green color. The scapes are about 39” tall, and gracefully 
formed. The plant is well proportioned, particularly the 
flower in relation to the scape and foliage. (Sold Out

Mr. Claar’s statement regarding the introduction of 
NASHVILLE follows: 
“T am at present growing over 700 different named 
varieties of daylilies. I have been hybridizing daylilies since 
1937 and have raised thousands of seedlings. I believe 
NASHVILLE, a 1952 banded introduction, (seedling 
50-12a) is better than or significantly different from any of 
the following summer blooming daylilies, all of which I 
am growing in my garden in 1951 under similar conditions: 
Brown-eyed Susan Flamboyant 
Carmen Corliss Loveliness 
Cathedral Towers Madam Butterfly 
Colonial Dame Mikado 
Delight Mrs. David Hall 
Dorothea Psyche 
Eurydice 
and all other banded variety of Elmer Claar seedlings. 
“I believe NASHVILLE to be better because of the 
number of people whose opinion I respect who have selected 
it in my garden as being superior to any others that I grow. 
The plant is well proportioned, particularly the flower in 
relation to the scape and foliage. Its foliage is a beautiful 
blue-green color. The scapes are about 3’-3” tall and 
gracefully formed. The flower is a banded variety, light 
yellow in color with a very contrasty band. It is further 
distinguished by its smooth texture, heavy substance, and 
all-around garden value. NASHVILLE will be a lovely 
garden flower for many, many years to come.”
