PERENNIALS—Continued 
HEMEROCALLIS 
61 
Two species of Hemerocallis have been widely known to nurserymen for gene- 
rations: Flava, the Lemon Lily; and Fulva Europa. In recent years progress has 
been made in hybridizing, so that today we can offer a collection of Hemerocallis 
which will bloom from Spring to Fall with a variation of colors. Their hardiness 
and attractive foliage makes it possible to use them effectively in locations un- 
suited to other perennials. 
We are growing the following varieties which we can recommend as superior for 
general planting.
