HEMEROCALLIS 
WHY—grow Day Lillies? 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 September. 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 the 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 very remarkable hardiness 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 stalks. 
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.
