PERENNIAL PLANT SPECIALTIES— Continued 
HEMEROCALLIS 
HEMEROCALLIS, Day LiUes 
Showy and long flowering with the large lily-like blooms on tall 
stout stems above the attractive grassy foliage, few plants will 
give so much for so little care. They thrive in any sunny location 
with fair moisture. They are most desirable in the hot interior 
valleys and southern California. Plant them in any deeply worked 
soil, dress each fall with manure if you would have them at their 
best and flood every ten days. Where there is an irrigation ditch 
they will be most happy planted on the bank. See my catalog of 
perennials for the supreme new varieties, now at prices within 
reach, and the finer old varieties. Here ore a few outstanding ones.

Spring Planting 
A group of rare shade loving plants of appealing beauty. All 
require constant shade, cool moist situations and an acid soil rich
