductions of the Stout Hybrids 
included on this page are being catalog listed 
for the first time. Others were sold low and 
withdrawn from the catalog, but are now re- 
stocked. All remain relatively scarce. All are 
choice and superior. 
Most of these Daylilies bloom earlier or later, 
and longer, than most Daylilies, besides being 
of distinct forms and colors. Descriptions are 
extracts from Journal of the New York Botanz- 
cal Garden. 
CATHAY (1949) 3 ft. July-Aug. Petals are scar- 
let vermilion with crimson veinings and dark 
velvety crimson mid-zone. Sepals are sligiuil, 
darker than the petals, even toned to throat. 
Throat is bright gold. Flowers spread 6” and are 
later than most red and most large flowered day- 
lilies. Scapes are well branched, wiry and stréng. 
Usually two open blooms to each scape, thus 
producing an unusually profuse display of buds 
and blooms. Good evenings. $3.00. 
CHALLENGER (1949) 4 ft. Early July to early 
FANTASIA—3%% ft. 
Aug. A distinct shade of bright cardinal to 
cherry réd. Medium large blooms of broad petals 
with a pronounced, light midrib. Greenish yellow 
throat. Robust and vigorous. Lush foliage. Some 
visitors have classed it as brightest, deepest pink. 
Good evenings. $3.00. 
June, July. Petals and sepals 
are wide, overlapping, with attractive twists at 
tips as in Taruga and Wau-Bun. General color 
is burnt sienna, produced by faint red tints over 
greenish yellow. The red pigmentation increases 
towards tips of petals. The reverse is as showy 
and attractive as the face. Very unusual and 
attractive form and color. George Proctor of the 
New York News says “It vaults into the ether 
instead of being a trumpet on a stick.’’ Good 
evenings. $3.00.

Farr Nursery Co., Weiser Park, Womelsdorf, Pa. — Tel. Womelsdorf 43

Daylily Ming 
MANCHU—3¥%, ft. June, July. Unusual combina- 
tion of peach, buff and gold, to pastel effect, with 
blending and attractive eye-zone in the petals. 
Greenish yellow throat. Medium large flower. 
Extremely many scapes produce very showy 
garden habit. Good evenings. $3.00. 
MING— (1949) 4 ft. Mid-July to mid-Aug. GIANT. 
Wide and full lily recurved peta's to 6-inch 
spread. Deep golden yellow, as rich and clear as 
in Ophir and Majestic, but larger, taller, later. 
Tips and edges of petals fade to white, without 
wilting, by afternoon of hot days, producing a 
beautiful white and gold effect. Fragrant. Good 
evenings. $3.00. 
RED KNIGHT AND RED LADY (1949) 48 and 42 
inches respectively. Early July to late August. 
Two similar scarlet reds for late summer but 
sufficient difference in-height, shading and season 
to justify dual introduction. Almost two months 
of profuse and dependable summer bloom in a 
brilliant new color, by many termed brightest 
pink, and in best of habits including evenings. 
Sold only as a pair. $4.00 for the two. 
SONNY—=3 ft. »July, Aug. Closely related to Patri- 
cia, which it resembles except that it is more 
free-blooming, more branchy, lighter yellow and 
slightly smaller. Equally immaculate, fragrant, 
lily flowered and recurved. Green gold haze in 
throat. Begins to bloom as Patricia ends and con- 
tinues for a month. New b'ooms open during 
the night while old blooms fade. Probably the 
best evening habit of all daylilies. Sold too low 
before the war. $3.00.
