EXCITING NEW DAYLILIES 
Relax in the hot summer days and enjoy the colorful new Daylilies. 
The Daylilies will take care of themselves and new flowers will open each 
day. Daylilies have become America’s fastest growing hobby flower. 
Because of the astounding new colors to be had with the least amount of 
effort, the flower hobbyists are pushing their former favorite plants to 
the rear of their garden in favor of the exciting new, beautifully formed 
Daylilies. Daylilies are tough — they can be grown in any good garden 
soil and tolerate all sorts of weather conditions. In fact, they can be 
grown in any State of the United States. 
CULTURE 
Daylilies should be planted with crown of plant one inch beneath 
soil surface, in a sunny location and a well drained soil. The soil should 
be supplied with plenty of organic matter, such as Oak leaf-mold, Peat or 
well-rotted cow manure. A good soil should be 5% organic. | maintain 
my soil at a Ph. 5.8 and use Limestone or Agriculture Gypsum 3 to 5 pounds 
to 100 square feet in the Fall and Spring, because | have a well drained soil 
with rapid leaching. When applying Limestone, it must be kept in mind 
that you are raising the essential calcium and not the Ph. of the soil. The 
higher the Ph. the quicker the organic matter is destroyed by soil bacteria. 
When planting, add a handful of Bonemeal or Superphosphate. This 
will not burn the root tissues and will supply the essential Phosphorous 
and calcium which is needed for the development of the seed and maturity 
of the root system. Daylilies do not require much nitrogen, so that each 
spring | apply 2 pounds of 2-10-10 fertilizer to 100 square feet. Too much 
nitrogen added to the soil will produce too high a flowering scape, and 
will lessen the good color and substance of the Daylily flower. The high 
Potassium content will give good plant vigor. A thorough soaking with a 
lawn sprinkler once each week when the flower buds appear will well 
repay you with large rich flowers. In short, to get the most out of your 
Daylilies, plant them in an organic soil and give them plenty of water. 
Remember, the soil must be well drained.
