Performance 

For more than thirty years Dr. A. B. Stout has obtained wild and 
varied species of Daylilies, new to science, from China, Mongolia, 
Siberia, Manchuria, Korea and Japan; also from various Botanical 
Gardens of Europe. During this time he has crossbred these species 
and their offspring, scientifically and objectively, to a total of more than 
150,000 seedlings. 
Dr. Stout achieved red, pink and the other new Daylily colors twenty 
years ago. He could have introduced hundreds of ‘‘New Daylilies”’ 
on the basis of new and gorgeous colors, new patterns, new sizes and 
new seasons. He has not done so because the “performance” of a 
Daylily is as important as the beauty of its bloom. 
The color or beauty of a Daylily seedling is not accepted by Dr. Stout 
until it is inbred for many more years to the rarer qualities of superior 
performance. That is why less than 60 Stout Hybrid Daylilies have 
been introduced, during 30 years of pioneering and accomplishment. 
That is why Stout Hybrids are the headliners in Daylily yearbooks, 
articles and editorials. 
Here are the distinctive qualities of superior performance which 
Stout seedlings must demonstrate unfailingly for at least eight years 
before introduction. These are the qualities which you want in your 
garden and which you can expect from a Stout Hybrid Daylily. 
Distinctive Qualities of Performance 
STOUT HYBRID DAYLILIES 
@ Plants that are not tender to cold winters. 
@ Plants that bloom freely and dependably for a long season. 
@ Blooms that do not bleach, curl or wilt prematurely. 
@ Blooms that ‘‘clean’’ themselves, i.e. the spent flowers drop quickly 
and do not remain to detract from their successors. 
® Blooms that remain open evenings. 
@ Blooms that are not hidden in, or not too far above, the foliage. 
@ Stems that are neither too heavy nor too light for the type of blooms 
they bear. 
@ Healthy and lush foliage to beautify the garden continuously.
