OUR PROVEN STANDBYS 
LEMONS, LIMES AND GOLDS, continued 
GEORGE YELD. (Perry) 
Huge, 6-inch flower of canary-yellow brushed 
with red; deeper throat. Ht. 3 ft. July, August. 
90c each; 3 for $1.25. 
GOLD CARGO. Evergreen. (Russell) 
A hard one to describe. The deepest, richest 
gold, more than 7 inches across, of the thickest 
leathery texture, with slightly ruffled petals and 
recurved sepals of the same even color clear 
on into the throat. This huge thing remains 
open at night until after most people have re- 
tired, and fresh buds continue to open in abund- 
ance after being cut. [t has a velvety sheen over 
the entire flower, making it the most outstanding 
of the deeper yellows of the more than 600 va- 
rieties we grow. Fortunately a vigorous, fast 
grower. Ht. 3 ft. May, June. $2.00 each. 
GOLD MEADOWS. Dormant. (Russell) 
Stiff petals of a leathery texture, light canary- 
lemon, slightly ruffled. Unusually tall and stately. 
This variety could be used in place of a tall 
shrub, and I have counted as many as 700 buds 
on a three-year-old plant. 4-in. bloom. Ht. 414% 
ft. May, June. 50c each, 3 for $1.25. 
HAPPY DAYS. Evergreen. (Russell) 
This beautiful 5-inch bloom of the palest lemon 
has a deep apple-green throat. The faintest 
trace of powdered rose on the edge of its ruffled 
petals is hardly discernible; hence we are placing 
it in the lemon group. The loveliest variety 
grown in this color, which surely outdoes any 
lemon Daylily I have ever seen. Ht. 2% ft. 
May, June. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
HYPERION. Dormant. (Mead) 
The much-loved huge, wide, lemon-colored 
sort. Ht. 3 ft. May, June. 50c each; 3 for $1.25. 
JOY RUSSELL. Evergreen. (Russell) 
This tall Daylily, paler than lemon color, is of 
perfect texture and opens full. The petals are 
wide and fairly glisten in the sun. Quite the 
loveliest thing we grow in this color and simply 
breath-taking in the perennial border. 5-in. 
bloom. Ht. 5 ft. April, May, June. $1.00 each; 
3 for $2.50. 
LITTLE CHERUB. Evergreen. (Claar) 
A very early yellow that is a delight for the 
rockery or low border. The beautiful, clear yel- 
low flowers are full and well shaped, with seg- 
ments overlapping. Ht. 15 in. $1.50 each. 
When you are through with this 
catalog, won’t you pass it on 
to a fellow gardener?

LITTLE IMP. Dormant. (Russell) 
Gorgeous canary-yellow similar to Gold Dust 
but blooms about two months later and is cer- 
tainly more graceful. ‘The plant is not so stiff 
but droops gracefully, as do many of the giants. 
Its lovely 34-inch blooms are more open. Petals 
are light canary-yellow and sepals a deeper 
buttercup-yellow. Ht. 15 in. May, June. 75c 
each; 3 for $2.00. 
MARY GRAVES. Dormant. (Russell) 
The big, full, 6-inch, creamy buff flower was 
named for the past President of the Houston 
Federation of Garden Clubs and well merits that 
honor. Slightly ruffled and recurved. Ht. 3 ft. 
June, July. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
MIDWEST STAR. Dormant. (Sass) 
One of the largest, loveliest lemon-yellows you 
will find in the profuse-blooming class. Ht. 3 ft. 
May, June. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
MINOR. Dormant. (Species) 
A tiny little 15-inch, narrow grassy-like plant 
with pure yellow flowers. A sight to behold in 
full bloom. Ht. 15 in. March, April. 50c each; 
3 for $1.25. 
MRS. A. H. AUSTIN. Evergreen. (Betscher) 
Especially fine. Thick-textured petals of deep 
golden yellow. Ht. 3 ft. May, June. 50c each; 
3 for $1.25; 
MRS. B. F. BONNER. Evergreen. (Russell) 
This Daylily, in my opinion, beats any pale 
lemon in existence today. It is the color of 
Hyperion, but much larger, with wider petals 
and better texture. It lasts longer in the evening, 
has a much longer blooming season, and is far 
more profuse in bloom than Hyperion. 6-in. 
bloom. Ht. 24% to 3 ft. May, June. $1.00 each; 
3 for $2.50. 
MRS. DEL BEAVERS. Dormant. (Russell) 
This small, 3-inch bloom of the widest and most 
unusually shaped multiflora type, has the most 
beautiful cantaloupe shade of yellow I have ever 
seen. An extremely late bloomer. A 1953 intro- 
duction. Ht. 3 ft. July, August. $1.50 each. 
ON TOUR. Evergreen. (Russell) 
A giant bloom fully 6 inches across, of the 
palest yellow. The petals are wide and the 
sepals slightly twisted in a form found in no 
other Daylily. No visitor in our fields wanted to 
go away without one. This one is simply a ‘‘ must 
have.” Ht. 3144 ft. May, June. $1.50 each.
