BEAUTIFUL DAY LILIES 
Hemerocallis, or Day Lilies, as they are commonly called, are 
NEW LEONIAN HYBRID DAY LILIES 
Shown Above 
A sensational new strain of Hemerocallis, entirely distinct from 
deservedly popular subjects for the perennial garden. Their flowers 
are of graceful form and richest colorings, including all shades of 
yellow, orange, red, deep brown and maroon, many delightfully frag- 
rant. 
As easily grown as Hardy Iris, in any good garden soil, sun or light 
shade, they are most effective planted in groups in the border, or around 
pools, and in front of shrubbery. The following list includes complete 
those grown heretofore. Colors range from deep burnt orange 
through vivid orange red and maroon, to delicate shades of old 
rose. Flowers are of heavy substance, with delicate fragrance. In 
height they vary from three to five feet.
