ELMER CLAAR’S JEAN LAFITTE TRIUMPHS AGAIN! 
Mrs. J. R. Seckman of Clarksburg, West Virginia, 
who writes articles under the name of Mary C. Seck- 
man sent this amusing letter: 
“Dear Mr, and Mrs. Parry: 
This story might be headed ‘Jean Lafitte triumphs 
again!’ Ever since it happened one hot night last 
summer | have meant to share it with you. 
Jean Lafitte has the distinction of being the only 
daylily in my garden ever to be coveted enough to 
steal! And, furthermore, it had the strength to resist 
and retain enough husky roots to grow again! 
This has amused me since but at the time made me 
furious, for Jean Lafitte had been flowering beauti- 
fully along a path at one edge of the garden where it 
had caused much comment with its unfading, rich red 
flowers with velvet sheen. When new leaves pushed 
up | rejoiced, for | had thought it all gone. Several 
divisions | moved nearer the house. One | shall leave 
to bloom along the path and wonder how long it 
will remain."
