Hemerocallis 
FOREWORD 
The great family of Hemerocallis with many species, ranging in height 
from 6 inches to 5 feet, in time of blooming from early May to late October 
and in color range from palest yellow to deep fulvous red, has furnished 
plants known and loved in gardens for generations. They have offered 
fascinating possibilities to the hybridizer, and in the last 25 years remarkable 
results have been obtained. 
The new hybrids, which far surpass the older varieties in beauty, have 
caused a veritable sensation in the gardening world. The range of color has 
been greatly extended and passes through every conceivable gradation and 
combination of soft yellow, brilliant gold, orange and salmon pink, deepen¬ 
ing to maroon. Their foliage is handsome and effective, and with their 
different habits and periods of bloom, their hardiness and their permanence, 
they are indispensable to the hardy border.
