Daylilies (HEMEROCALLIS) 
OLD FAITHFULS IN MODERN DRESS 
W eat our pioneers reached the vast area that is now Yellowstone National 
Park they were amazed to see a geyser of water shoot into the air at what 
seemed to be regular intervals. The eruption was so constant in its timing 
that the geyser became known as “Old Faithful.” ) 
Daylilies can well be called the “Old Faithfuls” of your garden. They will 
bloom year after year with a regularity that makes them the admired spot in the 
garden. They will burst forth with beautiful flowers in the rocky areas of New 
England, the flat lands of Florida, the farming sections of the West, and in the 
great valleys of California. 
Daylilies will grow practically anywhere. You can plant them in lime or acid, 
sandy or clay soils, in sun or shade, in hot or cold, wet or dry climates. They re- 
quire less care than any other perennial; are practically pest- and disease-free. 
There are colonies of Daylilies in full bloom each year in Weiser Park that receive 
no attention, no cultivation. 
Daylilies answer the present demand for summer color without burdensome 
labor. They add beauty and life to your garden throughout the summer—and 
don’t have to be moved in the fall. Daylilies are a permanent addition to your 
borders. 
By proper selection of varieties you can have Daylily bloom from May through 
October in a marvelous range of color. New forms and colors are now available 
that were never before known to Daylily enthusiasts, altogether different from 
the reddish orange Daylily of your grandmother’s garden. New color tones in- 
clude bicolors (two colors in one flower), pastel tones, blended tones, peach tints, 
pink, red, brown, and mahagony—a complete range of tone from the soft yellow 
of Patricia to the dark maroon of Theron. 
ONE OUT OF A THOUSAND 
R. A. B. STOUT, Curator of Education and Labora- 
tories of one of the leading metropolitan botanical 
gardens in the United States, is a true pioneer in the 
breeding of new forms of Daylilies. Since 1912 he produced 
more than 70,000 new Daylily seedlings, which were carefully 
evaluated over a period of years in New York City and at 
Weiser Park. 
A very high standard of value was set by Dr. Stout, and 
only 48 of these seedlings have been introduced by Farr 
Nursery Co. Some of these introductions still exist in such 
small quantities that they have been withdrawn from com- 
mercial lists and held for propagation, the only plants like 
them in the entire world! 
As a result of Dr. Stout’s high standards, each Stout 
Hybrid offered to you in this list ts literally and truly one out 
of a thousand. Each Stout Hybrid has passed the severe tests 
of endurance, hardiness, individuality and increased beauty 
imposed by the originator.
