“IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE COUNTRY’S VERY HEART 
WERE CENTERED HERE, AND THAT ITS AN TIQUE GRACE 
MUST HOLD IT FROM THE WORLD APART. 
IMMURED IT LIES AMONG THE MEADOWS DEEP, 
ITS FLOWERY STILLNESS BEAUTIFUL AND CALM.” 
John Russell Hayes 
Now that American gardening has passed beyond the 
“freshman” stage the beauty of informal plantings is being 
increasingly appreciated, and the Hemerocallis or Yellow 
Day-lily is particularly suited by character and habit to 
such untrammeled growth. In her delightful book on “Old 
Time Gardens,” Mrs. Earle tells us that the Lemon Lily 
(Yellow Day-lily) was “a favorite flower” and that “often 
its unbounded luxuriance exiled it from the front yard 
to the kitchen door-yard. Its pretty old-fashioned name 
was Liricon-fancy, given, I am told, in England to the 
Lily-of-the-valley. I know of no more satisfying sight 
than a good bank of these Lemon Lilies in full flower.”
