PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING 
Order Early. Shipment will be made at 
your convenience. Since our stock is 
limited and orders are filled in sequence 
received, avoid disappointment by order- 
ing early. 
Terms. Cash with order. Reservations 
accepted only when accompanied by full 
amount of purchase price. 
Prices are based on strong single divisions 
that should bloom the first year, but since 
garden conditions and gardening skills vary 
widely, we can make no guarantee. 
We Do Guarantee—healthy stock, freshly 
dug, true to name, properly labeled, and 
packed to reach you in good condition. 
Should shipment be unsatisfactory to you 
in any way return promptly and we will 
replace, or refund full amount of purchase 
price. 
Discounts and Bonus Plants. 
$10.00 or more, we will: 
(1). Allow a cash discount of 10%; or 
(2). If you prefer to send the full pur- 
chase price you may select from 
our list, plants to the value of 20% 
of the order. 
The above does not apply to collections 
already priced at lowest figure, or to new 
introductions which are net even to dealers. 
Mail Orders. We still pay postage on all 
retail orders but because parcel post rates 
and all costs of handling have greatly in- 
creased, we can accept no orders for mail- 
ing under $5.00. Where special handling 
is desired, please add 20c. We recom- 
mend it particularly in extremes of weather 
or for long distances. 
Substitution. We will refund rather than 
substitute when stock is not available, un- 
On orders of 
less you request otherwise and give us 
second choices. On very scarce items, 
however, we are glad to accept reservations 
and are often able to make delivery much 
sooner than we expected. 
Shipments. Regular season from March 
Ist to December Ist. Interim orders by 
special arrangement. We recommend only 
spring and early summer shipments to 
northern gardens. For Florida and the 
Gulf Coast, fall planting is perhaps pre- 
ferable, but we have found from experience 
that daylilies may be planted successfully 
at any time except mid-summer. 
Replacements. We are glad to replace any 
plant received from us that is not satisfac- 
tory provided we are notified promptly and 
postage is enclosed. 
Gifts. Daylilies make fine gifts for they 
are continual reminders of your thoughtful- 
ness. Consult with us and we will be glad 
to carry out any commission entrusted 
to us. 
Our Catalog is free. We send it each year 
to our regular customers, to members of 
the American Hemerocallis Society, and to 
dealers and hybridizers in exchange for 
their own. If you wish to be put on our 
mailing list send us a card with your name 
and address plainly typed, (illegible writ- 
ing results only in expense to us and dis- 
appointment to you), and help us keep our 
files current by notifying us of a changed 
address. 
Acknowledgment. We thank you who 
have been our faithful friends during the 
years; it is through you and your good will 
that our business continues to grow. 
A happy 1955 to you and your garden. 
We are a member of the American Hemerocallis Society, 
an accredited judge, and this year we begin our term as a 
member of the Board of Directors. 
We feel the Society has done a great deal for all of us, 
amateurs and professionals alike, and on its record ask your 
support. 
The dues are $3.50, payable annually, and entitle 
you to the current Year Book, the quarterly Newsletters, as well 
as other services of the Society. 
The highlight of each year is the annual meeting, which 
will take place this year in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on May 17, 
18 and 19. Plan to attend and schedule your arrival a day 
early so you can also see the Hemerocallis Show presented by 
the Hemerocallis Garden Club of Baton Rouge. 
Send dues (check or money order) to: 
or, if you prefer to include them with an 
order to us we will remit for you and add a 
daylily worth $3.00 to your order.
