Hemerocallis- Lemon Liltes 
If the value of a plant is to be judged by the aggregate qualities 
of absolute hardiness, floriferousness and complaisance under almost 
any circumstances, then the Day Lily must be placed among the elect. 
From 18 inches to 4 feet in height they stand on stalwart stems. 
Their flowers are new in a multitude of shades from softest yellow 
through to almost fiery red, all with a clean and pleasant fragrance. 
By a careful selection of varieties, flowers may be had in abundance 
from June until September. Few plants surpass the vigor and beauty 
of well flowered clumps of the Day Lily. You will find offered here 
some very interesting new varieties in a fine range of colors. 
CULTURE: Any kind of soil will grow these plants successfully. 
They prefer partial shade, but do excellently in full sun. May be 
grown singly or in masses. Plant one to two feet apart in autumn or 
spring. Lift, divide and replant every third year to ensure the plants 
flowering freely. Very graceful and stately plants for the waterside,
