HEMEROCALLIS 
HEMEROCALLIS, Day Lily; Lemon Lily. Beautiful and 
thoroughly reliable old time favorites belonging to the 
lily family. They are perfectly hardy anywhere and 
ag they stand much heat are especially valuable in the 
South and in California. They stand much moisture, 
even to being partially submerged which makes them 
ideal for stream-sides and at margins of ponds. Cult: 
Best in partially shaded situations but do well in full 
sun. To have them at their best a rich moist soil is 
essential, yet they will stand much abuse. PIl., fall to 
spring. Divide every four years. I send plants that 
flower the first year but they are not at their best until 
the second. As each variety flowers at a different date, 
you should plant a wide selection of varieties to prolong 
the bloom.

SUPER HEMEROCALLIS COLLECTION: From my large 
private collection of super-fine varieties and the above 
I will send 10 plants, 1 each of 10 varieties, labelled 
$5.00; 5 varieties, $2.75, This is a super value. 
HELLEBORES 
HELLEBORES, Christmas Rose; Lenten Rose. Hardy per- 
ennials admired for their attractive early flowers and 
for their handsome leaves. There are two quite distinct 
types. H. Orientalis Hybrids, the Lenten rose, have many 
large palmate leaves, rising from a heavy root to make 
a bold evergreen clump, 18 inches high and as wide in 
old plants. Once established they continue for years. 
The flowers are in many beautiful shades and often 3 
inches across. They last fresh for many months, here 
in California from October to April and in colder regions 
each milder spell in winter brings out the buds. I im- 
ported from Millet of France his finest varieties and 
these are now ready to sell My collection of over 25 
named varieties is doubtless the largest in America and 
here conditions for their growth are’ unusually good. 
Cult: They thrive in ordinary garden soil but for best 
results use rich loam and coarse sand, with a top dress- 
ing or rotted manure. A moist well drained, partly shaded 
situation is preferable. In California give rather deep 
shade. I offer the following Millet Hybrids:
