DAYLILIES 
Interest in daylilies, or Hemerocallis has grown at an amazing pace in 
the past ten to fifteen years. The botanical name of this plant means “beauty 
for a day’’, and while the individual flowers are short-lived one may have a 
long succession of bloom from early spring to late summer by a judicious 
selection of varieties. The plants will grow under almost every soil and clima- 
tic condition and insect pests and diseases are of negligible importance. For 
beauty of garden and ease of culture—grow daylilies. Join the parade.
