WHY — grow Day Lilies? No one should overlook the new colorful bells, yellow bells of cheer and peace 
which Nature has given us to luminate our gardens all summer long from late May until early Sep¬ 
tember. Nature has let us hybridize these and add newer pink and rosy bells, wine and purple bells; 
why, even red bells have been added to those of golden hue. And Nature has produced some of these 
funnel-shaped flowers on stalks so tall that we must reach up to touch them and some so small that 
even a tiny baby might smile into their very open hearts. And Nature has added to all these a remark¬ 
able hardiness of growth and an unusual freedom from disease and plant pests. 
HOW — grow them? Plant in a hole large enough to accommodate the bushy roots spread almost 
flat and allow 2" of dirt on the stalk. 
WHERE—Nature asks no special boon for their soil as you may well know from those tremendous clumps 
which have flourished along our country roadsides. Although decayed cow manure may be added to 
advantage to the soil that is not rich, but light and sandy. Plant in full sun or partial shade. 
WHEN — to transplant? This can be done anytime, altho preferably in the spring or fall. Keep them 
watered if planted in the dry heat of mid-summer.
