flower. But these are so freely produced, thru a long period, that “beautiful 
every day’’ would be more apt, as a collection of several sorts show masses of 
flowers thruout the spring, summer and fall and here we often have some 
winter flowers. The modern sobriquet of “The Perennial Supreme” is well de- 
served. 
Culture. While their beauty is their greatest recommendation, their easy 
culture and hardiness add to their desirability. I have known abandoned plants 
here, where we have arid, hot summers, to persist for years. They grow well in 
full sun. Slight shade is better. If given constant moisture about their roots, pre- 
serving this and coolness of the earth with a good mulch, the plants are ideally 
situated and respond with generosity. They are hardy even in severe winters in 
the north. They are fibrous rooted, not bulbs, and must be planted at once when 
received. Altho they can be moved any time, it is better to ship from late fall 
to early spring. 
They are an almost perfect border or landscape plant, never have to be dug 
and replanted. All that you must do for them is keep the weeds down and water. 
A heavy leafy mulch helps every way. 
In Daylilies, the sepals are colored and petal-like and are an essential part 
of the floral display.
