13 ECENT years have seen great improvements in Hemerocallis as well as a 
3 l great increase in their popularity. The season of bloom has been much 
extended and now we have varieties which open in May, others which do not 
open until September, and a continuous procession between these dates. 
Many of the new Daylilies produce far more flowers to a stem than the older 
types, and remain open for a longer period. The flowers of some of these are 
very large, six inches or more in diameter while others especially the multiflora 
hybrids are very much smaller but are usually borne in clusters. The color 
range now includes not only the older orange and yellows, but buffs, pinks, 
reds, and bicolors in varying shades. Some varieties have small grassy foliage 
while on others the foliage is coarse almost palm-like thus offering a wide 
variety. 
Any garden, even if small, can use quite a number of these plants and they will 
add a charming note over a long season if care has been used in selecting 
varieties. Hemerocallis are perfectly hardy. They grow well either in full sun 
or partial shade, in dry or wet soil and demand minimum care. We present a 
carefully selected list which includes most of the outstanding varieties, both the 
older and more recent introductions, early to late blooming and a wide range 
of beautiful colors. Y7e have used a ★ to indicate some of the varieties which 
especially appeal to us. The plants which we ship have from three to five 
stalks except in the case of a few of the very scarce varieties, but all are large 
strong plants which will take hold and grow readily. In the list (E) indicates 
an early blooming variety, (M) midseason, and (L) late. The name in paren¬ 
thesis following the plant name is that of the originator.
