Foreword 
There is a charm about a flower border with a full sea¬ 
son of bloom from earliest spring to frost that requires 
little care, yet increases in beauty from year to year. 
Right at the top of the list for sucb planting are the 
Hemerocallis or Daylilies. Of late there has been a tre¬ 
mendous interest in this the “Perennial Supreme” with 
its long season of bloom, its wide range of color shades 
and varying height for effective grouping in the border. 
Daylilies are of rapid increase and absolutely hardy. Some 
of the early varieties bloom again in the fall. 
Without the lovely Daffodils, spring would lose much of 
its charm. They bloom early in many varied beautiful 
types and have few equals in garden flowers. Once planted 
they come back in more enchanting beauty each year. 
Annuals or shallow rooted perennials can be grown over 
them as the bulbs are below the root system of these 
plants. A bulb each of several outstanding new kinds 
would be a splendid investment, as they increase so rapid¬ 
ly. In a few years each bulb would make a large clump 
with many rare blooms of outstanding loveliness. 
Nothing adds more to the joy of living than an absorb¬ 
ing interest in flowers. There is something about a garden 
that relieves our cares and worries and gives us a new 
initerest ih life for it is indeed true that “Anyone who has 
a garden has a future; and anyone who has a future is 
alive.”
