few. What would you like to have? 
Visit the garden about May 20 to see most of the early 
hemerocallis in bloom; June 15-20 for new seedling 
Japanese iris flowers; July 10 to 20 is the peak of bloom 
for the hundreds of summer flowering daylilies, and 
soon after, Lilium superbum wild among the iris. In 
mid August to October our new late hemerocallis hy- 
brids are in flower, 
For good shade plants see the many kinds of plantain 
lilies, July to fall, their wonderful leaves earlier also.

50 seeds of 5 kinds, names and color given.

The best way to know what you want is to see them 
in bloom. Come out Rhode Island Ave. from Washing- 
ton, D.C. turn sharply left at the first traffic light in 
Hyattsville, and about 3 blocks is the garden with 
thousands of different ornamental plants; or in coming 
south find us a block south of the Sanitary Commission
