The modern daylily is a far cry from the 
old lemon lily and tawny Hemerocallis fulva, 
beautiful and useful though they were in their 
time. Recent hybridizers have added almost 
the hues of the rainbow to the daylily’s color 
scheme, and now there are many variations of 
ye'low and orange, gold and apricot, bronze, 
rosy-pink and red, even to nearly purple and 
black. 
Our list contains a happy selection of 
some of the best of the standard varieties, and 
a goodly number of the new and most desir¬ 
able types for the perennial planting. All are 
offered subject to supply and prior sales. 
The daylily is grown with good success from the colds of Canada to the warmest 
tropics, and we will always be gj(ad to offer any suggestions as to plantings in differ¬ 
ent climates. Few plants are**at home under as many varying conditions as the 
Hemerocallis. They require only a good, well-drained garden soil of average richness, 
and plenty of moisture during the growing and blooming season. While they will 
survive severe drought, they cannot be expected to perform their best under un¬ 
favorable conditions. 
Some of the Northern varieties are not entirely suitable for planting in warm 
climates, and possibly a few of the Southern kinds need thorough testing in Northern 
areas. We want you to be pleased with our daylilies, and feel sure you will be de¬ 
lighted with them and more than repaid for any extra trouble you take with them. 
We guarantee plants to live and grow under reasonable conditions and will replace 
any that do not survive, within one year of delivery, if advised of the full conditions 
and sufficient stock is on hand. 
We are listing the daylilies in groups, according to their natural species and 
varieties, and those of leading breeders. Delivery in late summer and fall, also in 
early spring, occasionally at other times as required. We are especially interested 
in developing new shades and forms of red and pink colored daylilies and the darker 
tones in general. Most of these like some shade during the hot part of the dav in 
summer or they will wilt.
