Everblooming Hemerocallis Gardens 
One of the most satisfactory borders on The Farm is a 
solid Day Lily planting. It blooms from May to September. 
It is now six years old and so thick little weeding is ever 
required. These rugged plants, half shaded by two 
maples, compete successfully with the roots of those 
vigorous trees, bloom more profusely every year.

Second year. Plant in bold groups.

PHLOX DECUSSATA 
(Hardy Garden Phlox) 
To grow Phlox well be sure soil is well-drained, deep 
and heavily enriched. Keep in full sun. Water freely 
under the foliage. It likes its feet wet and its clothing dry. 
In wet weather dust with sulphur to prevent mildew. 
Don’t plant too close to stone walls—they are damp. Set 
far enough apart to get good air circulation. Divide the 
roots every three or four years to keep plants vigorous 
and flowers large. Destroy all seedlings—they turn to 
ugly magenta colors and are so vigorous they crowd out 
named varieties.
