HEMEROCALLIS, The Improved Day Lily 
Hemerocallis have narrow, grass-like, graceful foliage. The plants ore remarkably free from enemies, 
and need no protection of any kind, even in the severest winters. The funnel-shaped lily-like blossoms are of 
large size, borne on many flowered stems well above the foliage so that they ore readily seen, even at a 
distance. While perfectly hardy throughout the North and East, Hemerocallis plants are very valuable in the 
South and West because of their ability to withstand summer heat and drought. 
Instead of growing from bulbs as do true lilies, this perennial grows from thick, fleshy, tuberous roots 
which may be planted any month in the year. The roots should be placed about 3 inches deep in rich garden 
loam. In any fair soil if given a reasonable amount of moisture, the plants will produce excellent flowers. 
They will grow even though half submerged in water, and will flower if planted in full or partial shade. The 
clumps increase in size each year and produce a greater quantity of bloom stalks. 
The reasons for growing Hemerocallis plants may be summed up as follows: (1) for rare beauty, rich 
coloring and charming grace of form; (2) for fragrant display and long-lasting cut-flowers from late May until 
early September; (3) for unsurpassed hardiness and freedom from disease and insect pests; (4) for ease of 
growth in any soil and in any climate; and (5) for clean and decorative foliage from spring until winter. 
Remember—Hemerocallis plants are sure to grow and bloom; they are always a successl Send us your
