Yellow Garden Lilies 
(Hemerocallis) 
T HIS genius includes the popular old garden Lemon-Lilly, the Tawny Lily 
and many new varieties. 
There are a number of other forms which are very inviting and attractive, 
blooming from early June until well along in September. They are among the 
hardiest and most desirable of all hardy herbaceous plants, of earliest culture and 
dependable in every respect, living for many years undisturbed, producing 
annually their long ribbon-like foliage and abundance of attractive flowers. They 
are remarkably free from enemies of every kind and live without protection, even 
in the severest winters. These lilies will thrive in partial shade though they 
reach their highest development and greatest freedom of bloom in sunshine.
