Silver 
Dust 
SILVER DUST. Dormant. 
This pale lemon, ruffled and crinkled flower 
is a magnificent thing in an established clump. 
Its wide petals look like crepe paper, and it 
keeps perfectly as a cut flower. 41-inch bloom. 
Ht. 244 ft. April, May. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
Skylark 
SKYLARK. Dormant. 
I could write pages about this one and not say 
enough. It is the most beautiful shade of lemon 
with thick texture and a faint green throat. This 
tall, erect, 4-foot variety carries a multitude of 
blooms 41% to 5 inches across, slightly recurved, 
slightly ruffled, and remains open until 10 or 11 
o'clock at night. It will be many a year before it 
is surpassed in beauty and dependability, and 
it is a fast grower. May, June. $1.00 each; 
3 for $2.50. 
We could literally offer thousands of letters of 
testimony, with many more from such far-away 
places as South Africa and Hawait, but space does 
not allow it. We are grateful for them all, and while 
they were accompanied by a few complaining letters 
too, most of the complaints were about minor faults 
of our own that were readily adjusted.

Taj Mahal 
TAJ MAHAL. 
Rich chrome color with a velvety sheen and a 
wide eye zone of the richest purple-red. The fact 
that it grows only 2 feet high and is a blaze of 
bloom makes it one of the jewels in our fields. A 
bowlful combined with a lemon-colored variety 
is especially pleasing. Multiplies fast. 5-inch 
bloom. Very early. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
Evergreen. 
Tejas 
TEJAS. Dormant. 
Brilliant circus-wagon red with velvety sheen. 
Only a 31% to 4-inch flower, but very abundant.

and a deep yellow throat. Petals are slightly 
twisted and sepals recurved. A fast grower. 
Ht. 34% ft. April, May, June. $1.00 each; 
3 for $2.50.

I have a lot of your Daylilies, and they are really 
beautiful. £ never had nicer blooms.

Perhaps you will be interested in knowing how 
beautiful your lilies bloomed for us here in southwest 
Missouri. 
Tejas is my favorite of all the reds I grow—so 
bright and cheerful. Dixie Belle, Clarinade, and 
Frances Hannay were lovely, too
