H. multiflorus. In general appearance, it resembles Katherinae. Stem heavily spotted 
brown. This species is ideal for pots as it is more tropical and more tender. Blooms 
earlier. Flowers are described by botanists as blood-red but you may disagree. This 
exquisite species has been sold by florists for $25.00 when flowering. Try crossing it 
with Katherinae. Blooming size, $5.00. Largest bulbs, $7.50. Our sizes are a little smaller 
than last year, but they are still good bloomers. 
We ship H. Katherinae and H. multiflorus as soon as safe to mail. H. multiflorus 
is often not dormant until about Mar. 1. If shipment by mail is desired while still very 
cold, send $1.00 extra for the same heavy insulation as described above for Amaryllis. 
Or we will ship f.o.b. express as soon as available if so directed. 
Hemerocallis. Daylily. The flowers range in color from dark bronzy red, thru 
pastel tones of pink to orange and yellow. They are borne on a branching scape well 
above the foliage. 
The Greek name, meaning “beautiful for a day,” refers to an individual flower. But 
these are so freely produced thru a long period that “beautiful every day” would be 
more apt, as a collection of several sorts shows masses of flowers thruout the spring, 
summer and fall and here we often have some winter flowers. The modern sobriquet of 
“The Perennial Supreme” is well deserved. 
Culture. While their beauty is their greatest recommendation, their easy culture and 
hardiness add to their desirability. I have known abandoned plants here, where we have 
arid, hot summers, to persist for years. They grow well in full sun. Slight shade is better. 
If given constant moisture about their roots, preserving this and coolness of the earth with 
a good mulch, the plants are ideally situated and respond with generosity. They are 
hardy, even in severe winters in the north. They are fibrous rooted, not bulbs, and must 
be planted at once when received. Altho they can be moved any time, it is better to ship 
from late fall to early spring.
