New Daylilies by Dr. A. B. Stout 
This Spring we are pleased to present seven new Daylilies 
developed at the New York Botanical Cardens by Dr. A. 
B. Stout. 
These have been selected after fifteen years of breed¬ 
ing, including the development and the critical observ¬ 
ance of more than 50,000 seedlings. They are, accord¬ 
ingly, desirable and distinct. 
Bagdad. (Stout-1935) June-July; 42". A robust stature 
with a combination of several rich colors characterize 
this daylily. The flowers are full and widely open, 
with the segments somewhat recurving. In color, the 
throat is clear orange; the outer parts of the petals are 
fulvous 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 pat¬ 
tern that is both attractive and pleasing. $3.00 each. 
Cinnabar. (Stout-1931) July-August; IW. Fine deli¬ 
cate shade of brownish red; sepals and petals strongly 
gold-glistening; throat is cadmium 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. $3.00 each. 
Dauntless. (Stout-1935) July-August; 30". The flow- r>- , . , . • . . . . , 
’ ’ ° ’ A Cut Flower Display of late-flowering hybrids of Hemerocallis Multiflora 
ers 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 attractive 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 foli¬ 
age. $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 recurving; the color is a clear, glowing orange 
with no trace of fulvous. The branched scapes bear as 
many as fifteen flowers which stand about 1 8 inches above 
the upper level of the foliage. In the underground 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 contrast¬ 
ing sharply with the rich orange of the rest of the flower. 
$3.00 each. 
Multiflora Summer Hybrids. July-August; 30". Multiflora Day- 
lilies have the distinct and desirable characteristics of (a) 
long bloom period, (b) numerous flowers to a scape, (c) 
small to miniature 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 resulted, with 
Bijou as the forerunner. Among the clear colors, a group of 
about fifty sister seedlings were found to be so identical, as 
well as distinct and desirable, that it was decided to propa¬ 
gate and introduce them as a group. The clear orange blooms 
are two to three inches across and scapes bear up to 50 
blooms, successively, throughout mid-summer. $3.00 each. 
Vesta. (Stout-1931) July; 30". Deep orange flowers with a 
glistening gold sheen. Open flowers have a spread of more 
than 4”. Semi-dwarfed habit, with fine foliage. Flower stems 
about 8" above the foliage level. Holds up well in hot 
weather. $3.00 each. 
^^COLLECTION OFFER. Any five or more Stout Hybrids, here listed, at $2.85 each. 
NOTE:—The following Stout Hybrids have been withdrawn until stock has again increased to a point which permits a price 
not exceeding $3.00. This will not occur before the fall of 1936. The varieties are Bijou, Charmaine, Jubilee, Majestic, 
Nada, Patricia, Princess, Rajah, Sonny, Soudan, Taruga, Theron, Vulcan, and Wau-Bun.
