Adelaide Nieland 
ADELAIDE NIELAND, #14-10. This evergreen 
daylily first bloomed in 1950, a medium sized flower 
of round compact form. The color is near Persian 
Lilac (51 H 1). The segments are wide and ruffled; 
the throat, green when first opening, fades into pale 
yellow as it ages. Sunfast and vigorous, it blooms 
for long periods of time at frequent intervals during 
the season, in our garden. With our limited stock 
we would have preferred waiting until 1956 to offer 
it, but the many requests have made it so difficult, 
we are introducing it now. J.C. 1954 THS.

CRINOLINE, #16-18. With the blooming of this 
seedling we felt we were making some small progress 
in our effort to develop a real pink. It is very near 
to Pl. 1 I 8 in Maerz & Paul, and remarkably like 
the color of a pink snapdragon that was blooming in 
the garden at the same time that day. Not large, 
with the distinctive form of Royal Ruby (one of its 
ancestors) it has a small, round, green throat and a 
vigorous habit of growth. An early bloomer, it is 
also recurrent. With only a limited number of 
plants for this season, we can promise no deliveries 
before June 1, so do not order unless you will wait.

QUINCY,—Peach Beige or Cafe au Lait—call it what 
you will, this spectacular seedling defies description. 
The green throat blends into yellow which is com- 
pletely bordered by a wide band of reddish purple. 
A bold flower, its very carriage on the scape has an 
audacious character, as if flaunting its beauty for all 
to admire. From the day of its first bloom in 1950, 
it has never failed to get the attention of all in the 
garden. Excellent substance, completely sunfast, 
with well branched scapes on which several blossoms 
open at the same time, we consider this daylil 
perhaps our finest creation. J.C. 1953 THS (see 
front cover). Each $25.00
