Brilliant 
DAYLILIES 
ARE EASY TO GROW 
For gay and showy bloom through- 
out the summer, plant these modern 
hybrid Daylilies (Hemerocallis). The 
newer kinds, developed by such hy- 
bridists as Dr. A. B. Stout of the New York Botanical 
Garden, offer a great variety of color and a long 
season of bloom. While worthy of a place in any gar- 
den, they are so easy to grow that no one need hesi- 
tate to plant them. There is no better plant for the 
lazy gardener, for once Daylilies are set out they need 
little attention. Rarely do insects or diseases 
bother them. Winter-hardy without any covering, 
they will grow and bloom year after year, from New 
England to Florida and from the Atlantic to the 
Pacific. Even the hot, dry summers of the Mid- 
west do not faze them. 
Use Daylilies in the perennial bed singly or in 
groups of two or three. They are excellent for in- 
terplanting with iris or can be combined with phlox 
or used in beds of mixed perennials. Plant 
them in front of the evergreens around your 
home, in the foreground of tall shrubs and 
around the edge of your lawn. They thrive 
in either full sun or partial shade. Allow 
114 to 2 feet between plants. For a variety 
of color and long season of bloom, plant 
several varieties. 
DAYLILIES ARE DELIGHTFUL as 
cut-flowers, and the sprays are long last- 
ing, with new buds opening daily.
