Welcome To Hemknoll 
We are pleased to send you our Hemerocallis Catalog and think that you will 
find it interesting. Although we list about 200 varieties we do grow over 300 as well 
as many thousand seedlings of our own. Those that we do list are among the very 
best. We wish to sincerely thank the many customers that we have served in past 
years and hope to be able to serve each of you in the coming year. 
CULTURE—Daylilies- are among the very hardiest and easily grown -of~ all 
perennials. All that we list are extremely hardy aS we only cover our newly set plants 
the first year to prevent heaving. This isa good practice anywhere that freezing 
exists. Any sort of soil will grow daylilies, however, they do repay one’s efforts in 
better bloom and growth if the soil is prepared with old compost or manures. Avoid 
low wet areas. Small amounts of fertilizer on established plantings twice a year is 
beneficial. Plant new plants with soil 2” above the well spread roots and firm well, 
then soak. They do best in full sun but can be planted wherever four hours of sun- 
light can be had. Watering at blooming time will increase size and improve color 
When once established they need no moving for years. 
SHIPPING—March 15 thru April 30 and August 20 thru November 15. I like to 
receive nice plants and I endeavor to send nice true-to-name plants. All are freshly 
dug, carefully packed with a permanent aluminum embossed label for every variety
