Daylilies are , becoming more popular each year, Have you seen the newer 
warieties?: All shades of yellow, from deep cream to golden orange; pinks and reds 
in many colorings. The great variation in the color pattern helps to make each 
variety distinct. There are bicolors and flowers with contrasting bandings on the 
petals, and the blending of colors to form new shades, They are easy to grow, and 
bloom in dry, hot weather, The Mid-West have adopted it as their flower, and formed 
a society that already has over 700 enthusiastic members, although it is only e year 
old. . 
- The flowers are in bloom from the middle of May until the 10th of August in our 
locality. Two varieties listed bloom later. The plants need sun for half a day to 
bloom, ,and- thrive best in a sunny location. While they will bloom in heat and 
drought, you will get larger flowers if they can be wetered occasionally. Allow 
2 feet between plants for normal growth. Several kinds often bloom again in fall, 
and are marked "xX" before the price, Most of the yellow varieties are delightfully 
fragrant. -. | 
COLOR LISTING: Seed chbet are placed in color groups. Few people have color charts, 
and do not know the depth of color from the deseriptions. As the Betscher hybrids 
are widely grown, and have a wide color range in the yellow and orange shades, they 
were used as a basis for depth of color, and begin with "1", Flowers lighter in 
color are marked “0”. Other varieties having the same color number may be entirely 
different in form, size of flower, and height. The numbers are only used to help 
“you select different variations of color, It is not yet possible to use this pro- 
cedure for pink and red shades, as there are too.few which are widely grown, from 
which to select.
