Daylily Dacams 
Under The Mimosa Tree 
- by The Dreamer 
There’s a heavenly spot in 
every garden, a sort of secret 
place maybe, which lives in the 
heart of the gardener as a sanc- 
tuary. This is where dreams are 
made. In the cool of the evening, 
I come to my quiet haven of re- 
pose rather disheartened after a 
day of little achievement. I have 
scanned the landscape and am 
overwhelmed. I long for more 
definite boundaries in this garden 
of mine. I want a small garden; 
planned for a riotous succession 
of bloom from early spring to late 
fall. This should be a happy com- 
bination of permanent plantings 
that will live on from year to 
year, and become more beautiful 
with each passing summer. I plan 
my border in this very small gar- 
den so the afternoon shadows of 
a nearby tree, a slender birch or 
a graceful mimosa fall upon it in 
lacy patterns that add enchant- 
ment to the picture. A striking 
combination along this lazy bor- 
der in June consists of blue 
larkspur, platycodon, daisies or 
delphinium, with huge clumps of 
pale yellow daylilies here and 
there. I have placed pale yellows 
in this particular little dream spot 
because the softness of yellow 
tones, mixed with the blues and 
whites, have such a soothing ef- 
fect on my jangled and tired 
nerves as I pause here for a 
moment of rest. 
Colors of daylilies vary so much 
there is a scheme to fit any mood. 
Sometimes I need a flamboyant 
setting and then it is I dream of 
the audacious flash of some of the 
many reds, blooming in all their 
pompous beauty beside a great 
mound of large, white daisies. 
All this accentuated by a back- 
ground of trailing foliage which 
hangs over a garden wall, or 
a whitewashed fence. A tiny pool 
also—but I could dream on, and

A lily of a day 
Is fairer far in May, 
Although it fall and die that 
night— 
It was the plant and flower 
of light. 
In small proportions we just 
beauties see; 
And in short measures life may 
perfect be. —Ben Johnson

IS YOUR GARDEN UP TO DATE? 
It is interesting to note the changes in the style of architecture, 
house furnishings, and in landscape and gardening designs. Quite 
often the new fashions show vast improvement over the old. This is 
true of the entire landscape picture, and certainly we can place em- 
phasis on the improvement the new “fashion” has wrought in the 
daylily world. Indeed, you would never discard your beloved older 
favorites, nor would you hesitate to luxuriate a bit in the newer and 
more exciting creations recently emerged from the magic touch of 
our great and tireless hybridizers. There is joy and satisfaction in 
knowing that we have at least a few of the very best.

Glarify Yous Garden With eae 
Some visitors to our garden 
have often remarked that day- 
lilies are lovely, but that they 
have no perfume. True it is that 
some varieties have little or no 
aroma, but there ave many fine 
daylilies that simply reek with 
sweetness, carrying a heavy fra- 
grance equal to many flowers 
which are loved chiefly for that 
virtue. 
Just stroll along your garden 
paths at twilight, or early morn- 
ing, especially if there is ia bit 
of dampness in the air, and you 
will find a perfume ‘that will 
linger long in your memory. Cer- 
tain fragrant varieties give forth 
their pleasant odor all day long, 
but we all know the misty vapor 
of perfume is heavier when the 
atmosphere seems moist. Most 
night lilies are fragrant but there 
are also many day bloomers and 
extenders which are sweet 
scented, too. Here is a fine choice: 
Canari (Nesmith) Satin finished 
flowers of palest canary yellow. 
Large and open. Sweet scented.

McDade (Sass) Late 
blooming yellow. Good perform- 
er, Very charming when clump- 
ed. Sweet .scented. 1.00

Florham (Harrington) Large ruf- 
fled flowers of deep yellow 
with a twist at tip of petals. 
Sweet scented. » 00 
Halo (Wheeler) Triangular shap- 
ed medium yellow with cin- 
namon colored halo. Opens 
late afternoon and lasts all next 
day. A lovely thing. Sweet 
scented. 2.00

golden orange of extra fine 
form. Heavy substance. Wide 
branching. Long blooming sea- 
son. Sweet scented. 3.50

Fenwood s Culture 
Column 
Daylilies thrive with very little 
care or attention. The soil of most 
any ordinary garden is suitable, 
and many lend themselves to 
naturalizing along the slopes of 
barren hillsides, or along shady 
banks of streams or lakes. There 
are no serious diseases or insect 
pests. They are hardy to all sec- 
tions of our country and even in 
the far north they are not ser- 
iously injured in winter if a light 
mulch of leaves or straw is used. 
With reasonable care daylilies 
may be transplanted at any time 
in most regions, when the ground 
is not frozen, and in more norther- 
ly climates when danger of a 
general freeze is over. A most 
desirable time for planting, divid- 
ing or transplanting is in early 
spring. With a little extra care 
there should be ample bloom the 
first season. 
Watch this column from time 
to time for additional phases of 
daylily culture.
