"For the everyday gardener, the daylily offers untold possibilities; and for the specialist who indulges in hybridizing, a field that hardly has an equal in all the plant world. Each year the hybridizers give us plants of greater ruggedness, a wider range of colors, and infinitely more beauty. Yet the work has hardly begun. This book gets right down to earth. Written by a grower of many years' expeirence, with regional chapters by the leading daylily authorities of the country, it will prove invaluable to the beginner - and it also contains much information of interest to the old timers.
