Black Prince 
BERNICE RUSSELL. Evergreen. 
This huge flower, like Jewell Russell and Rain- 
bow Chaser, is of the same parentage as Painted 
Lady. You all know what Painted Lady is. All 
these plants were originated the same year but 
we considered these three far superior to Painted 
Lady in every way as garden subjects, as well 
as parents for further plant breeding. So we 
insisted on holding them until we had a large 
enough stock to meet the demand, as we’ve never 
had with Painted Lady. We are sure these three 
plants will give a far better account of them- 
selves than did Painted Lady. The color of 
Bernice Russell is what I’d call a most magnif- 
icent shade of rosy cinnamon-yellow bordering 
on brownish but to me far more appealing than 
Painted Lady because it does not have the depth 
of brown. This is the best I can describe it. 
7-inch bloom. Ht. 21% ft. April, May. $3.00. 
BETTY SLICK. Semi-Evergreen. 
This is a real bi-color the size and shape of 
Hyperion, the sepals being the same color as 
Hyperion. The wide petals are a most brilliant 
rosy red. 3 feet. June, July. $1.50 each; 3 for 
$4.00. 
BLACK HILLS. Dormant. 
Really black-red, keeping well and glistening 
in contrast with other colors. A real ‘thoney.” 
4-inch bloom. Ht. 3 ft. June, July. $1.00 
each; 3 for $2.50.

BREEZE. Evergreen. 
Old-rose overcast rich wine; the petals and

CAPTAIN BLOOD. Dormant. 
This plant was sent to several growers in 
scattered areas throughout the United States, 
and the comments it brought were the same as 
from the visitors in our fields —wonderful beyond 
words. Its extremely wide petals, so full they are 
almost rounded, are a beautiful shade of glisten- 
ing velvety red with a slightly deeper, wide, 
rich eye zone blending to a lovely brown-red. 
The sepals are a shade lighter, with pencil veins. 
[ts throat is light chrome, shading to the deepest 
green in the center. The flowers keep far into 
the night. I was determined not to release this 
variety until [ had sufficient stock, regardless of 
much pressure by gardening enthusiasts. Put 
this down as one of my prides. 5-inch bloom.

mer. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
DESERT STAR. Dormant. 
This buff has a shape entirely different from 
other Daylilies. It resembles a floret of a huge 
delphinium. The petals are ruffled, as though 
you had taken a needle and thread and sewed 
pleats in them! Holds its face slightly upright 
as does no other Daylily, its green throat en- 
hances the beauty of this buff. Fast multiplier 
and we held this plant for a full increase. 4-inch 
bloom. Ht. 214 ft. April, May. $1.00 each: 
3 for $2.50)
