attached, $7.50. Delivery Jan. to Apr. Too tender for mail delivery to north when very

H. multiflorus. In general appearance, it resembles Katherinae, but a little larger 
plant from large bulbs but slightly smaller umbel of flowers. Stem heavily spotted 
brown. This species is ideal for pots as it is more tropical and more tender. Blooms 
earlier. Flowers are described by botanists as blood-red but you may disagree. This 
exquisite species has sold by florists for $25.00 when flowering. Try crossing it with 
Katherinae. Blooming size, $5.00. Largest bulbs, $7.50. Delivery about Feb. to April 
but not by mail to north until weather permits. Express is safe, any time. 
Hemerocallis. Daylily. The flowers range in color from dark bronzy red, thru pastel 
tones of pink to orange and yellow. They are borne on a branching scape well above the 
foliage. 
The Greek name, meaning “beautiful for a day,” refers to an individual flower. But 
these are so freely produced, thru a long period, that “beautiful every day” would be 
more apt, as a collection of several sorts show masses of flowers thruout the spring, 
summer and fall and here we often have some winter flowers. The modern sobriquet of 
“The Perennial Supreme” is well deserved. 
Culture. While their beauty is their greatest recommendation, their easy culture and 
hardiness add to their desirability. I have known abandoned plants here, where we have 
arid, hot summers, to persist for years. They grow well in full sun. Slight shade is better. 
If given constant moisture about their roots, preserving this and coolness of the earth with 
a good mulch, the plants are ideally situated and respond with generosity. They are hardy, 
even in severe winters in the north. They are fibrous rooted, not bulbs, and must be 
planted at once when received. Altho they can be moved any time, it is better to ship 
from late fall to early spring. 
They are an almost perfect border or landscape plant, never have to be dug and 
replanted. All that you must do for them is keep the weeds down and water. A heavy 
leafy mulch helps every way.
