Yellow Garden Lilies. 
(Hemerocallis.) 
These beautiful and fragrant golden lilies 
are of the easiest culture, succeeding in al¬ 
most any garden soil. They are reinarkably 
free from the enemies that so unfortunately 
beset many of these garden favorites. By 
a selection from the following list, these 
beautiful lilies can be had in flower from 
May to August. The leaf growth starts 
very early in the spring, adding a pleasing 
light green to the border where they are 
used. This growth auickly shoots up into 
a graceful clump of flowing rich green foli¬ 
age, which lends its attraction to the gar¬ 
den border. Springing from this growth 
graceful flower spikes appear, liberally sup¬ 
plied with flowers and buds for several 
weeks. The color is from soft lemon to 
richest apricot yellow and deep orange, 
varying with the variety. Fragrance delight¬ 
ful. No other one class of strictly hardy 
garden lilies can be depended on to do more 
towards delightful permanent garden 
effects.
