This 1949 HEMBROCALLIS list Cancels former lists. 
Hemerocallis (hybrid day lilies) should be of interest to all flower lovers. 
If you do not have these so-easy~to-care-for-plants in your garden you are missing 
a treat, They now come in such a delightful color range from deepest mroon with 
a black eyezone, thru tho many shades of red, pink, yellows, bicolors and many pas- 
tel shades. The various varieties give blooms from early spring, all thru the 
summer and until frost. Being of various heights they fit into any garden scheme. 
For night illuminated gardens we have them that open their blooms before sunset, the 
blooms remain open and fresh the following day, others open in early morn and remain 
fresh until near midnight. We rapidly discard all that does not remin fresh all 
day. There are so many that resists the hot sun why give garden space to those being 
presentable but half the day. 
Hemerecallis are not choosy of soil types or plant foods, will withstand a long 
dry spell hence, can be planted where the hose does not reach. They increase into 
clumps which can be divided each few years making them a good investment. No losses 
thru the lack of hardiness, they truly are the most ideal plant for large estates as 
well as smll gardens. They thrive in sun or partial shade. I am mking an effort 
to have these plants in more gardens by offering $3.00, $5,00 and $10,00 collections 
of full color range. These plants come to you in damp moss, lnbeled true to name. 
Should your soil not be workable at this time a 25% deposit will hold the order to 
your convenience. 
The Hemerocailis Society, now in it's third year has close to a thousand menm- 
bers, this proves hemerocallis' value as a garden plant. If you now have hemero-~ 
Callis in the garden and have not joined the Society, I urge you to become a member, 
the yearly dues gives you the Year Book worth mny times the $3.00 membership fee.

In our gardens we use the composting method. This produces large rugged plants 
with a large root system which gets them off to o quick start after transplanting. 
We can guarentee money back if you have ever purchased hemerocallis with finer root- 
systems, we pay return postage.

Questions often asked by beginners «- 
WHEN CAN THEY SAFELY BE PLANTED? Any time after the frost leaves the soil and until 
shortly before the soil freezes in the fall, Mulch if planted late. 
SPACING PIANTS « About 2 feet apart will give ample room to form clumps, In rich 
soil it is advisable to divide the clumps each 3rd year as the centre roots are de- 
prived of rare soil elements whioh have become exhausted, results smller and fewer 
blooms. 
DEPTH OF PLANTING + Where roots and leaves join no deeper than 1" in the soil. 
SOIL REQUIREMENTS - As they have apparently no preference, they do well in light or 
heavy soil, I work in mch hum in light or heavy soil to retain misture, If 
8011 is extremely acid add lime, if strongly allmline woods soil or oak leaves will 
add acid. 
SHADE OR SUN » Some of the deeper colors are more suitable to part shade, some do 
better in an all dey sun, "Purple Waters" as an example is a far richer shade of 
wine purple in full sun and looks fresh at the end of the day. 
HOW SOON WILL THEY BLOOM = As we seni out roots with heavy root system, they do not 
require to reestablish a new root system, hence mch quicker to bloom. You can exe 
pect blooms on most varieties the first year, the second year they are at their best.
