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.

One each of Earliana, Middendorfie, Semperflorens, 
Mrs. W. H. Wyman. Serenade, Hyperion, Citrina, En- 
chantress, August Pioneer, Mrs. A. H. Austin, Harvest 
Moon and Ophir. Twelve Plants—value about $10.00.

These strong growing poppies, thanks to the hybridizer’s 
science, diligence and luck, now come in an unusual and

crown 3 inches below surface; after frost mulch the first 
winter to prevent heaving; and after that do nothing.
