—FOREWORD— 
This year again we are happy to send out this little 
catalog to our many friends and prospective customers. 
During this past season we have indeed been fortunate. 
Weather conditions were ideal. Today our fields are literally 
bursting with the best plants ever. Because of this we have 
been able to reduce prices on many varieties, some as much 
as one dollar. 
Daylilies will thrive in all types of soil from sand to 
clay, producing a wealth of bloom, with minimum attention. 
They even stand long periods of neglect and reward the 
gardener when well cared for. 
As daylilies are regional performers it is wise to consult 
growers or your local garden club as to which varieties do 
best in your particular section. 
Remember most daylilies are hardy, disease and insect 
resistant and will give more satisfaction for your investment 
than any other perennial we know. 
Thanking you for your patronage and kindness in recom- 
mending us to others, we remain: 
Sincerely, 
Rainbow Daylily Gardens. 
PLANTING & CARE 
Plant either in full sun or where they will receive about 
six hours of sun daily. Reds & some of the other deep 
colors are best planted where they receive some protection 
from the hot sun, such as on the East or North Side of 
shrubbery borders. High drifting shade is fine but avoid 
planting in those densely shaded areas. 
Space plants about two ft. apart. Spread out roots and 
set to a depth so that ground level will be one inch above 
point where roots and foliage meet. 
Mix a handful of bone meal and one or two of sheep 
manure into the soil for each plant when setting. Compost 
is excellent incorporated into the soil. Do not over fertilize. 
Water well until established. If planted in hot weather 
a wise precaution is to shade plant until growth starts. 
HARDINESS 
Nearly all varieties are hardy from Canada to Cuba. 
Some have asked if daylilies grown in Florida are hardy 
in the North? “Yes, they are,’” as hardiness is inherent 
in the variety and does not depend upon where it is grown. 
TOP QUALITY PLANTS 
Our plants are strong and vigorous. They are properly 
grown and not “blown up” with irrigation and strong 
fertilizer. 
We shall as in the past send out quality plants that 
are full of vigor. Plants that will live & grow and give 
satisfaction. 
RECURRENT BLOOMERS 
Most all varieties we list bloom several times yearly 
here in the South and many will repeat in the North. 
ONE OR A THOUSAND 
Should you wish only one plant to add to your collection, 
or should you require a thousand or more for naturalizing 
we will be pleased to fill your order.
