10% less for delivery at the garden or on orders of $10 or

Each week in the blooming season, the best of each 
xind and color is marked with a * and a few of these 
with * * as the cream of all. See two star list. Those 
that do not get a * for at least one weck are discarded. 
The different kinds of hemerocallis are listed alpha- 
betically and numbered. After each name the originator 
or author’s name is given in ( ); then the usual height in 
feet; next the season of bloom, EE, very early, (these 
need protection from jate frosts), , late spring, EM, 
early summer, M, midsummer, L, late summer, VL, very 
late; many early kinds bloom again in September or 
October. The colors are grouped under the most common 
related color names. Daylily colors vary with light, 
temperature, moisture and time of day. Other character- 
istics may be found wnder the lists of number given later. 
Let me know wnat to do if J am out of some you order 
as the supply of some kinds is quite limited. I may be 
able to send a similar better one. There are several 
hundred newer, vetter daylilies in the garden in too small 
number to list. What do you want? I might spare a few. 
Daylilies succeed under a great variety of conditions. 
They bloom for two to six weeks, from spring to late fall, 
nearly all colors and color combinations except blue and 
white. They are hard to kill. Favored planting times are 
April and August, or just after blooming. They are 
usually at their best the third year after planting. 
Vis't our Garden about May 20 to see most early 
hemerocallis in bloom; June 10 to 20, to see the Japanese 
Tri¢ Gaiden. July 19 is the peak of bloom for the 
hundreds of kinds of summer blooming daylilies, and soon 
after, Lilium superbum, wild among the iris. In. mid- 
August our new late hemerocallis hybrids are in flower. 
But a visit each month from March to November is 
needed to see all our 2,790 kinds of plants in bloom.
