HEMEROCALLIS (Daylilies) 
The Hemerocallis, or daylily, is the one perennial plant that comes 
close to being all things to all gardeners, adapting itself equally well 
in the rigorous winters of North Dakota, the dry atmosphere of 
New Mexico, the humidity of Florida, or the changeable climate 
around New York. 
Daylilies can be grown without fuss or bother, fitting into various 
conditions of soil, moisture, and full sun or partial shade. 
These pest-free plants will be a permanent addition to your gar- 
den. They need not be divided and transplanted for three or four 
years. 
You can combine Daylilies with almost any other perennial and 
with many flowering shrubs. 
They are in full bloom in the middle of the hot summer when 
flowers are not too plentiful, and many varieties continue through 
with reblooming periods, clear up until heavy frosts. 
SHIPMENTS will be made from September lst to December. 
Early spring shipments will also be made if you wish (from late 
February to March 10th). 
On a $15.00 purchase we are going to allow you to choose your 
own Surprise Free gift. You may select one or two varieties not 
marked (*) to the amount of $4.50 catalogue listing. (Collections 
not included. )
