get out our old catalogues, yes, even those of the other nurseries 
too, and compare our prices and quality of stock. Do you find 
such full wide petaled varieties in any other listings?

profusion more than makes up for its size. 
A shade of salmon pink that will thrill any 
gardener. It has a light yellow midrib and 2 
tiny gold cup. Ht. 3 ft. June, July. $3.00 
MYRA GODDARD. Dormant (Russell) 
This wonderful wide petaled 41/2” flower 
is shown on the front of this circular. Its 
color is what I’d call a true baby pink with 
a large golden cup, The unusual part of this 
flower is that it is one of the very few in the 
pink class that is ruffled, and certainly one 
that we believe will go down in horticultural 
history, Extremely profuse bloomer. Ht. 3% 
ft. June, July. (The recent interest in this 
variety has led up to the conclusion that it 
is unwise to offer this plant until we have 
worked up a larger stock, so that we may 
stay within our price range. We are accept- 
ing orders for this now, for fall delivery of 
1955.) $8.00 
COURTSHIP. Evergreen (Russell) 
Wide 4” bloom of the palest gold-sprinkled 
lavender pink. Its sepals have slightly darker 
bands on outer edges. The entire flower seems

gold. A twice bloomer. Ht. 18”. May, June,

2? GOO 
\ 
w 1953 introductions and we hope and sincerely believe that they will eventually 
dred top best daylilies in all America. 
We like to get in that one hundred top best because over 1/6 of the 
entire one hundred (and remember there are many thousands of varie- 
ties) are ours. Don’t you think that’s plenty good for one nursery out 
of the thousands that are growing them now, to be able to mak 
this statement? Read your polls of the Hemerocalis judges throughout 
America, if you have one; if not, write to us for one. The varieties listed 
here you will be proud of as long as you live and are just as hardy 
as the stepping stones in your garden.
