ing ivory. The very heavy substanced flowers are open and

duced, and it has received high praise from Hemerocallis en-

is hard to describe. The throat and undercolor is soft Indian 
Yellow with a heavy pigmentation of deep Majolica. A very

fect of a reverse bicolor, and over all there is a frosty sheen

crimson, flushed deeper on the petals and sepals just above

siders it the reddest hemerocallis he has bred. 15 or more 
buds. ev. H.M., A. I. 8S. 1952. July. 36 in. $5.00 
CRIMSON VELVET 45-50A (Nesmith 1953). Brilliant and 
glowing, this velvety crimson with open flaring flowers stands

petals and sepals that are smoothly finished and retain their 
clear clean color throughout the day and evening. Tall with 
30 or more buds it has great carrying quality in the garden.

CYCLOPS (G. Douglas 1950). Well named for it is a giant 
in height of stalk and size of the flower. The huge light 
chrome yellow blooms have a reddish cinnamon wash at the 
center of the petals. The leather-like substance of the flow- 
ers is the heaviest I have ever seen in a hemrocallis and for 
that reason it has great possibilities in breeding. July-Aug. 
60 in. ev. $4.00 
DAILY DOUBLE (G. Douglas 1946). A double flower of at- 
tractive form and color. The flowers are Mikado orange 
(Ridgway) faintly flushed with a deeper tone. The contour 
of the flower is the same as other hemerocallis, but in addi- 
tion it has three perfect petaloids in the center of the bloom 
as well as stamens and pistil. A step forward toward double 
hemerocallis. July-Aug. 40 in. ev. $2.00

DAPHNE PINK 45-1T (Nesmith 1953). The color is well 
described by the name except that the whole flower has a 
more mellow tone. An open flower with ruffled petals and 
smoothly finished sepals. The flower shades deeper toward 
the Chinese Yellow center that forms a star-shaped cup. 
Very vigorous and of rapid increase it makes a bright rose 
clump that is most effective. It comes from a cross of Pink 
Prelude. July-Aug. 39 in. ev. $6.50 
DAWNING LIGHT 48-68 (Nesmith 1952) M. L. Clean and 
crisp, this fragrant canary yellow lights up the garden from 
dawn until after dark. It is an absolute self even to stamens 
and pistil. The open bell-shaped flowers have fluted petals 
and smoothly finished sepals with very firm substance and 
great lasting qualities. Few creamy yellows have the fine 
branching, sturdy stalks, and long blooming season of this 
great garden favorite. ev. July-Aug. 49 in. $5.00 
DEBUTANTE 39-37 (Nesmith 1941). A charming and dainty 
pink bicolor with such a fresh frosty sheen that the name 
Debutante seems especially fitting. The petals are a smooth 
light pink in pleasing contrast to the creamy yellow of the 
sepals. July-Aug. 388 in. dorm. $1.50 
DEEP MELODY 46-56 (G. Douglas 1952) M. L. This hem- 
erocallis is hard to describe. It is a bronzy-red overflushed

kles in the sunlight. The blooms are large with both petals 
and sepals recurving and the glowing color extends down to 
the bright gold throat that is flushed with green gold at the 
base. The many flowers are very smoothly finished and the 
scapes have excellent branching. A handsome hemerocallis 
with great garden value and long season of bloom. July- 
Aug. 40 in, ev, $5.00
