PLUM MIST one of best for Midwest gardens. From a 
list compiled by Mr. George Lenington, past president 
of the Hemerocallis Society, PLUM MIST is among 30 
plants which were considered ‘‘among the very best 
for Midwest gardens’ by a group of ten people, living 
in five different states, to whom Mr. Lenington sent his 
questionnaires. Taken from an article in Mr. Ben 
Arthur Davis’ very fine book on DAYLILIES. 
PRIDE OF DIXIE (Riegel) M 36” 5.00 
Very outstanding glowing orange with a veining 
of bright rose. It has an eyezone of rose red that 
goes almost to the tips of the petals which are re- 
curved. Almost a continuous bloomer. 
PRIMA DONNA (Taylor) M 36” Ev. A.M. 1952 7.50 
If a poll were taken of those varieties ‘‘most want- 
ed'', this would rank among the highest, for it is one 
of the most beautiful pastels. It is a blend producing 
peach tones in subtle variations, and the more you 
look at it, the more you like it. The flowers are full, 
and the substance is excellent. 
PRIMULA (Kraus) EM 38” H.M. 1953 3.00 
Large, early, frilled and ruffled flowers of Empire 
yellow. Opens fully even on dull, cool days. It is 
almost continuous blooming, and one of the finest 
performers in the garden. 
PRINCESS (Stout) M 33” Ev. 7D 
One of the lightest yellow daylilies. Open facing 
flowers of clear yellow, beautifully recurved and 
fragrant. 
PURPLE FINCH (Nesmith) M 42” 1.00 
Brilliant iridescent red purple with deeper flame- 
like blotch in the throat around a small yellow center. 
PURPLE SAGE (Russell) E 36” 1.00 
Deep wine. The petals are ruffled, with a slightly 
yellow mid-rib. 
PURPLE WATERS (Russell) EM 35” Ev. 1.00 
Full flowers of deep rich wine, The slightly reflex- 
ed sepals and petals are ruffled. This variety is al- 
ways among the most popular. 
QUEEN ESTHER (H.P. Sass) M 36” A.M. 1953 2.00 
A brilliant self of truly crimson velvet with good 
substance and branching. An excellent variety for 
accent. 
QUEEN OF GONZALES (Russell) E 34” Ev. 1.00 
A huge wide-petaled early orange of deepest gold. 
The substance is heavy and firm. Repeats. Flowers 
last well through the evening. 
QUOTE ME (Russell) EM 30” 2.00 
Large, deep yellow with ruffled petals and slightly 
recurved sepals. The form is very attractive, and 
flower arrangers often choose this for its distinctive 
form. 
RAVEN (Wheeler) E 36” H.M, 1953 Ev. 4.00 
This seems to be the darkest daylily we grow. It is 
a deep wine red with black pile and chartreuse throat. 
Though dark, it is radiantly alive, because of its satiny 
sheen. 
RED BIRD (Stout) M 36” Ev. 1.50 
Brilliant red, excellent garden subject, as the well 
branched scapes carry many blossoms. 
RED DOT (Kraus) M 22” 3.00 
A sprightly red with darker eye zone. Excellent for 
the front of the border. 
RED MARVEL (Douglas) M 39” Semi-De. 8.00 
A very brilliant, rich red, near Current Red, but it 
is deeper and has a velvety sheen that adds to its 
depth and brilliance. An absolute self except for the 
small yellow cup in the heart of the flower. 
RED ROCK CANYON (Milliken) EM 48” Ev. 1.25 
A full large orange-red flower with a heavier shad- 
ing of Brazil red. Very rich and showy.
