in a concentric three-toned pattern. Second 
period of irregular bloom from mid-August until 
November. Strong, bold, royal. Good in the 
evening. Ht. 3144 ft. June, July. $1.00 each.

Glowing deep velvety red, with yellow-green 
throat. Very attractive and a fine performer the 
country over. Ht. 3 ft. June, July. $5.00 each. 
GREAT MOMENTS. Dormant. (Russell) 
This lovely rich Chinese-red gleaming in the 
hottest sun is really difficult to describe. While it 
; sar a y Be 
is only 31% inches across, it’s one of the most 
profuse-blooming flowers you can imagine. How 
a color can be so brilliant and yet so subdued is 
hard for me to say, but that’s the way it is, and 
it will be a red in your garden you will always 
love. Ht. 21% ft. June, July. $1.00 each; 3 for 
$2.50. 
GUNSTON HALL. Dormant. (Russell) 
Tiny, 2!4-inch flowers of a deeper shade of 
crimson-red on a 15-inch stem. This beautiful 
dwarf grows into a compact clump simply en- 
veloped in bloom. Planted in the foreground, it 
is a joy in anyone’s garden. Ht. 15 in. April, 
May, again in August. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
HAILE SELASSIE. Evergreen. (Wheeler) 
A 5-inch flower of deep purplish maroon. The 
sepals are a little lighter than the petals, pro- 
ducing a slight bicolor effect. Much in demand. 
Ht. 3 ft. June, July. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
INDIAN HILLS. Dormant. (Russell) 
Another lovely 20-inch dwarf. The 5-inch 
blooms are of the richest brilliant light red, 
almost deep orange-red. I’ve seen no other dwarf 
in this color and surely none that blooms so pro- 
fusely. May, June. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
LENA BROCK HOOVER. Dormant. (Russell) 
True rich purple with deeper violet-purple 
veins and a still deeper purple eye zone. Not a 
muddy purple, but a glorious true purple, with 
the widest petals, fully rounded form, recurved 
sepals and a lovely, distinct green throat. My 
choice of all purples for this season of the year 
and quite different in shape from our Purple 
Sage. A prolific grower and abundant bloomer. 
41-inch bloom. Ht. 21% ft. April, May, June. 
75c each; 3 for $2.00. 
RUSSELL GARDENS, SPRING, TEXAS 
MELODIES. Dormant. (Russell)

3 for $2.00.

PARAMOUNT. Evergreen. (Russell) 
This wide-petaled Daylily of rich red, ruffled 
and slightly recurved, is an unusually profuse 
bloomer. The stiff, erect stems are something to 
remember on a well-established clump. A fast 
multiplier and one that certainly needs no pam- 
pering. Ht. 249 ft. June, July. $1.00 each; 
3 for $2.50. 
PLUM MIST. Dormant. (Claar) 
Large, open flowers of misty purple-plum color, 
with a smooth, velvety finish; shallow cup of 
chrome-yellow. One hybridizer poetically de- 
scribed it as looking like “‘black chiffon over 
velvet.” $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00.
