There has been an increasing interest in Hemerocallis, commonly known as lemon 
or day lilies# The recent hybrids are quite an improvement as to size, form and 
color# Due to their ease of growth, freedom from disease and delightful fragrance, 
they have rapidly gained great popularity# They grow well in halfsshade and are 
especially desirable for their long season of bloom# By a Judicious selection of 
varieties, you oan have them in bloom from May to August# Hybridizers are watch¬ 
ing some varieties that promise to develop into fall bloomers# These would be a 
welcome addition to the hemerocallis family# 
The following list comprises the best hybrids of the well known hybridizers. 
Dr# Stout and Mr# Chas# Betscher, besides some other desirable varieties# The 
Betscher hybrids are numbered as to thoir color tones, 1-7 are different shades 
of yellow varying from a delicate pale yellow to the deeper shades of golden yel¬ 
low; from 8 on the color tone is more orange, which is intensified in some var# 
It is known that hemerocallis will bloom even under the hottest and driest con¬ 
ditions, thus forming one of our most valuable summer bloomers# While they will 
grow under almost any condition, they will respond to enrichment of the soil and 
watering during dry weather, by producing larger and better flowers# The roots 
should be planted about 3 inches deep, spreading them out, and firming the soil 
well over them* Hemerocallis can be resot locally almost any timo, but for shipping 
purposes can only be sent in spring and early fall#
