Caballero 
Over the Feuce 
Early some summer morning, 
your neighbor calls a friendly 
greeting to you from her back 
yard. As she reaches the fence 
and takes a peek.across to see how 
things look in your garden, she 
is almost breathless! Such a 
transformation has taken place, 
and in such a short time! In 
startling contrast against the 
massed evergreen border, you 
have grouped your daylilies in 
multiples of three or more of the 
same variety, choosing carefully 
for a definite color scheme. Here 
you have dozens of glittering blos- 
soms in soft, pale yellow, shades 
of mauve to deep purple, or scar- 
let to maroon and even pinks 
that shade from the faintest 
pastels to vivid rose of many 
hues. The blooms vary in size, 
some are large and some are 
smaller; some are frilled, fluted or 
recurved, or twisted at the tips of 
the petals or sepals. Some appear 
to be frosted with star dust, or 
decorated with distinctive mark- 
ings. Some are clear toned, some 
are bi-colored and some are over- 
cast with dusky blotches or 
haloes. Perchance, the only day- 
lily your neighbor knows is the 
old ugly duckling that escaped 
from grandmother’s garden. 
These enchanting flowers that 
make such a splash of gorgeous 
color along your borders can’t 
possibly be called daylilies, too, 
but they are indeed. 
We have grouped what we con- 
sider a selection for just such a 
picture as described above. These 
are medium priced varieties for 
those who want good quality in 
color and performance, yet also 
want low priced daylilies. No 
plant should be judged by its 
price alone, for many factors 
enter into the pricing of a plant. 
Some varieties increase faster 
than others, and many of our 
most satisfactory ones are older 
introductions and of this class; 
so are lower in price. None in the 
group that follows should be un- 
dervalued because of their amaz- 
ing low prices. Even a further 
reduction is offered in the drastic 
discounts as shown below.

20%—off on 9 plants 
15%—off on 6 plants 
Less than 6 plants priced as

plants will go fast so get

delay.

DAYLILIES 
IN ARRANGEMENTS 
The usefullness of daylilies for 
cut flowers has long been over- 
looked or neglected. Many people 
think that because an individual 
blossom closes late at night, they 
have no value in the house. There 
are so many buds on a single stem 
there is always another bloom 
ready for the next day. Just pinch 
the closed flower off the stem and 
you have a bouquet as lovely as 
before. 
There are dozens of varieties 
in gorgeous colors which extend 
their bloom well into the evening 
and can be used with great charm 
as table arrangements, in all parts 
of the house, on terraces, in 
churches or other public buildings. 
Their glistening loveliness nods a 
friendly greeting that all who 
pass by will long remember. They 
feel at home in any setting— 
formal or casual. Just try them!

OKLAHOMA’S LACK OF 
RAINFALL NO PROBLEM 
IN DAYLILY FIELD 
Our entire field of daylilies 
withstood the extreme drought of 
last year with no artificial water- 
ing, and seems none the worse for 
the experience. Yesterday we 
were in the field looking over 
several rows of small new plants 
we had planted in August. This 
was in the middle of the worst 
dry season in many years. All 
winter we felt that these plants 
had little or no chance to survive. 
We almost laughed out loud, so 
happy we were to see each and 
every one—and there were hun- 
dreds of them—looking lustily 
toward the sky. The entire field 
is in fine condition, despite this 
lack of moisture, so there is no 
denying the importance of using 
this vigorous new perennial in 
every garden. The popularity of 
the daylily is ever increasing. 
They do equally well in moist 
climates, which proves. their 
adaptability and sturdiness.
