HEMEROCALLIS - DAYLILIES 
An attractive pool Planting 
THE DEPENDABLE LILY 
Those who have tried bulbous Lilies have usually 
experienced their annoying disappearance and their 
succession of problems and disappointments. 
Not so with the Daylily (Hemerocallis), for Day- 
lilies are unsurpassed in permanence, hardiness and 
ease of culture. They actually enjoy naturalization 
on a grassy knoll or slope; or in a meadow without 
cultivation for years at a time. No serious insect pest 
has, thus far, attacked their roots, bloom or foliage. 
Whether the location is wet or dry, acid or lime, sand 
or clay, sunny or shady is of little concern to the Day- 
lilies which we offer. 
A SUPERIOR PERENNIAL 
1. -—New, wide and varied range of color and structure. 
2. -—Four months of bloom sequence. 
3 . —Profuse display and cut flowers during the otherwise dull sum¬ 
mer season. 
4. —Sweetly attractive lily fragrance in many varieties. 
5. —Clean and decorative foliage effect. 
DAYLILy CULTURE 
Prepare holes large enough to amply accommodate the roots. Spread 
the roots and work soil around them. Set them so that after the ground 
settles they will be exactly even to the ground mark level of nursery 
row. Water several times in case of dry spells after transplanting. 
DAYLILY USE 
The semi-dwarf and medium sorts now available are especially val¬ 
uable to the summer rock garden and for perennial foregrounds. Other 
types are respectively useful in the perennial middleground and back¬ 
ground; in the shrubs for border foreground; as specimens; in beds; 
borders and masses by themselves; in naturalized colonies; along pools 
and streams.

NEW DAYLILIES 
—BY— 
DR. A. B. STOUT 
This Fall we are pleased to introduce eight new Daylilies developed 
at the New York Botanical Gardens by Dr. A. B. Stout. These are 
worthy additions to the previous group, consisting of Cinnabar, Mikado, 
Soudan, Vesta, and Wau-Bun. 
This 1935 group, likewise, has been selected after fifteen years of 
breeding, including the development and observance _ of more than 
50,000 seedlings. They are similarly, desirable and distinct. 
BAGDAD— (Stout-1935) June-July; 42”- A robust stature with a 
combination of several rich colors characterize this daylily. I he flowers 
are full and widely open, with the segments somewhate recurving, in 
color, the throat is clear orange; the outer parts of the petals are ful¬ 
vous red over orange, which gives a shade close to “vinaceous rufus 
(color standards, by Ridgeway); the veins and a rather narrow mid- 
zone are almost “madder brown”. The blades of the sepals are paler 
and more uniformly one color. The combination of several colors in 
the flower gives a gay and bold pattern that is both attractive and 
pleasing. $3.00 each. 
BIJOU—(Stout-1935) July; 25”. The first distinct and commercial¬ 
ly available, small-flowered daylily, of Multiflora type. Bloom stems 
are stiffly erect and much branched. Blooms are clustered, profuse and 
full; spread 2%”. Ground color is a shade of orange, showing clear m 
the ’throat; otherwise, strongly overcast rich fulvous red, with darker 
mid-zone, in a combination of sprightly color effects. $3.00 each. 
CINNABAR—(Stout-1031) Tuly. August: 2%’. Fine delicate shade of 
brownish red; sepals and petals strongly gold-glistening; throat is cad¬ 
mium yellow; outer half of petals sprinkled with rich fulvous red. 
Bloom spreads 5” and is recurving,.. Up to 18 flowers on one stem. 
Stems stiff and stout branched. $3.0.0 each. 
DAUNTLESS—(Stout-1935) July, August; 30”. The flowers are 
very full and medium large with rather broad and somewhat spatulate 
petals. At the base, in the throat of the flower, the color is greenish; 
the blades of the petals and the sepals are pale yellowish-orange some¬ 
what lighter than cadmium yellow, and in the petals there is an attrac¬ 
tive mid-zone of delicate pale fulvous. The colors are in pastel shades 
that are subdued and delicately blended and the flowers have good 
texture. The erect branched scapes extend slightly above the upper 
reaches of the foliage. $3.00 each. 
MIDAS—(Stout-1935) June-July; 40”._ The flowers have a spread 
of about five inches; the segments are pointed at the apex and recurv¬ 
ing; the color is a clear, glowing, golden orange with no trace oi tul- 
vous. The branched scapes bear as many as fifteen flowers which stand 
about 18 inches above the upper level of the foliage. In the under¬ 
ground parts there is a compact habit of growth. This seedling is a 
hybrid of the Luteola Daylily x Hemerocallis aurantiaca. It was se¬ 
lected in 1929 by Mr. Franklin B. Mead as an excellent and exceptional 
plant in respect to the rather tall scapes and the rich clear orange color 
of the flowers. $3.00 each. 
MIKADO— (Stout-1931) June, July, 3 ’- Flowers of a striking color 
the large spot of mahogany red in each petal contrasting sharply with 
the rich orange of the rest of the flower. $3.00 each. 
MULTIFLOR SUMMER HYBRIDS—July-August; 30”. Multifora 
Daylilies have the distinct and desirable characteristics of (a) long 
bloom period, (b) numerous flowers to a scape, (c) small to minature 
blooms which are very effective in either mass or cut flowers display. 
The species is native to China and of recent importation by Dr. Stout 
for breeding purposes. Several striking developments have already re¬ 
sulted, with Bijou as the forerunner. Among the clear colors, a group 
of about fifty sister seedings were found to be so identical, as well as 
distinct and desirable, that it was decided to propagate and introduce 
them as a group. The clear orange blooms are two to three inches 
across and scapes bear up to 50 blooms, successively, thruout mid-sum- 
mer. $3.00 each. 
PATRICIA— (Stout-1935) Early to late July; 36”. This daylily is 
a sister seedling of the Dauntless Daylily and in habit of growth and 
season of bloom it is much the same; but the flowers are clear and even 
toned pale yellow, of shade near lemon chrome, with the throat, green¬ 
ish at the base. The flowers are medium large, 5 to 7” across, with pro¬ 
nounced fragrance; the petals and sepals overlap and conform in out¬ 
line to give a very full flower of a firm and waxy texture. $3*00 each.
