HEMEROCALLIS 
- Flower of Destiny! - 
Imagine, if you please, waxy, fragrant, lily-like flowers 
gracefully poised on wiry stems three feet tall, blooming 
in great profusion for a solid month - one of the hot sum- 
mer months, at that. ; 
Imagine this flower, unaffected by insects or diseases, 
heat or cold, growing stronger and more beautiful through 
the years, easy to transplant and grow. 
Imagine colors ranging through a gamut which includes 
various shades of yellow, from pale lemon to deep-golden, 
tan, pink, rose, red, brown, maroon and purple. in blooms 
two to eight inches in diameter. 
Imagine these beautiful flowers, sweetly fragrant, en- 
livening the border all summer, from iris-time till frost, 
and also serving as beautiful cut-flowers, by themselves 
or mixed with other flowers. 
If you can imagine a flower with all these almost-too- 
good-to-be-true qualities, you will not need to De a crystal- 
gazer to predict that such a flower would be, inevitably, 
destined to become the most popular of all flowers of its 
season, once these qualities are known, recognized and 
plants propagated in sufficient numbers to be available 
at popular prices. 
Believe it or not, there is such a flower. Its name is 
“hemerocallis‘’ and thats the worst thing we can say about 
it. A more common and descriptive nick-name is “day-lily”, 
so-called because its blooms are replaced by fresh ones 
each day. 
By choosing varieties having different seasons of bloom 
you can enjoy day-lilies from May to Octover. In our 
climate, and farther south, early varieties often repeat 
in late Fall. 
Planting is best done in early Spring or early Fall. 
With care they can be transplanted any time during the 
summer but we do not disturb plants while in bloom. In 
fact, because of shortage of help we will ship only in the 
fall, from August Ist to Nov. 1st. Planting in early fall
