HEMEROCALLIS or DAYLILIES 
They thrive in any soil, asking only a spot in the sun (but they will do well in light shade, too). They are absolutely 
hardy, they are not pestered by insects, disease among them is unknown. They are sure to bloom—Always a success. 
Flowers are large size, much resembling true lilies; borne on slender, reed-like stems rising from clumps of grace- 
fully arching grassy foliage. Each stem carries numerous buds; each variety blooms over a period of three to five weeks. 
Time was when Grandmother’s Lemon Lily, keeping company with bearded iris, was all she had but since the 
hybridists have taken them in hand they can now be had in bloom, one kind or another, from May to September. The hybrid 
daylilies listed below are midsummer staples and no perennial border can pretend to be complete without them. 
They will grow, and even bloom, if outrageously neglected, but you will get the best flowers in a soil rich in humus 
with timely irrigation. The fleshy roots should be planted about 18 inches apart and two inches deep, spreading them out 
and firming the soil well around them. For finest bloom leave clumps undisturbed for three to six years—they need not be 
disturbed until they begin to fail in flowering—when they can be lifted, divided and reset.
