DAYLILIES (Hemerocallis) 
The modern daylily can hardly be compared with its forbears of 20 to 25 
years ago. When numerous American hybridizers turned their attention to this 
splendid perennial during the 1930’s amazing results soon became evident. 
New colors including pinks, red, purples and intermediate shades, unknown 
to the average gardener, were developed until now only a white and blue day- 
lily have yet to become a reality. Also new gorgeous yellow shades represent 
so much improvement over the older yellow varieties. And in addition to the 
existing new colors better flowers that are elegantly formed and longer last- 
ing, increased and superior stem branching, and best of all, everblooming 
tendencies are now to be found in many varieties. Daylilies will grow any- 
where and do equally well in the extremely southern and most northerly parts 
of the country. They are permanent perennials which we unreservedly rec- 
ommend to any one. They withstand drouth, excessive moisture, sun or shade, 
any kind of soil and will bloom under any or all of these conditions. \WWe know 
of no other perennial for which we can make so many claims. 
CULTURE: Hemerocallis will grow and bloom in almost any 
soil and in all parts of the country. They will bloom in full shade 
or sun but are at their best with afternoon shade as the very hot 
sun will fade the flowers somewhat. They are truly a lazy man’s 
flower because once planted they will take care of themselves. 
SHIPMENT: Spring or Fall. 
NO DAYLILIES SHIPPED THIS SPRING 
As our entire stock of Daylilies was replanted last fall, no plants 
DUCHESS OF WINDSOR of saleable quality will be ready before mid-summer. However, 
after that time we expect to be able to supply top quality plants 
whenever requested.

I received in very fine condition my collection of IRIS and 
DAYLILIES. When I opened them I was amazed at the size of 
the plants and the generous amount of roots in each Daylily package.
