Yellow Garden Lilies 
(Hemerocallis) . 
These beautiful and fragrant golden lilies- 
are of the easiest culture, succeeding in almost 
any garden soil. They are remarkably free 
from the enemies that so unfortunately beset 
so many of our garden favorites. By a selec- 
tion from the following list, these beautiful 
lilies can be had in flower from May to August. 
The leaf growth starts very early in the spring, 
adding a pleasing light green to the border 
where they are used. This growth quickly 
shoots up into a graceful clump of flowing 
rich green foliage, which lends its attraction 
to the garden border. Springing from this 
growth graceful flower spikes appear, liberally 
supplied with flowers and buds for several 
weeks. The color is from soft lemon to rich- 
est apricot yellow and deep orange, varying 
with the variety. Fragrance delightful. No 
other one class of strictly hardy garden lilies 
can be depended on to do more towards de- 
lightful permanent garden effects.
