New (G51 Vuatroductious 
In selecting these new varieties to introduce, I only wish that I could describe them accord- 
ing to their true merits. No, these are not described well, not by any means, because frankly 
I’m not capable of describing these varieties that I have chosen this year. I am only doing the 
best I know how, but Ill say this, that they were selected from tens and tens of thousands that 
I’ve been growing for observation, under number. I was asked several seasons ago by the great- 
est authorities on Daylilies to put these on the market, but it had never been my policy to 
introduce a Daylily until I had sufficient stock, or thought I did, to list it at a price that every- 
one could afford. But we issue many catalogs, and even with our stock, we don’t always have 
enough to go around. I was amazed this past season, while visiting other growers, to learn 
that most of them introduced their varieties when they have only one or two clumps. I didn’t 
wonder they had to price them so high. I personally wish to state that all these varieties listed 
here now are the best I have ever offered and their descriptions are certainly understatements, 
for they are more beautiful than I can describe. 
The blooming season given here is for Texas; for gardeners in the North, they will usually 
be a month later.
