EDITH RUSSELL. Evergreen. 
This is the first Daylily I have seen which has 
sepals darker than its petals. Its wide petals 
completely overlap the sepals and a part of the | 
next petal. The color is a shade of yellow I have 
never before seen—not chrome, cream, nor 
lemon, but exactly the color of sulphur with rose 
veins, profusely ruffled. The huge open throat is 
a slightly deeper shade of sulphur. Sepals are 
the deepest rose sprinkled with gold dust, as 
though a jeweler had taken powdered gold and 
done this work. The flower holds up. 414-in. 
bloom. Ht. 3 ft. May, June. $1.00 each; 3 for 
$2.50. 
EMILY BROWN. Dormant. 
A deep yellow Daylily with texture like 
leather and a sheen that absolutely glistens in 
the sun. Its wide, 5-inch bloom is really breath- 
taking, and I am proud to be responsible for 
the introduction of this jewel of jewels. Ht. 3 ft. 
May, June. $3.00 each; 2 for $5.00. 
FAIRYLAND. Dormant. 
A real pink with a buff-chartreuse throat. The

pink. 4-inch bloom. Ht. 3 ft. June, July. $2.00. 
FLAMING SWORD. Dormant. 
Deep flaming red variety, with satiny finish, 
opening wide. Its blooms are small but profuse 
and come at a season when there are few real 
reds in bloom. Then its medium height makes it 
quite unusual. No picture can do it justice.

FRANCES RUSSELL. Dormant. 
After many years, I chose this Daylily to 
name for Mrs. Russell. Its wide, overlapping 
petals are palest lemon with a rich overcast of 
lavender and a wide, slightly deeper lavender eye 
zone and huge yellow throat. Sepals are lemon, 
with a faint lavender edge. The unusual thing 
about it is that the buds begin to open in the 
evening and remain open all night and all the 
next day until long after the next night’s buds 
have opened, making two complete sets of bloom 
at a time. Its huge blooms are 6 inches across. 
May, June. $3.00 each; 2 for $5.00. 
FULVA ROSEA. (Species) Dormant. 
The most beautiful of any wild species of 
Hemerocallis. The flowers are rose-pink, on a 
graceful stalk. Ht. 34% ft. June, July. $1.50 
each; 3 for $4.00. 
GARDEN OF ROSES. Dormant. 
The 4!%-inch blooms are pale rose to deep 
salmon, with a deeper eye zone and a green 
throat. Extremely outstanding. Ht. 4 ft. June, 
July. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00. 
GLORY OF TEXAS. 
This huge 6-inch flower with wide overlapping 
petals is a most unusual shade of burgundy-wine, 
fully ruffled, with a rich green throat and a wide, 
almost white, up-raised midrib in each petal. 
The sepals are gold deeply sprinkled with a vivid 
shade of burgundy. This flower is excellent as a 
cut flower because it stays open so late at night. 
Ht. 214 ft. June, July. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
GOLD MEADOWS. Dormant. 
Stiff petals of a leathery texture, light canary- 
lemon, slightly ruffled. Unusually tall and 
stately. This variety could be used in place of a 
tall shrub, and I have counted as many as 700 
buds on a three-year-old plant. 4-inch bloom. 
Ht. 4% ft. May, June. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
GREAT MOMENTS. Dormant. 
This lovely rich Chinese red gleaming in the 
hottest sun is really hard to describe. While it is 
not a large flower, being only 31% inches across, 
it’s one of the most profuse-blooming things you 
could imagine. How a color can be so brilliant 
and yet so subdued is hard for me to describe, 
but that’s the way it is, and it will be a red in 
your garden you will always love. Ht. 2% ft. 
June, July. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00.
