VARIETIES SOLD SHORT 
We have received many letters from growers asking us why we fail to list certain varieties. Our 
answer 1s simple: Ever since we have been in business, we have hardly ever offered a variety that 
didn’t become completely sold out that season, 
worked up enough stock to offer it again. 
and we had to take it off the market until we 
Some of these varieties you will find listed here for the 
first time in several seasons, and many of these we’re sure won’t last the season through. 
PROVEN STANDBYS 
LEMONS, LIMES AND GOLDS 
AUGUST ORANGE. Dormant. (Stout) 
A profusion of small, rich orange blooms on 
heavily branched, vigorous plants. Unusually 
effective in the landscape and a needed compan- 
ion for August Pioneer. Good evenings. Ht. 3 ft. 
August, September. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
DESERT STAR. Dormant. (Russell) 
This buff flower resembles a floret of a huge 
delphinium. The petals are ruffled, as though 
sewed in pleats. Holds its face slightly upright; 
the green throat enhances the beauty of this 
4-inch bloom. A fast multiplier. Ht. 214 ft. 
April, May. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
EMILY BROWN. Dormant. (Russell) 
A deep yellow Daylily with texture like leather 
and a sheen that absolutely glistens in the sun. 
The wide, 5-inch bloom is really breath-taking, 
and I am proud to be responsible for the intro- 
duction of this jewel of jewels. Ht. 3 ft. May, 
June. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
GOLD CARGO. Evergreen. (Russell) 
The deepest, richest gold flower, more than 7 
inches across, of the thickest leathery texture; 
slightly ruffled petals and recurved sepals of the 
same even color clear on into the throat. This 
huge bloom remains open at night, and fresh buds 
continue to open in abundance after being cut. 
It has a velvety sheen over the whole flower, 
making it a most outstanding deep yellow. For- 
tunately a vigorous, fast grower. Ht. 3 ft. May, 
June. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
HIAWATHA. Dormant. (Stout) 
A multifloral type of clear orange tone, having 
many blooms to the scape. Always a good garden 
subject. Ht. 3 ft. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
JUNE OLCOTT. [vergreen. (Russell) 
This is truly a new break, which looks more 
like a freesia than a Daylily. (See color photo 
on back cover.) I have seen as many as 40 buds 
on a single stem, and the 114-inch flower opens 
only four-fifths full, making it lovely for flower 
arrangements. It is a golden yellow self. We are 
offering this again after a four-year absence. I 
have never seen anyone who didn’t want this 
variety. Ht. 3 ft. April, May. $3.00 each; 3 for 
$7.50. 
LAMARQUE. Evergreen. (Russell) 
This very wide-petaled, rich buttercup-yellow 
bloom is about 41% inches across. The petals 
overlap and are very ruffled. It keeps well in the 
evening, making it suitable for cutting. Ht. 3 ft. 
May, June. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
MODERN GAL. Evergreen. (Russell) 
A huge, 8-inch, wide-petaled, buff flower. 
This is not lemon, nor chrome, nor golden, but a 
giant flower of true creamy buff, a solid self. 
Ht. 3 ft. June, July. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
MOONGATE. Evergreen. (Russell) 
Canary-yellow, 5-inch blooms with green 
throat. Wide, twisted petals of the firmest 
texture; recurving sepals. A very fast multiplier. 
Ht. 314 ft. April, May. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
MRS. B. F. BONNER. Evergreen. (Russell) 
The same pale lemon color as Hyperion, but 
much larger, with wider petals and better texture. 
It lasts longer in the evening, has a much longer 
blooming season and is more free flowering. 
6-inch bloom. Ht. 214 to 3 ft. May, June. $1.00 
each; 3 for $2.50. 
ON TOUR. Evergreen. (Russell) 
A beautiful, 6-inch flower of the very palest 
yellow. The petals are extremely wide and 
slightly twisted at the ends. I have had this 
variety in and out of my catalog for many years 
while we worked up stock. If you ask me to 
choose the best pale lemon, I'll give you this one. 
Ht. 3 ft. May, June. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00. 
PERSONAL APPEARANCE. Dormant. 
(Russell) 
Very late, really a fall bloomer in the North. 
Its 5-inch bloom is pale yellow, faintly overcast 
golden canary-yellow. Keeps as a cut flower far 
into the night. Ht. 214 ft. August, September 
here in Texas; later in the North. $1.50 each; 
3 for $4.00. 
PRAIRIE BOY. Dormant. (Sass) 
A large, full-flowered orange self. Ht. 31% ft. 
July, August. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
WELAKA. Evergreen. (Watkins) 
Medium-sized flowers of good substance, 
rippled like crepe paper. Mandarin-orange in 
color, flushed with rosy fulvous tones. Ht. 2 ft. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
Please Note—IMPORTANT: The size of the illustrations in this catalog is no indication of the 
actual size of the bloom. Some varicties shown here in a small illustration are actually much larger 
than some of the large photographs. The description of each variety will tell you the size of the bloom.
