FLOWER GARDEN—Ophir 
How to Vse DAYLILIES 
CUT-FLOWER ARRANGEMENT. 
One cutting lasts a week because new 
flowers open daily. Combine with 
flowers like gaillardia, heliopsis, or 
veronica; with foliage of cranberry, 
red-leaf maple, Oregon Hollygrape. 
NATURALIZING. After the first 
year, Daylilies will hold their own, 
without further attention, along 
creeks and pools; in open woodland 
spots and glades; on sunny banks, 
slopes, and knolls; combined to 
follow naturalized daffodils. 
FOUNDATION PLANTING. Plant 
medium to tall sorts in gaps between 
shrubs and evergreens. Use low 
sorts in foreground areas.

SHRUBBERY BORDER. Take leggy 
deutzias, lilacs, and mock-oranges 
off their ‘“‘stilts’” with foreground 
plantings of Daylilies. Use enough 
assortment and plants, 2 to 2% ft. 
apart, to give color from May through 
October. 
FLOWER GARDEN. Refer to Day- 
lily seasons, heights, and _ colors. 
Combine or supplement accordingly 
with delphiniums, peonies, irises, 
phlox, and chrysanthemums. Con- 
sider an all-Daylily garden. 
HOBBY. Ideal, for Daylilies provide 
real collectors’ item. Yet as a hobby 
they are not time demanding. Will take 
care of themselves.
