REDS AND WINES, continued from page 15 
SCARLET SUNSET. Evergreen. (Wheeler) 
I think this Daylily was well named, for its 
bright scarlet flower is one of the most vibrant 
colors in existence today. Very profuse bloomer 
and one of the fastest growers in our fields. If 
you want brilliance in your garden, here it is. 
Ht. 3 ft. June, July. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
STAMPEDE. Evergreen. (Russell) 
Mahogany-red giant with deeper red eye zone. 
A 6-inch bloom with wide petals. Ht. 3 ft. 
April, May. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
THE DIRECTOR. Dormant. (Russell) 
A huge, wide flower with overlapping petals, 
fully ruffled and crinkled like crepe paper. The 
color is rich wine-red, not a fiery red, with narrow 
veins of burgundy. The sepals are a shade lighter 
and the throat is chrome color. These 5-inch 
blooms are magnificent—even more beautiful 
in the late evening after the sun has played on 
them all day. Ht. 2’ ft. May, June. 75c each; 
3 for $2.00. 
THERON. Dormant. (Stout) 
Deep red, curved and twisted petals. Pale 
yellow-orange throat, shaded green at base.
