HEMEROCALLIS TRIALS 
A display of the newer varieties of Hemerocallis for members 
of the Hemerocallis Society when their national meeting was held 
in Cleveland, caused the initial plot of 179 varieties to be planted 
late in October, 1949. These plants were mulched with ground bark, 
ground corn cobs, chopped straw and hay, as part of a mulching 
experiment. 97% of the plants bloomed with the ground mark 
mulch, giving the best growth and the best weed control. 
This test plot, approved by the Hemerocallis Society, will be 
continued as a permanent part of the test garden system. Many 
new varieties were planted this fall. 
Varieties were rated for their growth and vigor, scape form, 
branching, number of blooms per scape, ability to continue scape 
development throughout the season (reblooming), floret size, floret 
balance to scape height and size of scape, floret clarity of color, 
color harmony, floret substance and uniqueness of floret form.
