PLANT DAYL 

HEMEROCALLIS 
Fall 1950 Spring 1951 
Daylilies are justly the most popular summer 
garden perennial. By choosing early and late bloom- 
ers the season can be extended from spring until 
late fall. 
They are of the easiest culture, requiring no 
certain soil type, but will reward one richly for 
plenty of nourishment and moisture. They will 
grow in shade but need sun for at least part of the 
day for good performance and do even better in full 
sun. Since they do not require frequent division 
they should be spaced from two to three feet to al- 
low for increase in size of clumps. Spread the roots 
and cover with about an inch of soil. Well rotted 
manure or compost with a handful of bone meal 
mixed in the hole before planting will insure good 
growth. 
Daylilies require time to become established and 
perform typically so do not be hasty in your judg- 
ment the first year. When undisturbed for three 
years they can then be critically appraised.
