THE IMPROVED DAYLILY — EXCELLENT FOR CUTTING 
NO OTHER GROUP of hardy perennials has received the attention in recent years by hybridists, both here and 
abroad, as has the so-called “Daylily,” or “Lemon Lily.” Its development by these hybridists has been little less 
than phenomenal and the varieties listed are so great an improvement over the familiar “Daylilies” that one can 
scarcely recognize them as such. Hybrid Hemerocallis are very valuable for planting in borders, in the cut flower 
garden and for utilizing in moist and shady positions. They are especially valuable where tones of yellow and 
orange are desired during the summer and early autumn. 
We have included in this list the finest introductions from American and English hybridists. They are of rare 
beauty, rich coloring and charming grace of form. They are unsurpassed as to hardiness and freedom from disease 
and insect pests. They will succeed in the coldest part of Maine as well as in sub-tropical Florida. Truly the per- 
ennial supreme. 4 
CULTURE: Of easy and simple culture, they demand a reasonably moist soil, fairly rich, and prefer, but do 
not require, slight shade.
