HEMEROCALLIS (Daylilies) 
The daylily, or Hemerocallis, is one plant that comes close to 
being all things to all gardeners. First of all, you can grow them 
with ease wherever you live. 
This perennial is equally adapted to the rigorous winter of North 
Dakota, to the dry atmosphere of New Mexico, the humidity of 
Florida, and the changeable climate around New York. 
Daylilies can be grown without fuss or bother, also fitting into 
various conditions of soil and moisture, to full sun or partial shade. 
These pest-free plants will be a permanent addition to your gar- 
den. They can be divided and transplanted every three or four years. 
You can combine Daylilies with almost any other perennial and 
with many flowering shrubs and trees. 
They are in full bloom in the middle of the hot summer when 
flowers are not too plentiful, and many varieties continue through 
reblooming periods, clear up until heavy frosts. 
SHIPMENTS will be made from September Ist to late December. 
Early spring shipments will also be made if you wish it (from late 
February to March 10th).
