Hemerocallis 


HEMEROCALLIS do equally well in 
sun or shady location. Will grow in 
poor or rich soil or acid, sandy or clay 
soil but should have fertilizer, water 
and cultivation to be at their best. They 
have no diseases nor insect pests and 
grow in wet soil as well as dry. 
The season of bloom is from the mid- 
dle of May till September, foliage al- 
ways green and attractive, varying in 
shades of green, in height, in width 
and carriage according to variety. 
Can be transplanted any time the 
ground is not frozen without loss but 
best time to plant is spring and after 
clones have bloomed. 
In the past there has been confusion 
regarding Hemerocallis Cressida. Two 
varieties were sold under that name. 
The earlier apricot yellow with long 
blooming season was also sold as Dov- 
er, the other, Gypsy, blooms later and 
is a smoky orange with slight reddish 
eye zone. | have decided to drop the 
name Cressida and list the earlier as 
Dover and continue to sell Gypsy as 
usual. Both varieties were originated 
by Betscher.
