In these days of scarce labor it is surely wise to plant 
hardy perennials that require no nursing and codling. Day- 
lilies, you know, are actually fool-proof. They know no di- 
sease or insect pests. They will grow and do well in full 
sun or half shade; in wet or dry, acid or lime soil. Of 
course, they respond beautifully to careful cultivation and 
repay you many times for that trouble, but they keep right 
on blooming when neglected.
