HEMEROCALLIS. . .The Improved Day Lily 
H EMEROCALLIS have narrow, grass-like graceful foliage. The plants are remarkably 
free from enemies, and need no protection of any kind, even in the severest winters. The 
funnel-shaped blossoms are of large size, borne on many flowered stems well above the foliage 
so that they are readily seen, even at a distance. They much resemble true lilies. While perfectly 
hardy throughout the North and East, they are very valuable in the South and West because of 
their ability to withstand great heat and drought. 
Instead of bulbs, this perennial grows from thick, fleshy, tuberous roots which may be planted 
any month in the year. The roots should be placed about three inches deep in rich garden loam. 
In any fair soil if given a reasonable amount of moisture, the plants will produce excellent 
flowers. They will grow even though half submerged in water, and will flower if planted in 
full sun or partial shade. 
Varying sizes, seasons of bloom, and flower shades of red, apricot, pink, salmon, orange, 
yellow, buff, and citron now are available. A selected group of varieties will produce bloom 
from the beginning of May throughout the summer months, a time when the garden is, other¬ 
wise, very much at a standstill. 
The reasons for the growing of Hemerocallis by the amateur gardener may be summed up 
as follows: (1) for rare beauty, rich coloring and charming grace of form; (2) for fragrant 
display and long-lasting cut-flowers from early May until mid-September; (3) for unsurpassed 
hardiness and freedom from disease and insect pests; (4) for ease of growth in any soil and in 
any climate; and (5) for clean and decorative foliage from spring until winter. 
Remember—Hemerocallis plants are sure to grow and bloom; they are always a success/
