BRIGHT TAYLOR, (Bass) #49A41. A seed- 
ling of Rose Gem and Black Prince, this large 
clear, velvety red has won more than its 
share of honors already. A three times Tri- 
color winner in the Valdosta Hemerocallis 
Show, this year it polled the largest number 
of accredited judges’ votes for Junior Citation. 
A midseason bloomer of excellent substance 
and sunfastness, this first hybrid from the 
Bass garden is only a forerunner of many fine 
things to come. Evergreen (see inside front 
cover). Each $15.00 
HONEY MIST, #13-30. A very large, wide- 
petaled, soft, Empire Yellow (9 K 3) deepen- 
ing slightly at the greenish yellow throat. An 
early bloomer of multiflora habit, it is a won- 
derful garden plant. Those who like Daunt- 
less and the Duchess of Windsor will welcome 
with pleasure this paler, more floriferous mem- 
ber of the trio. Evergreen. Each $5.00 
SUN DOWN, #17-31. 
A 5” flower of heavy 
substance with petals wide and ruffled; sepals, 
recurved. The throat is green, shading to 
light Chrome Yellow (10 L 4) which is the 
basic color of the flower, but it is so heavily 
dusted with Rose Ash (6 J 9) that the basic 
color is lost sight of. Many flowers are borne 
on the 36” scape so that there is a continual 
splash of color from its place in the garden. 
Evergreen and delightfully fragrant. 
Each $5.00

CELEBRITY, #354. The most completely 
baffling blossom we have ever tried to de- 
scribe. Each season since it first bloomed we 
have tried to match its color on the color 
chart, with a different result each time. 
Basically, between Coralbell and Jasper Red 
(3 I 10) there is an elusive quality to its tex- 
ture which causes it to change in shifting 
lights. A round, compact form, similar to 
Baronet, but larger, it has a greenish yellow 
throat which sets off the color of the flower. 
Scapes, 36” tall and well branched. Early 
midseason. . Evergreen, 
LEADING LADY, #414. A large flower of 
Jasper Red (3K 10) with wide ivory midrib 
on petals and sepals, giving at a distance the 
appearance of pink and white stripes. The 
effect is heightened by a large pale yellow 
throat so that an established clump is very 
showy. The 40” scapes have many buds and 
bloom over a long period. Evergreen and 
vigorous; it. increases fast. Each $10.00
