COPPERPIECE 
BRUNETTE: May, June. 21% ft. Semi- 
dwarf. Throat yellowish orange; mid- 
zone madder brown; outside a lighter 
shade of tan-red, creating a three- 
tone pattern, Small but very full flow- 
ers on much-branched scapes. Good 
evenings. Not a colorful daylily but 
distinct, early, profuse and good for 
garden show if properly placed. De- 
ciduous. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
BUCKEYE: June. 3 ft. Like Mikado 
but bunch flowered and a month 
earlier. Flowers large and full, clear 
deep gold with large and gay red eye. 
Prolific in growth and bloom. Good 
evenings. Deciduous. $1.50 each. 
“Compared to Mikado, Buckeye is bunch 
flowered. Its flowers are held at almost a 
right angle to the scape and are quite re- 
curved, so that one is greeted by a whole 
galaxy of bright eyes. Both are redundant, 
but Buckeye waits until fall and puts on 
the same show it did in spring. Mikado 
strings its blooms out so that it is seldom 
without some. When Buckeye is in bloom 
here, garden visitors seldom see anything 
else.’”?’ Mrs. Alma Stewart, California. 
CATHAY: July, Aug. 2% ft. A low 
growing red. Petals are scarlet ver- 
milion with crimson veinings and dark

toned to throat. Throat is bright gold. 
Flowers spread 6” and are later and 
richer than most daylilies. Scapes are 
well-branched, wiry and strong. Usu- 
ally two open blooms to each scape,

the throat is a rich golden orange and 
there is a delicate blend of coppery 
bronze in the blades of petals and

in the mid-zone of the petals. The 
sturdy and much-branched scapes of 
this clone stand slightly above a 
mound of attractive evergreen foliage. 
Good evenings. $3.00 each.
