Greetings to Our Daylily Friends 
With this issue of our Daylily Catalog we enter our tenth year of business. It has been an 
exciting time for daylily development. It has seen the formation of the Hemerocallis Society; the 
setting-up of standards for judging and rating daylilies; the establishment of awards and honors for 
outstanding varieties; and last but certainly not least, it has been a period of intensive development 
and improvement of our favorite flower. 
Our policy throughout this time has been to grow the newest and finest daylilies from all sources; 
then to select those of outstanding merit and offer them to our customers. Many we have listed in 
the past have been crowded out of our catalog by better newcomers; some have persisted and are still 
near the best in their color section. A study of our list will show that most of the winners of awards 
and honors are included. Many of our own introductions have achieved considerable fame. 
To show our appreciation of the continued confidence our customers have had in our plants and 
service, we are this year offering, with every order, a gift plant. We suggest you mention colors and 
types you would like to have when you place your order. 
Please note that we have returned to alphabetical listing of varieties. However on page 11 we 
give a listing of our favorites by color classes. If in doubt select from this list. We know you will find 
every variety entirely satisfactory. Please read ‘Terms’ at end of catalog before ordering.
