HEMEROCALLIS | 
(DAYLILIES) 
An old-time favorite tuberous-rooted perennial. Until recent 
years only available in the yellow, gold, and orange shades, has been 
dressed up with a profusion of color and has taken its rightful place 
in the perennial garden. The new hybrids offer an array of reds, 
purples, pinks, and combinations of colors to delight the most ardent 
flower fancier. 
Some varieties go dormant in the winter, others are evergreen, 
and then some die back and immediately send up new growth, these 
are called semi-deciduous plants. 
They bloom from early spring until late fall. Many varieties are 
twice bloomers. 
Daylilies are most effective when planted in back of the Bearded 
tris because the height of their blooming season is after the tall 
Bearded Iris time. 
CULTURE. Adaptable to any climate or soil. Daylilies are sun- 
loving plants, and should be planted from 3 to 4 feet apart to allow 
plenty of space for increasing, and do not need to be transplanted 
for several years. 
SHIPPING TIME. Fall (September) .
