Modern Daylilies-HEMEROCALLIS 



Said Fleeta Brovvnell Woodroffe, in an issue of the Flower 

 Grower magazine . . . "Daylilies, though far from new, are 

 definitely among the important perennials of today. They 

 have revolutionized the planting of hardy gardens, because 

 now new hybrids of the yellow Daylilies can be had for the 

 unfailing supply of their truly lily-like flowers from tulip 

 time till early frosts. And these are adaptable, hardy, and 

 easy to grow .... 



"Frilled, Huted, powdered with gold dust, decorated with 

 fetching patterns in crisp apple green, dusky maroon, and 

 chocolate brown — or wearing shadowy halos of rose and terra- 

 cotta, July's Daylilies are a glorious sight . . . They spill 

 over into the walks with their amazing array of starry-faced 

 trumpets. 



"It is this dependable succession of bloom coupled with their 

 surprising adaptability and their utter freedom from miffiness 

 of any kind which puts these newer Daylilies 'way out in 

 front ... in Cuba, Florida, Louisiana, Mexico and Southern 

 California, Daylilies lift their clusters of golden lily-like 

 flowers as happily as along the northern line of Minnesota 

 and Maine. "
