HEMEROCALLIS 
HEMEROCALLIS. Day Lilv: 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.

Hemerocallis or Day Lilies 
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 
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: 
Albert Dugourd. Most exquisite. A solid violet-rose, so 
flecked with a darker shade as to form a pattern to 
within a quarter of an inch of the margin. 
Ariadne. Basic color is white, flecked pink. Some have 
quite a flush of pink. 
Arlette. White ground deeply flush deep lilac rose and 
delicately pencilled deep reddish violet. 
Baroness. In this the background is greenish-white, but it is 
so closely flecked with nurplish mauve as to appear a 
solid color. Very fine. $1.25 each. 
Delicatissima. Very free blooming, large flowers, white pen¬ 
cilled and flecked with a beautiful rose. Extra strong 
plants. $1 each; 6 for $5. 
Mile. Garrigue. Large flowers of creamy white, pencilled 
purplish violet. 
Prices of above, except as noted. $1.50 each; 4 for $5. 
Orientalis Hybrids Mixed in lovely shades. Extra strong 
4-year-old at 75 cts. each; $7.50 per dozen. Fine, but 
smaller plants, most of which will flower, 60 cts. each; 
$5 per doz. 
^HELLEBORE Ni ger Praecox. The Christmas Rose. En¬ 
tirely different from the preceding. Their habit is much 
lower and the leaves deeply lobed and glossy. The flowers 
are pure white, turning pink as they age. Large plants 
$1.50 each, smaller plants, $1. 
The above prices are postpaid to your door. 
* Indicates plants well suited to rock gardens. 
** Indicates plants suited to the rock garden only. 
Note: I only send roots that have flowered beautifully 
here this year and with good soil they are sure to bloom for 
you.
