BERNICE RUSSELL. Evergreen. (Russell) 
The color of Bernice Russell is what I’d call a

the depth of brown. This is the best I can de- 
scribe it. 7-in. bloom. Ht. 21% ft. April, May. 
$1.50 each.

Dear Mr. Russell: 
Just a few words of appreciation for the plants 
I ordered from you on your special offer. We had 
a very severe winter last year in northern Ontario 
and with very little snow to protect the plants, 
yet your daylilies survived 42° below zero. Gold 
Meadows, Purple Sage and Tejas are all coming 
in bud now and Nokomis is in full bloom. Of 
course, the blooming period in Texas is far dif- 
ferent from here, as none of the varieties start 
blooming until July. Now people should know 
the hardiness of your plants. 
Yours truly, 
Atex NiIckASON
