What you DONT want 
in Daylilies! 
We are attempting to 
show you in this circular 
actual photographs of 
daylilies we consider worthy, 
and also a photograph of a 
useless variety. Notice it at 
the right — how it folds up 
here under our Texas sun. 
You will not find any like 
this even in our mixtures; 
only those that can “‘take it” 
are put in these series. Our 
Texas-grown plants, those 
we consider worthy garden 
subjects, are proved hardy 
from Maine to California, and when they hold up after our 
rigid tests in the Texas sun you can be sure you have something 
worth having. As to their hardiness, we get enough freeze to

What you DO want 
in Daylilies! 
burst unprotected water pipes and to kill out many weak day- 
lilies, yet enough heat in the summer to show up a daylily that 
can’t “take it.” The plants we send out are all hardy, blooming- 
size plants, and all orders amounting to $3.00 or more are sent 
postpaid; otherwise, send 35c for postage. 
SPECIAL COLOR GROUP OFFER, 10 Distinct Colors For $5.50 
3 of one kind in 10 colors (30 plants) 3 groups $15.00 
Would you really like to begin a lovely collection of Daylilies in ten different 
colors, every one a named variety, correctly labeled, at a price unheard of for such 
varieties? If, after seeing so many varieties in print and color photos, you feel 
incapable of selecting those that might please you most, then allow us to select 
for you these ten colors. The ones we will include in this offer: 1 Deep Mahogany- 
Red, 1 Old-Rose, 1 Wine, 1 Rich Chinese Red, 1 Deep Raspberry, 1 Giant Palest 
Lemon, 1 Canary-Gold, 1 Chrome, 1 Rose-Pink and 1 Salmon. We'll send these 
all in excellent blooming-size plants, postpaid for $5.50. The varieties we will send 
will be from stock in the fields that we happen to have the most of at the time you 
order, regardless of their prices—all will be named varieties, labeled. I promise you 
will have a treat in store if you will allow us this privilege. Under no circumstances 
will we ever send you a plant in this collection that is currently priced in our 
catalogue at less than $1.00 and some too rare to even list yet; in some cases they 
will be priced up to $3.00 and $4.00 each, if bought separately, but these must be 
bought in the ten-color group to get this offer. We will not sell less than this collection 
of ten at this price.
