earlier sorts that comparatively few gardeners are familiar with them. 
To make you better acquainted with the modern (Daylilies, we offer 10 
beautiful varieties, named and labeled, for only $3.50—but a fraction of 
their catalog values. Or, unlabeled for only $2.50 with an order that totals 
$5.00 or more. 
We shall be glad to quote most attractive prices on Hemerocallis in 
lots of 50 to 1000 roots.
