THE NEW DAY LILIES 
(Hemerocallis) 
Since the hybridists have become interested in day lilies, a new era of popu¬ 
larity has dawned for them. Now no modern garden is complete without some 
of the new varieties. There is good reason for the welcome the newcomers 
have been given, as their old virtues of ease of culture and freedom from dis¬ 
ease and pests have been retained, while the flowers have become larger, and 
the sheen and texture of the petals is richer, the plants bear more heavily, the 
blooming period has been extended, new colors are appearing, and as yet we 
are only on the threshold of the transformations that will appear. 
These plants will grow anywhere in sun or shade. They require no coddling 
in the shape of rich soil or special treatment. They are entirely hardy and their 
sheaves of shining gold lilies appear summer after summer with unfailing regu¬ 
larity for a life time. A well established clump will have scores of flowers open 
at the same time every day of its blooming season. Many varieties have a sweet 
and delicate odor.
