The Kussell Owars

feet and some of them one foot. 
ture and Little Imp. 
sure you will love them all. 
LITTLE IMP. Dormant. 
This gorgeous canary-yellow is_ similar to 
Gold Dust, but blooms about two months 
later and is certainly more graceful, the plant 
not being so stiff but droops gracefully as do many 
of the giants. Its lovely 31-inch blooms are 
more open. Its petals are light canary-yellow 
and its sepals a deeper buttercup-yellow. Ht. 
15 inches. May, June. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
ANNETTE. Dormant. 
Mahogany-red, almost a_black-red. This 
lovely 6-inch flower has a deep, wide chrome 
throat. Its height is only 20 inches, which is 
quite unusual for a Daylily in this color class. 
April, May and June. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
CALCUTTA. Dormant. 
Lovely overlapping petals of truly wine-red 
with a deep velvety sheen and a small golden 
throat. A very profuse bloomer. Truly a honey. 
414-inch bloom. Ht. 2 ft. May, June. $1.00 each; 
3 for $2.50. 
GUEST STAR. Evergreen. 
Big 7-inch flower with widest petals tapering

of an indescribable shade of purest canary-gold. 
The most beautiful yellow sepals are slightly 
recurved. Ht.2 ft. May. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
MY BUDDIE. Dormant. 
The small 3-inch blooms are of a rich velvety 
mahogany-red, with ruffled petals and a sulphur- 
yellow throat. The petals and sepals are slightly 
recurved. Ht. 2 ft. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
OUR PET. Dormant. 
Yes, this is everybody else’s pet too, for its 
height is only about 24 inches and the flowers 
look like little butterflies. Tiny 31-inch bloom 
of rich deep yellow overcast orange-red, with a 
fiery red eye zone. One of the most profuse 
bloomers. April to June. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
PRAIRIE GOLD. Evergreen. 
This beautiful canary-yellow with its wide, 
4-inch blooms is another semi-dwarf growing less 
than 2 feet. It can really be considered a fall 
bloomer, for it blooms for us in August and is 
ablaze with bloom when almost all other mid- 
season varieties are gone. Keeps well far into 
the night. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
RED RAPTURE. Dormant. 
This lovely rich brown-red Daylily is only 3 
inches across, with its deep rich yellow throat 
extending through its petals—its sepals are 
yellow slightly overcast brown. The first little 
semi-bicolor in the midget class. Only 12 inches 
in height. Offered again after stock is replenished. 
We believe this is the dwarfest colored midget 
erown. May, June. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50.
