green at the base. Probably the best in its class.

SILVER STARS. Evergreen. 
Ever see a green Daylily? This is one—really a 
chartreuse-green, not just the green cast of some 
Daylilies but true chartreuse-green, the loveliest 
I’ve ever seen. Its petals are not so wide but are 
fairly twisted and recurved. In a flower arrange- 
ment it’s the most exotic thing imaginable, keep- 
ing far into the night. Huge, flaring 7-inch bloom. 
I’ve never seen a customer who didn’t want this 
plant, but other than the few we’ve sent out for 
test purposes, we refused to sell it until we had 
a large stock. May, June. $2.00. 
SUSAN. Dormant.

petals are a rich brilliant red with a canary stripe 
in the center of each. The sepals are yellow in 
the center with a rosy red outer edge and to

huge star-shaped green throat. A very profuse 
bloomer and a lovely companion for Glory of 
Texas and Mrs. B. F. Bonner, being so strikingly 
different. A fast multiplier. Ht. 31% ft. June, 
July. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50.
