DA YLILIES 
Here is a perennial that can “take it” in most any section of the country, and it 
seems to thrive well in lime or acid soil; sandy or clay soil; sun or light shade; hot 
or cold; wet or dry situations. They bloom from midsummer to early fall, a time 
when so few other perennials are in bloom. 
Recent introductions have brought new colors and types that are very appealing 
and they are a distinct break from the common yellow, or orange, that one is apt 
to associate with daylilies. They can now be had in peach tints; pastel tones; blended 
tones or solid colors, from soft yellow to wine red. Some of the two-tone effects are 
really startling revelations of what the hybridizer is able to accomplish. 
The Hemerocallis with its sterling qualities deserves to be placed among our 
finest perennials, and the collection we offer represents some of the very best varities. 
We are growing and testing thousands of seedlings from hand-pollinated crosses. 
Those of outstanding quality will be propagated and added to our list in the future.

INTRODUCING “CH:VALRY” 
A New Red Hemerocallis originated by Mr. David Hall 
We are privileged to introduce this fine red, a variety that hybridizers 
have been seeking for many years. It is a clear, deep, velvety red with 
no midrib variation of color; almost a true red ‘‘self’’ except for a little 
greenish-yellow deep down in the throat. It 1s definitely red, not brown, 
as are so many of the so-called reds. Color holds well in the sun. A 
prolific bloomer. The flowers are medium large on well-branched stems 
of medium height. A good strong grower. Those who visited Mr. Hall's 
garden during the blooming season will remember this variety as the 
beautiful red seedling Number 46-18. $5.00 
August Pioneer (Stout 1939) Blooms from mid-August until October. Grows to a 
height of 36”, Flowers are medium sized and lavishly set on slender, graceful 
stems. Chrome-orange in color, with outer half of petals delicately flushed red. 
Due to the very late blooming habit of this variety it is very much worth while.
