PARTY GOWN 
Te an intermezzo in the Spring-Summer symphony, the 
serene and lovely daylilies come into bloom, after the pomp and 
splendor of the iris season. A far ery from the old-fashioned 
daylilies of our grandmother’s garden, these delightful flowers 
are now available in almost every shade of yellow, from the pal- 
est cream to deep chrome-yellow; from lightest apricot to deep- 
est orange. The “Pinks” which have been developed from Fulva 
rosea, a wild form from China, which is commercially known as 
Rosalind, are rapidly becoming very popular. The deep reds, 
reddish-browns and mahogany colored blossoms as well as the 
purvle and wine shades are all rich and have great garden value. 
Extensive work on the part of the hybridizers has given us 
daylilies of exceptional form and texture, as well as the many 
new colors. Some of the new varieties have wide petals, heavily 
ecreped and ruffled, which flare back, giving a pleasing wide- 
open appearance, Sometimes the petals and sepals are twisted 
and curled, while others are very symmetrical in appearance. 
The size of the flowers vary from tiny blossoms which are borne 
in a cluster or shower, to large individual flowers which meas- 
ure seven to nine inches across. The dwarfs average about a 
foot in height, while some of the giants shoot up to almost six 
feet. 
Daylilies are one of the most satisfactory perennials and grow 
well in almost any location. They are lovely in the border, and 
are particularly well adapted to naturalizing, as they do well in 
half-shade, Ordinary garden soil, enriched with humus, and 
kept well watered prior to and during the blooming season will 
produce an abundance of bloom, Varieties can he selected to 
stretch the season from spring to early autumn. 
Hemerocallis can be left undisturbed for many years but much 
better blossoms are obtained by dividing and transplanting every 
third year. 
TIME OF SHIPMENT: We can ship daylilies at any time of 
the year when your conditions will allow you to plant them.
