CULTURE OF DAYLILIES 
TIME TO PLANT. Daylilies may be 
planted during the spring, summer and 
fall. Local conditions will govern the 
best time for planting, which should bs 
done at a time when the plants will be 
able to establish themselves and begin 
prompt growth. Fall planting should 
be early enough to permit the plants to 
become well established befare cold 
weather. Daylily roots are packed damp 
and sould not be allowed to dry out. 
PLANTING. In planting 
roots naturally and cover about two 
inches with pulverized soil. The exact 
depth will depend on the size and type 
of the plant, but it is usually easy to 
tell from the color of the leaves the 
depth at which the plant has been grow- 
ing. Too deep planting is injurious. 
Firm the soil so that roots and crown 
are in good contact with the soil. Water 
after planting if the ground is dry.
