A small part of our thirty acres of Hemerocallis, more than a million plants 
See pages 24 and 25 for still lower-priced varieties 
(We simply have more stock of those listed there) 
The varieties listed here and on pages 24 and 25 we predicted would remain among 
the best in America. Now they have become standard, and it was our variety that 
remained at the top of the Hemerocallis poil longer than any variety on earth—three 
solid years. You will find more of our varieties listed among the 100 best than of any 
other grower anywhere. Bragging? Yes, because we are proud of it. We never in- 
troduce a Daylily until we have grown sufficient stock to list it at a price that 
everyone can afford. This is no hobby with us, but our living. We are growing thirty 
solid acres. Thanks to you who have made this possible for us. 
Our success is due solely to home gardeners. While we are the largest growers of 
Daylilies in the United States, we still do not have better varieties in sufficient quan- 
tities to cater to nurseries at wholesale. I feel that we'd rather get our prices as cheap 
as we can to offer to you gardeners who have made our business what it is. In making 
up this catalog, don’t you ever forget that I kept you foremost in my thoughts in offer- 
ing you better varieties at the lowest prices possible. This I feel is the best way to 
say “thank you” for your confidence in us. You can have better Daylilies now and 
without paying the fancy price charged by some who introduce them when they have 
only one or two clumps in their back yard. We test ours years before offering them. 
While they are being tested, our stock is being grown in sufficient quantities to be 
priced right. Yes, I actually claim ours are the best varieties on earth and offered at the 
lowest prices, even low enough now so that you can plant them in groups of 3 or more 
at the price some are asking for one. Some of our loveliest new varieties are not shown 
in color; it’s impossible to print them all.
