Hemerocallis—Daylilies 
The rapid development and improvement in Hemerocallis is giving gar- 
deners splendid new varieties to lighten and charm their gardens. Daylilies 
are perhaps the easiest of all plants to grow, doing well in sun or shade, 
drought or dampness, but a happy medium of these conditions find them at 
their best. By noting flowering time one can select a number of varieties that 
will supply bloom from May to September.
