SCOTTY’S MESSAGE 
We have had many requests for daylilies for landscap- 
ing. What can be more effective than a bank made 
glamorous with exotic blossoms during the hot sum- 
mer months - each day fresh and dewy flowers. When 
one sees a field of daylily blooms, it is hard to realize 
that every blossom in that beautiful picture will be 
gone that night, but yet tomorrow the show will be just 
as magnificent - and that goes on for weeks and weeks. 
If you would like to spread beauty around your place, 
at a price that people whose yearnings exceed their 
earnings can afford to pay, see our Bargain Mart, and 
our Daylilies for Landscaping offer. We shall be glad 
to make suggestions as to color combinations and the 
most suitable plants for all-season bloom. 
We are happy to be able to continue the Home Nur- 
sery Section and again offer choice plants at very low 
costs, with LITTLE or NO FREIGHT COSTS. These 
freight costs can be quite an item. They are paid by 
row the customer, and a field grown plant dug with a 
all of earth can cost you more in transportation than 
the original cost of the plant. 
Many people have written in asking for small azaleas. 
Unfortunately, last year we were unable to take any 
cuttings as the plants had been too badly damaged dur- 
ing the “Terrible Freeze” (I’m sure we shall not for- 
get that winter for many a year!) This year we expect 
to propagate azaleas again, and hope to have them in 
our next catalog. Most of our plants in the Home Nur- 
sery Section are broadleaved evergreens, and some are 
inclined to be tender in the North. We are working 
toward hardy types of azaleas, as well as other ever- 
greens, and since our nursery is situated atop a moun- 
tain, with an elevation of 2100 feet, actually we are, 
climatically speaking, about 200 miles farther north 
than would seem from our location, down here in Sun- 
ny Tennessee. (I wonder where old Sol can be - we’ve 
had fog and rain now for over a week!) You will find 
the small plants listed on pages 19, 20, 21. 
We hear that Mr. Claar’s THE DOCTOR made quite 
an impression at the National Meeting in New England 
last summer - and yet, we hear that when one gentle- 
man remarked that it was the most impressive new 
variety he had seen this year, those in the “know”, who 
had seen Mr. Claar’s garden said, “Wait until you have 
seen some of the seedlings from it” - and we hope that 
next year we'll be able to offer at least one of those 
wonderful new reds that are Elmer Claar’s specialty. 
Last year we spent some time in Mr. William T. 
Wood’s seedling patch, (you remember he’s the orig- 
inator of Marie Wood and Bill Wood) and never have 
I seen in one spot so many glorious blossoms - so many 
that were too beautiful and outstanding not to be in- 
troduced, and yet, it is Mr. Wood’s policy and ours, 
not to release such a multitude of varieties, but to re-
