HEMEROCALLIS 
...DAYLILIES 
DEPENDABLE FLOWERS FOR PERMANENT GARDENS 
Daylilies are most satisfactory garden flowers. Their lovely lily- 
like flowers are borne on graceful stems well above their masses 
of grassy leaves. They are very easy to grow in most any good 
garden soil, in either full sun or light shade. The flowers are in 
all tones of yellow, from light to deep, rich orange, bright reds, 
deep browns and combinations of these. Many are also delightfully 
fragrant. 
They are essential plants for the perennial border, where the 
flowers and foliage make a substantial contribution. By careful 
selection of early and late blooming varieties, bloom may be had 
from spring to fall. Place the taller kinds toward the back, lower 
growing toward the front. Daylilies are especially effective planted 
in clumps or grouped abcut garden pools. Their ability to flower in 
light shade makes their use practical when other garden flowers are 
not satisfactory.
