Foreword 
Daylilies have again shown their ability to 
grow and bloom under adverse conditions. When 
other plants show signs of drought and bloom 
poorly, daylilies go right ahead. 
We have received many complimentary letters 
on the quality of stock sent, and their pleasure 
in our introductions. We will endeavor to send 
good plants at all times. All freshly dug to 
order, no storage plants supplied at bargain 
prices. 
Key te Symbols: F—early; EM—early mid- 
season; M—midseason; LM—late midseason; L 
—late. EXT means extended bloomers, lasting 
until 10:30 p. m. RE means reblooming in fall. 
Varities showing green foliage in winter are 
marked EV. Numbers following the name as 
“EVADNE (51) 48” indicates year of introduc- 
tion in parenthesis and the height of the plant in 
flower, in inches. 
Our blooming season begins in mid-May. Mid- 
season varieties have larger flowers and their 
season is from the middle of June until the 
second week in August. Late ones bloom from 
August until early October. The time of bloom 
given is for this locality. 
Culture: The plants bloom best in a sunny 
location, but will take shade for half a day. They 
need moisture before and during the blooming 
period to produce larger and finer blooms. Allow 
two feet between plants in normal growth. Re- 
set and divide in early spring or after their 
blooming period in August until late September. 
In planting, place the crown a little below the 
surface, and spread out the roots. Old or dried 
manure and compost with some bonemeal added 
induce a good root growth and large flowers. 
Avoid chemical fertilizers or those high in nitro- 
gen as the color of the flowers are then often 
not normal. 
Fragrance: All evening bloomers and the 
lichter yellows (00-5) are fragrant. Also nearly 
all in the yellow and orange shades. Pink, red 
and bicolor varieties do not seem to have it, or 
only in a limited amount.
