Planting may be done any time soil is unfrozen. May be divided any time desired. Grow¬ 
ing from seeds, plant as soon as ripe, late fall or early spring. One inch deep, about 2x2 
inches apart. Cover with burlap. Leave two years, then replant 4 inches deep, 4 or 6 
inches apart in rows. Cover with burlap or straw, first two winters in seed beds. Some 
will bloom third or fourth year. 
Some sorts open in early morning, close at night and are called day bloomers. Others open 
in late afternoon, close early the following morning and are called night bloomers. In very 
cool weather, we have seen both types open for forty-eight hours. 
Planting liliums with Hemerocallis 10 or 12 inches away from them gives a fine show when 
hems are not in bloom. The shade of Hemerocallis foliage provides an ideal place for most 
sorts of liliums. 
Gladioli may be planted about them July 1st to 15th to follow liliums. 
We had planned to send out a new set this spring. The prospective demand was such that 
we deemed it best to postpone their release until spring 1937, perhaps this fall. The de¬ 
mand for hems, this spring is very heavy.
