HEMEROCALLIS 
HEMEROCALLIS. Day Lily: Lemon Lily. Beautiful and 
thoroughly reliable old time favorites belonging to the 
lily family. They are perfectly hardy anywhere and 
as they stand much heat are especially valuable in the 
South and in California. They stand much moisture, 
even to being partially submerged which makes them 
ideal for stream-sides and at margins of ponds. Cult: 
Best in partially shaded situations but do well in full 
sun. To have them at their best a rich moist soil is 
essential, yet they will stand much abuse. PI., fall to 
spring. Divide every four years. I send plants that 
flower the first year but they are not at their best until 
the second. As each variety flowers at a different date, 
you should plant a wide selection of varieties to prolong 
the bloom. 
NEW INTRODUCTIONS AND SUPERFINE VARIETIES

a foremost authority on Hemerocallis so rates it. Grows

wavy on upper margin. Color is light canary yellow,

Hemerocallis or Day Lilies 
results use rich loam and coarse sand, with a top dress¬ 
ing or rotted manure. A moist well drained, partly shaded 
situation is preferable. In California give rather deep 
shade. I offer the following Millet Hybrids:

quite a flush of pink. 
Arlette. White ground deeply flush deep lilac rose and 
delicately pencilled deep reddish violet.

so closely flecked with purplish mauve as to appear a 
solid color. Very fine. $1.25 each. 
Butterfly. Purplish mauve shaded deeper mauve. 
Charlotte. Mauve. Delicately blotched with white and 
purple.

HELLEBORES 
HELLEBORES, Christmas Rose; Lenten Rose. Hardy per¬ 
ennials admired for their attractive early flowers and 
for their handsome leaves. There are two quite distinct 
types. H. Orientalis Hybrids, the Lenten rose, have many 
large palmate leaves, rising from a heavy root to make 
a bold evergreen clump, 18 inches high and as wide in 
old plants. Once established they continue for years. 
The flowers are in many beautiful shades and often 3 
inches across. They last fresh for many months, here 
in California from October to April and in colder regions 
each milder spell in winter brings out the buds. I im¬ 
ported from Millet of France his finest varieties and 
these are now ready to sell My collection of over 25 
named varieties is doubtless the largest in America and 
here conditions for their growth are unusually good. 
Cult: They thrive in ordinary garden soil but for best
