HYPERION (Mead, 1924) shown above, is probably the best known of the Daylilies from the 1920's.  It is a Dormant, and blooms much shorter than it does in the north, but it does okay here.  The blooms are very fragrant.

J. A. Crawford (Betscher, 1929) got rust and died during the 2004 hurricanes, but I will leave the photo up since photos of plants this old are rare.

IRIS PERRY (Perry, 1925).  This flower was hybridized in England.  It has some susceptibility to rust, but appears to be able to be grown okay here.

MARGARET PERRY (Perry, 1925).   Some consider this plant to be a clone of Hemerocallis fulva.  It is one of the parents of SUNSET, which appears on the 1930's page.  I think that these two are among the prettiest of Daylilies.
