Did you ever see a daylily you wanted to eat? Well, 
| did! 
It's BAILEY WALKER, a new, luscious looking can- 
taloupe-colored dream; Cool and frosted, yet warm- 
toned underneath, as proof that it's been sunkissed, 
just as the delicious Heart of Gold cantaloupes. 
It is one of Mr. William T. Wood's creations, and | 
predict it will be as much in demand as Marie Wood, 
its parent. We hope to be able to offer it next year.

in five different states, to whom Mr. Lenington sent his 
questionnaires. Taken from an article in Mr. Ben 
Arthur Davis’ very fine book on DAYLILIES.
