WZ Hou to Use DAYLILIES 
‘ 
No special spot 1s required for Daylilies. They thrive from 
Oe Boston to Los Angeles, Seattle to Miami; in lime or acid, sandy or 
clay soils; sun or light shade; m hot or cold, wet or dry climates. 
The new colors of the Stout Hybrids let. you use an artist’s 
palette of tones. You can select: two-toned flowers like Caballero, 
\ flowers with peach tints, pastel tones, blended tones, or solid 
colors from the soft yellow of Patricia to the wine-red of Port. 
The habits and character of Daylilies make them one of the 
most useful of all perennials. The plants are bushy to the ground 
with graceful foliage that blends well with other leaves, and with- 
out cultivation or attention faithfully produce handsome flowers 
each year. 
Daylilies will take your eyes away from an unsightly view and 
will fit many a gap where “nothing will grow,” or where you just 
haven’t bothered to fill in with a plant. 















CUT-FLOWER ARRANGEMENT. New 
flowers open daily on original stem; one 
cutting lasts a week. (See p. 14.) Combine 
with flowers like Gaillardia, Heliopsis, or 
Veronica; with foliage of Cranberry, Red- 
leaf Maple, Oregon Hollygrape. 
FLOWER GARDEN. Plant in groups of 3 or 
more in large borders, singly in smaller beds. 
Combine with Tall Bearded Iris, Iris 
Kaempferi, Phlox, and similar flowers. 
FOUNDATION PLANTING. In foreground 
of evergreens about your home; especially 
handsome about cottage types of houses. 
HOBBY. Collecting Daylilies gives true re- 
laxation from wartime worries and offers 
lifetime enjoyment. 


NATURALIZING. Plant Daylilies 
along a creek or pool or in an open 
spot in your favorite woodland. 
Daylilies require no coddling or at- 
tention; without cultivation will 
bloom profusely in a natural setting. 
SHRUBBERY BORDER. Take leggy 
Deutzias, Lilacs, and Mock-oranges 
off their ‘“‘stilts’” with an under- 
planting of Daylilies. Use enough 
plants, 2 to 21% ft. apart, to give 
color from May through October.
