HAemerecallis 
One of the most popular perennials of the day, the position of eminence the day- 
lily holds is increasing steadily each season. The flowers range in size from the tiny two 
inch multiflora hybrids to the fullpetaled giants having a spread of six to eight inches 
Their finish varies in many ways. Some appear to be cut from velvet, others are satiny, 
some quite waxy appearing and some so infused with gold dust they appear to be of 
crystalline formation. They also vary in height, ranging from about eighteen inches to well 
over five feet. Through careful selection, you may have bloom in your garden from early 
June until frost. 
We have been hybridizing daylilies since 1936 and have grown several thousand 
seedlings since then. Through the years, some selections have remained outstanding 
each season and have found favor with visitors as well as with ourselves, so we have 
decided to introduce the following varieties and hope that they will also find favor with you. 
1952 INTRODUCTIONS 
CLAIR DE LUNE. (Tompkins 1952) M-L. 36-38 in. A beautifully formed flower with broad 
petals and heavy substance. The petals are full and flat with some recurving at the 
tips where they twist and curl at their points. Sepals are quite broad and follow the 
same lines as the petals which in all gives the flowers a large, full-faced surface, A 
delightful lilt is added by the fluting at the tips of the petals. The color is a deep shade 
of cream which is intensified by a lovely zone marking of pale crystally lemon. The 
plant is very hardy with dark green foliage and strong multiple branched stalks. An 
established plant will often have as high as eight blooms open at once on each

A heavier overlay of blended heather pink and buff completely covers the petals.

is flat and fullfaced with but little recurve to the petals. A deep chartreuse throat 
adds charm. Hardy plants with large foliage and strong, well branched, graceful

RICH HARVEST. (Tompkins 1952) M-VL. 48 in. A very large flower of long tubular, 
lily-like form with extra broad petals and sepals that are heavily ruffled along the

full appearance, even though it is quite long and tubular. The color is a smooth glowing 
orange gold, even to the throat and anthers. Large, husky plants with extra strong
