DAYLILIES 
There are few plants whose cutture is as simple as that 
of daylilies. They will grow in pFactically any garden soil, 
in dry locations, or.,wet ones, in sunshine or partial shade. 
They, of course, respond fa avorably to rich soil, moisture and 
sunshine. The colors'‘of Some fade in strong sunlight, but 
this fading may either improve or impair their charm de- 
pending upon the beauty of their color when the flowers 
first open. 
Hemerocallis can be left undisturbed for many years but 
more vigorous plants and finer flowers result if the clumps 
are divided every three or four years.

The hybridists have secured a greater play of colors than 
is found in the wild forms. They have also given us a wide 
range in size and shape. Probably the most popular types 
have rather large flowers which have broad petals that 
flare back, giving the flower a pleasing wide-open appear- 
ance. On the other hand, there are people who like narrow 
petals and tubular shaped flowers. 
The sizes of the flowers range from small ones with a 
spread of 2% inches to large ones spreading seven to nine 
inches. 
The height in dwarfs is about one foot, but in the tall 
forms may go to six feet, or even more, 
In California the peak of the blooming season is in June 
and July following the irises. However, there are named 
clones, commonly spoken of as varieties, which start bloom- 
ing in May, and others which do not start until fall. Many 
kinds bloom several times throughout the season.
