DAYLILIES (HEMEROCALLIS) 
For Summer Bloom June to September 
The modern daylily can hardly be compared with its forbears of 20 to 25 years ago. When numerous American hybridizers 
turned their attention to this splendid perennial during the 1930's amazing results soon became evident. New colors includ- 
ing pinks, red, purples and intermediate shades, unknown to the average gardener, were developed until now only a white 
and blue daylily have yet to become a reality. Also new gorgeous yellow shades represent so much improvement over the 
older yellow varieties. And in addition to the existing new colors better flowers that are elegantly formed and longer lasting, 
increased and superior stem branching, and best of all, ever-blooming tendencies are now to be found in many varieties, 
Daylilies will grow anywhere and do equally well in the extremely southern and most northerly parts of the country. They 
are permanent perennials which we unreservedly recommend to any one. They withstand drouth, excessive moisture, sun 
or shade, any kind of soil and will bloom under any and all of these conditions. We know of no other perennial for which 
we can make so many claims. 
CULTURE; Hemerocallis will grow and bloom in almost any 
soil and in all parts of the country. They will bloom in full shade 
or sun but are at their best with afternoon shade as the very hot 
sun will fade the flowers somewhat. They are truly a lazy man’s 
flower because once planted they will take care of themselves.
