Renaissance 
NEW 1955 DAYLILIES 
By R. W. WHEELER 
I’m pleased and very proud that the outstanding daylily 
breeder, Ralph Wheeler, is turning over his finest daylily cre- 
ations to me for introduction. In our garden Wheeler lilies 
are supreme for novel variety of form and color. More im- 
portant is the fact that no group of daylilies we have tested 
produces flowers so abundantly over so long a period.

take one-half of the amount of your purchase, and choose 
extra daylilies equal to this amount. Add an extra plant or 
two so that if we are out of any varieties we may substitute.
