Hemerocallis — Dew lilies 
Introductions by: Dr. A. B. Stout, Ph.D. 
Curator Emeritus, New York Botanical Gardens 
We introduce a new race created from the old favorite “Lemon Lily” — new colors — new forms — 
prolonged flowering periods and varieties that remain in flower in the evening. 
From early spring until frost this group of “Lilies” demands no special care in the garden. They are 
unsurpassed as to hardiness, freedom from disease and and insect pests. Their five-month flowering period 
of bloom — still more for a southern garden where they will bloom two or three times a year — makes 
them valuable as a cut flower, in the perennial border, on slopes or banks to prevent soil erosion and for 
naturalizing in the garden or field. 
Of easy and simple culture, they demand a reasonably moist soil, fairly rich. and prefer, but do not 
require, slight shade. 
Outstanding qualities of Dr. Stout's Hybrid Hemerocallis 
For more than 30 years Dr. A. B. Stout of the New York Botanical Gardens has secured wild and 
varied species of Daylilies, new to science, from China, Mongolia, Siberia, Manchuria, Korea and Japan 
as well as from various Botanical Gardens throughout Europe. During this time he has crossbred these 
species from these far flung sections of the earth, scientifically and objectively until he has had as many 
as 150,000 seedlings. 
Dr. Stout achieved the red, pink and mottled types of Hemerocallis twenty years ago. However, 
he had to test the performance of each variety before he could announce it as he considered this requisite 
a most important factor. The color of a Day Lily is not accepted by Dr. Stout until it is inbred for many 
more years to rarer qualities of superior performance. That is why less than 60 of Dr. Stout’s Hybrids 
have been introduced during his 30 years of accomplishment. 
We feel privileged in offering this master list of new introductions of Dr. Stout’s best introductions 
to date, these are the qualities that are demanded by our select clientele.
