Hemerocallis (Daylilies) 
Gardeners have recently become aware of this fine perennial which furnishes bloom from June until 
September and its popularity has increased by leaps and bounds. Amazing progress has been made by 
breeders in the last few years and we are growing one of the most inclusive collections in our gardens. We 
list only a few this year. As soon as others have been propagated to a sufficient extent we will include them. 
In describing these flowers the three larger, innermost divisions are the petals and the three smaller divi- 
sions of the flower are the sepals. One of the easiest flowers to grow, hemerocallis are indispensible for 
the summer garden thriving with a minimum of attention yet giving a profusion of floral beauty. 
TIME OF SHIPMENT: September to November. Please write your Daylily order on a separate 
sheet from your iris order.
