HEMEROCALLIS 
The Improved 
Day Lily 
Hemerocallis have narrow, grass- 
like graceful foliage. The plants are 
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 
are 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 with- 
stand 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 sub- 
merged 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 Hemero- 
callis plants may be summed up as 
follows: (1) for rare beauty, rich col- 
oring and charming grace of form; 
(2) for fragrant display and long- 
blooming clumps 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 cli- 
mate; and (5) for clean and decora- 
tive foliage from spring until winter. 
Remember — Hemerocallis plants 
are sure to grow and bloom; they are 
always a success! Send us your or- 
der during summer months or in early 
fall.
