These introductions we believe will remain among the best in America for many years to come. 
They are already proved in every state in the Union and many foreign countries. We never introduce 
a Daylily until we have grown sufficient stock to list it at a price that everyone can afford. This is no 
hobby with us, but our living. Before a variety is introduced by us, the original clump must have 
produced more than 300 blooms by the end of its third season, or it never reaches this catalog. This 
season we have eliminated from our list many varieties offered by us in the past—some because our 
stock was too low, and others we simply feel not worth listing because better varieties have been 
originated. Those of you who wish to buy other varieties not appearing in this list may write us; in 
many cases we can supply the plants. I am also happy to be able to list again this season several va- 
rieties that have not appeared in our list for several years, while we renewed our stock. 
Our success is due solely to home gardeners. While we are the largest growers of Daylilies in the 
United States, we still do not have better varieties in sufficient quantities to cater to nurseries at 
wholesale. I feel that we’d rather get our prices as cheap as we can to offer to you gardeners who have 
made our business what it is. In making up this catalog, don’t you ever forget that I kept you fore- 
most in my thoughts in offering you better varieties at the lowest prices possible. This I feel is the 
best way to say “thank you” for your confidence in us. We could easily list another 500 varieties of 
Daylilies in this catalog, but we feel that would be just as silly as for an automobile manufacturer to 
go back to offering 1920 model automobiles. You can have better Daylilies now and without paying 
the fancy price charged by some who introduce them when they have only one or two clumps in their 
back yard. We test ours years before offering them. While they are being tested, our stock is being 
erown in sufficient quantities to be priced right. Yes, I actually claim ours are the best varieties on 
earth and offered at the lowest prices, even low enough now that you can plant them in groups of 3 or 
more at the price some are asking for one. Some of our loveliest new varieties are not shown in color 
as it’s impossible to print them all. 
LEMONS, LIMES, AND GOLDS 
CREAMY CRINKLES. Dormant. (Russell) 
One of the daintiest, profusely crinkled,

July. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
DAUNTLESS. Evergreen. (Stout) 
Huge; cadmium-yellow with faint fulvous

Large, wide blooms of orange and fulvous 
colors. Ht. 214% ft. May, June. 50c each; 3 for 
$1.25. 
CHARM SPOT. (Russell.) 
Think you’ve got yellow Daylilies? Well, 
maybe you have, but this lovely variety, with 
extremely heavy texture, blooms more profusely 
and has better keeping quality than any you’ve 
seen yet. 5-in. bloom. Ht. 21% ft. May, June. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
CIRCE. Dormant. (Stout) 
Clear yellow with full, medium-sized bloom.

The picture at the right 
was made at night about 
20 years ago to show the 
old varieties of Daylilies 
that close at night and 
those I developed that re- 
main open. This was the 
beginning of the hybrids 
that keep open in the 
evening and are therefore 
useful as cut flowers—and 
this is why the Russell 
varieties top them all for 
their keeping qualities. 
All prices listed here void 
all previous lists. 
RUSSELL GARDENS, SPRING, TEXAS 
$2.00. 
EMILY BROWN. Dormant. (Russell) 
A deep yellow Daylily with texture like 
leather and a sheen that absolutely glistens in 
the sun. Its wide, 5-inch bloom is really breath- 
taking, and I am proud to be responsible for the 
introduction of this jewel of jewels. 
May, June. $3.00 each.
