HEMEROC ALLIS 
Plants of the easiest possible culture, of utter hardiness, no known pests, and of great beauty through 
a long season—May to September. Fall or very early Spring planting. For finest bloom leave clumps un¬ 
disturbed for three seasons. 
“Daylilies (Hemerocallis) are now to be ranked among the most desirable of perennials for the flower 
garden. A selection of varieties will provide daylilies in bloom from May until late August. The gardener 
who knows only the old lemon daylily, H flava, and the old fulvous daylily, Europa, has in store an agreeable 
surprise when he sees a collection of the best of the newer hybrids.”—From a lecture by Prof. A. B. Stout 
at the New York Botanical Garden. 
We offer a well chosen list of these Daylilies. (1) The best of the old familiar garden types; (2) A few 
of the newly discovered species that

FULVA—(Species). The old roadside daylily, com¬ 
mon as old lilac bushes on deserted farms. Karl 
Foerster says of Fulva: “Niemand weisz, wo 
sie herkam, was sie eigentlich sagen will, und 
warum sie nie sterben kann.” Unless you had 
come upon her gleaming in the sun, you would 
never realize that this neglected old creature 
is the parent of wonderful new progeny, some 
of the new hybrids that show reddish shades. 
Used as a garden plant and propagated by 
division since 1576.

golden yellow, two shades lighter than Crown
