Russells Naturalizing Groupes 
FOR MASS PLANTING 
ATTENTION: Owners of estates, city parks and commercial buildings. 
Mixed Daylilies are not pretty as are no other flowers unless kept in separate color groups. 
For those of you who want mass effects in a single color and care nothing for names, then by all 
means take advantage of this offer. You who wish to use Daylilies in quantities for larger gar- 
dens, where you’d want to use as many as 100 plants may have 5 each of 20 varieties, or 10 each 
of 10 varieties, all varieties packed separately; of if you’d want 500 plants, you may have 5 each 
of 100 varieties, or 10 each of 50 varieties, all varieties packed separately; or if you’d want 
1000 plants, you may have 10 each of 100 varieties. This way, planting them in groups of 5 or 
10 of one kind will give you a mass effect. State your preference as to colors—‘‘lemon and gold 
shades,” “red and wine shades,” or “pastel shades,” or a combination of all colors in all the 
shades. These we can furnish you at $37.50 a hundred, or $175.00 for five hundred, or $300.00 
a thousand. These will all come to you with the separate varieties tied separately. Those that 
buy them in hundred and thousand lots may have them labeled as to color shades if they prefer,

such as “lemons and golds,” “‘reds and wines,” and “‘pastels.”” This is a wonderful offer, and 
these varieties will be selected from our fields among the loveliest Daylilies. We could offer 
varieties much cheaper than this—we’ve got plenty of that type—but they are simply not worthy 
as garden subjects. and are never sold at any price. Note the difference in good and bad varieties 
on page 27. The plants we send you we aim for you to love and cherish always. Just ask for 
“Naturalizing Group” when ordering these. Complete planting instructions sent with all orders.
