1 BEAUTY BY DAY 3 
In free translation HEMEROCALLIS might mean Beauty by 
Day, but Day Lily is the more usual English name. The Day 
Lilies are fully winter-hardy, always easy to grow and keep. 
They thrive in full sun, but will still tolerate quite a bit of 
shade. They grow readily from seed, flowering second year. 
We offer seeds saved from finest hybrid strains, mostly from 
named sorts such as those offered below, and seedlings will 
range in their coloring over the whole field of hue and tone 
shown in the kinds de- 
scribed separately here.
