Ju Bloom in the Caal of the Euening 
The Daylily, as the name implies, is a good flower where the individ- 
val bloom lasts a day. Some varieties have a marked tendency to 
remain fully expanded and in full flower later in the day, lasting into 
the night. These kinds are appreciated by the gardener who must 
enjoy the garden in the evening, or the lady who wishes a floral 
arrangement where the flowers will remain open during the evening. 
We list below 32 kinds that retain their bloom longer than other 
varieties. This is only a partial list and we would appreciate informa- 
tion as to other varieties that have stayed open into the evening for 
you.

De Not Judge a Gloom-- 
or the number of blooms, and other general plant habits 
on a one-year plant. Your Daylily plant is a permanent 
plant. Leave it in the same location for years and when 
you plant do not put your plants so close together that 
they have to be thinned in a year or so. Plant at least 
2 to 3 feet apart for eventual future effect. The first or 
second year fill in between the Daylilies with annuals and 
other perennials until your Daylilies get established. 
Remember, the Daylily is a summer flowering plant. It 
loves the sun and warm weather. Perfection of bloom is 
always dependent on warm weather, at least 75 degrees, 
and, of course, enough moisture for the plant to bring 
up food to foliage and blooms.
