Now Everybody Can Afford 
These Lovely New Jewels 
While we are growing thirty solid acres of Day- 
lilies, it must be understood that not all of them 
are good varieties, in fact, a great part of our 
entire fields we consider strictly trash—just as 
you will find in any breeder’s field. We plowed 
under many thousand hybrids this season as not 
worthy garden subjects. We grow thousands of 
our own under number, as well as hundreds of 
varieties from other breeders for comparison. 
Only when a plant has proved its worth do we 
ever introduce it. 
Daylilies will give you more in return for less 
care than any flower you could possibly grow, 
and at the same time increase in beauty from 
year to year. When you consider the thousands 
of plants we destroy in order to select one good 
variety that will live on and on, the price we 
ask is, after all, very small. We are happy to be 
the first large grower in America to give you 
these modest prices, but then we are here where = B®" = a

5,000 to 10,000 each of 75 or 100 top varieties.

I am presenting this year, for the first time, a photograph of L. M. — Jake has appeared before in 
many of my catalogs. While L. M. is not my son, but my oldest brother’s, you’d never know it here. 
Ile has been with us for many years and is about as important around here as any of the rest of us. 
He is the one you want to contact, if possible, when you visit our nursery, for Daylily information; 
you will get it from him with the least “static.” He always has taken things calmly, even while flying 
77 missions in a Thunderbolt fighter plane all over Europe. He and Jake, with their crew, can get 
out more orders in less time than I have ever heard of any others doing. 
The volume of our business has changed the rating of the post office here in our little 
village from fourth class to second class—and all because of your orders. Thanks 
again for your confidence.
