PROVEN STANDBYS 
PLEASING COLOR COMBINATIONS 
BAGGETTE. Dormant. (Russell) 
This is truly a dream: in fact, it is the winner 
of the award of merit of the Hemerocallis S« ciety. 
The wide, overlapping, rounded petals are of the 
palest lemon, deeply shaded with rose-pink. It 
stands high on the popularity poll. [Pm not 
pricing it for five dollars, as some are doing with 
theirs that haven’t even reached the poll, nor 
even three dollars, two dollars or one dollar, but 
a mere 75c. We knew years ago that it would 
turn out to be much sought after, as are many 
other varieties listed in this group. This is truly 
one of America’s “* Daylilies of tomorrow,” which 
many of the famous hybridizers got from us 
‘yesterday’ to use in their crosses. A wonderful 
subject for cutting, for it keeps far into the 
evening. Ht. 2144 ft. April, May. 75c each; 
3 for $2.00. 
BERNICE RUSSELL. Evergreen. (Russell) 
A most magnificent shade of rosy cinnamon- 
yellow bordering on brownish, but to me far 
more appealing than Painted Lady because it 
does not have the depth of brown. 7-inch bloom. 
Ht. 214 ft. April, May. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
BESS BUCHANAN. Dormant. (Russell) 
This buff to cantaloupe-colored flower has 
deep, wide, rose veins running through it. The 
ruffled, 5-inch flower in an established clump is 
really magnificent. A very profuse bloomer. 
Ht. 3 ft. May, June. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
CABALLERO. Evergreen. (Stout) 
I suppose everyone loves this flower. The 
petals are vermilion-red with golden yellow 
sepals. It was produced at the New York Bo- 
tanical Gardens. Free blooming. Ht. 314 ft. 
June, July. 75c each; 3 for $2.00. 
FANCY TRIMMIN’S. Dormant. (Russell) 
Ruffled, rosy pink petals and yellow sepals, 
deeply overcast with rose. Deeper rose eye zone. 
3/-inch bloom. Ht. 18 in. June, July. 75c each; 
3 for $2.00. 
FANTASIA. Evergreen. (Stout) 
Orange, brown and red over a yellow ground. 
The very curled and twisted segments add much 
interest to the unusual color pattern. Ht. 4 ft. 
June, July. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
GAY TROUBADOUR. Dormant. (Nesmith) 
Indian red and maize-yellow bicolor. Ht. 4 ft. 
July, August. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
JUST MARY. Dormant. (Russell) 
Red veins running through a yellow back- 
ground, shading into a rich green throat. As 
many as 40 to 75 buds on a stem, with seven 
blooms open at once. 5-inch bloom. Ht. 3 ft. 
May to July. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
LILLIAN RUSSELL. Evergreen. (Russell) 
Now comes a break in colors. The petals are 
rich rose slightly overcast with lavender; the 
sepals are lemon, deeply sprinkled with rose, 
ruffled and slightly reflexed. The big, full bloom 
is 6 inches across, with wide petals that overlap. 
It has a huge, sulphur-green throat. Habit of 
growth, size and form are like that of Hyperion, 
but the texture is far superior, making it wonder- 
ful as a cut flower because it stays open so long 
at night. A most abundant bloomer and a vigor- 
ous grower. Ht. 214 ft. May, June. $1.00 each; 
3 for $2.50. 
MYONNE. Evergreen. (Vestal) 
A variety that is fast coming to the front with 
its rich reddish bronze petals and old-gold sepals. 
A fast grower and one I’m sure you will want in 
this quiet, subdued tone. Ht. 314 ft. May, June. 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.00.

MORE WORDS FROM OUR GARDENING FRIENDS 
Dear Sir: Aug. 21, 1954 
I would like to say that nowhere in the country 
could you possibly have more staunch supporters 
of Hemerocallis (from Russell, of course) than 
the Peaches of Basking Ridge. Even with the 
driest June and July in New Jersey in 110 years, 
our lilies were as large and as vivid as ever. Year 
after year we hope to continue to add to our 
number by twenty or thirty. This is the one plant 
that our constantly growing herd of wild rabbits 
refuses to touch. Praise be for Hemerocallis! 
Very truly yours, 
Mrs. WALTER C. PEAcH

RUSSELL GARDENS, SPRING, TEXAS 
Dear Mr. Russell: Aug. 1954 
After seeing the gorgeous, breath-taking display 
of daylilies in our garden this summer from 
Hemerocallis purchased from you during the 
past four years, I couldn’t resist your amazing 
sale of these splendid lilies. A person has to see 
these lilies in bloom to really appreciate their 
beauty. 
Sincerely yours, 
Mrs. G. T. Hemrora
