DAYLILIES 
Fall 1944. 
HE Daylily ts an oldtime perennial that has been reyuvenated and modern- 
ized largely through the efforts of Dr. A. B. Stout. Curator of Education 
and Laboratories in one of the chief metropolitan botanical gardens in the 
United States, Dr. Stout has done an enormous amount of work in breeding 
new varieties. 
The Farr Nursery Company is proud of its part in testing Dr. Stout’s hybrids 
and in popularizing the relatively small number that have survived the rigid 
tests given them. The very high standards set by Dr. Stout resulted in only 
48 of over 70,000 seedlings being offered to the public. Needless to say, they 
represent the pinnacle of achievement in this hybridizer’s art, and are recom- 
mended for their endurance, hardiness, individuality, and beauty. 
Wartime gardens are perfect proving grounds for Daylilies. The gardener 
with little or no time to spend on his flowers will welcome them, for they require 
no attention once established. They resist summer drought and are rarely 
troubled by insects or diseases. Daylilies bloom . and bloom . and 
bloom! And the satisfying thing about them is that a new crop of flowers is 
produced every morning to replace those of the previous day. “Beautiful for 
a day” is the meaning of their botanical name, Hemerocallis, but a more accurate 
description would be “Beautiful day after day.” 
Plant plenty of these new hybrid Daylilies, and watch them look after them- 
selves. Their lovely colors, ease of culture, and above all their dependability 
will make you thankful for them in wartime—or any time!

DAYLILIES “om Spring 

For an accent plant- 
ing in a natural set- 
ting we suggest Day- 
lilies. Use them for 
a bold splash of color 
along a stream or 
pool. Repeat the ef- 
fect throughout the 
summer by _ using 
several varieties 
which bloom at dif- 
ferent times.
