How to Judge a Daylily 
In addition to first-sight attractiveness the 
following qualities are especially demanded 
in the evaluation and selection of Stout 
Hybrid Daylilies. 
Self Cleaning. The faded flowers must 
drop promptly. 
Texture. Texture of bloom must be 
resistant to hot sun; no unsightly rolling, 
twisting or bleaching. 
_ Carriage. Scapes (stems) must stand up- 
right and support bloom during rains and 
winds; must bear blooms at attractive levels 
in relation to foliage. 
Structure. The blooms must open fully 
regardless of weather. The full-petaled types 
are preferred to narrow-petaled “‘spidery”’ 
types. 
Hardiness. We have observed and tested 
the hardiness of all selections for a period of 
years before introduction. Those with fully 
discontinuous growth are dormant in winter 
and, as a rule, fully hardy in our nursery. 
Many that have the evergreen habit are more 
or less frozen during winter but usually re- 
cover by bloom-time, and all those introduced 
by us to date have bloomed liberally and 
unfailingly, each year, in our nursery. 
New Colors. The most desirable and 
radical color developments include pinks, 
reds, old-rose, buff, bicolors in varying shades, 
and eyed and banded patterns. 
New Seasons. August Pioneer, Bouton- 
niere and H. multiflora extend choice bloom 
for a month later than previously known va- 
rieties. Mikado, as an outstanding example, 
has a tendency to bloom twice—during early 
summer and again during fall. 
New Sizes. Our introductions of these 
hybrids now range in size of bloom from that 
of the dainty freesia to beyond that of the 
amaryllis. Stems range from 1 to 6 feet. 
More Blooms. A single stem of many 
clonal varieties may bear 25 to 30 bloom- 
buds, each opening in succession, and over- 
lapping for 25 to 30 days. Hundreds of 
blooms to a mature or well-grown clump are 
customary. 
More Durable Bloom. Many of the older 
Daylilies open in the morning and wilt or 
bleach through the day; others open during 
the night and wilt in the morning. Some of 
the newer clones remain fresh and open 
throughout daylight hours to late evening and 
midnight. Sonny, for example, opens in the 
evening and remains open until midnight of 
the next day. 
More Shapely Blooms. Hundreds of un- 
usually colored, or giant-sized, seedling selec- 
tions have been rejected because the flower 
either opened bashfully, was unbalanced mn 
design, or the petals were too wavy, narrow, 
or “‘spidery,”’ etc. Mere size is regarded as 
only one of many important points of merit. 
Clean Habit. It is the rule that the new 
varieties all are “‘self-cleaning.”” The wilted 
blooms drop promptly and do not blemish 
the beauty of the newly opened flowers. 
W ant to Listen In ? 
The Daylilies I secured from you year before last 
have all done fine. What’s more, they all proved true 
to name when checked with the display in the New 
York Botanical Garden. j 
When I started to grow Daylilies I found a lot of 
untrue stock on the market. At this time I heard of 
the Farr Nursery Co. Since then, I have been able to 
secure true stock of many meritorious varieties at very 
reasonable prices. Unnamed seedlings that have been 
discarded by Dr. Stout at the New York Botanical 
Gardens are better than half of the named varieties 
isted in some catalogs.

THE STORY OF THE STOUT HYBRIDS 
The Stout Hybrid Daylilies are the result of over 30 years of scientific breed- 
ing, during which approximately 70,000 pedigreed seedlings have been grown. Of 
these, thousands are superior to, or distinct from, existing varieties. It has, 
however, been long since decided to introduce relatively few of these seedlings
