HEMEROCALLIS 
DAYLILIES 
Not old-fashioned anymore—these lovely flowers are to be 
found hobnobbing with “High Society’. For summer bloom, even 
in the hottest locations, daylilies are to be found proving them- 
selves very versatile. Many stay open far into the night, while 
others go to sleep with the sun—a few open in the late afternoon, 
and stay awake until the same time the next day. These delight- 
ful flowers are now available in almost every shade of yellow, 
from the palest cream to deep chrome-yellow; from lightest apri- 
cot to deepest orange. The “Pinks” are coming—every year brings 
us variations and improvements springing from Fulva rosea, 
commercially known as Rosalind. The deep reds, reddish-browns 
and mahogany colored blossoms as well as the purple and wine 
shades are all rich and have great garden value. 
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 manure, 
and kept well watered prior to and during the blooming season 
will produce an abundance of bloom. Varieties can be 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.
