F oreword 
There is a charm about a flower border with a full season 
of bloom from earliest spring till frost, requiring prac¬ 
tically no care, yet increasing in beauty from year to year. 
Rigiht at the top of the list for this planting are the Hemer- 
ocallis or Daylilies. Of late there has been a tremendous 
interest in this the “Perrennial Supreme” with its long 
season of bloom, its wide range of color shades and vary¬ 
ing height for effective grouping in the border. Daylilies 
are of rapid increase and absolutely hardy. Some of the 
early varieties bloom again in the fall. Today, September 
20, Minor and Dr. Regel after, filling a brilliant place in the 
Spring Pagaent of flowers, are staging an encore of fad 
b loom. If you have never grown Homcror-al'is you havp a 
bloom in my garden. If you have never grown Hemero- 
callis you have a treat in store. 
There has been wonderful progress of late years in the 
development of Daffodils. Magnificent new kinds are now 
available. Altho these new varieties are comparatively high 
in price, a single bulb of several outstanding new kinds 
would be a splendid investment in beauty as they increase 
go rapidly. In a few years each bulb would make a large 
clump with many rare blooms of outstanding loveliness. 
These fine newer Daffodils are indeed a revelation in beau¬ 
ty. The hardy lilies 1 list, with, their long season of Room 
would add to the beauty of your Hemerocallis — Daffodil 
planting. Annual pink Shirley Poppies, which self-sow, 
should be scattered through and a border of Dwarf Pumila 
Irises. Try this planting. It will surely please you. 
Nothing adds more to the joy of living than an absorbing 
interest in flowers. There is something about a garden that 
relieves our cares and worries and gives us a new interest 
in life for it is indeed true that “Anyone who has a garden 
'has a future; and anyone who has a future is alive.
