A lovely stranger comes to our gardens 



/ 



Not that this group of plants is exactly a stranger, 

 but the new introductions listed herewith are so great 

 an improvement on the familiar so-called "Day Lilies" 

 cr "Lemon Lilies" that you would scarcely recognize 

 them as such. 



We have gathered together this limited list of the 

 finest new productions from American, English and 

 Japanese hybridists, and we can assure you that no 

 flower of the summer and early autumn season will 

 provide greater satisfaction where tones of yellow 

 and orange are desired. They are especially desir- 

 able in the Japanese Iris garden, or among the lily 

 plantings, for they lend a splash of color wholly lack- 

 ing in either of these groups. Besides, they are fine 

 cut-flower subjects, for while the individual blossoms 

 last for only a day, new ones follow so rapidly that 

 there is a continuous succession of blooms. They are 

 deliciously fragrant. 



CULTURE. Simple and easy to grow, they demand 

 only a reasonably moist soil, fairly rich, and prefer — 

 but do not require — slight shade. They are true hardy 

 perennials. Plants will be delivered in September or 

 October.
