Yellow Garden Lilies (Hemerocallis.) 
These beautiful and fragrant golden lilies arc of easiest culture, succeeding in almost any 
garden soil. They are remarkably free from the enemies that so unfortunately beset so many 
of our 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 spnng, adding 
a pleasing light green to the border where they are used. This growth quickly shoots up into 
a graceful clump of flowing rich green foliage, which lends its attraction to the gaiclen boidei. 
Springing from this growth graceful flower spikes appear, liberally supplied 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 delightful. . No other one class of strictly haidy 
garden lilies can be depended on to do more towards delightful permanent garden effects. Plant 
fhese lilies in the early fall and an abundance of flowers will follow the following blooming 
season.
