Hemerocallis — Day 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 unsurpassea 
as to hardiness, freedom from disease 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 a 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. 
Absolutely Hardy in all parts of the country. Blooms produced freely throughout the season. No bleaching, curl- 
ing or wilting prematurely. Flowers during the evening. Placement of flowers. up and above the foliage. Fae strong 
stems. Folie that is healthy to beautify che garden, Taree garden Beauty—reduce labor costs. 
“Through trellised wallway edges and upon Woodland range, 
By walls and hedges laid low through endless change, 
They kindle sparks of beauty, flow upward ever higher and 
Break the moveless verbage with shifting lines of fire.”

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, Serbia, Manchuria, Korea and Japan as well as from various Botani- 
cal Gardens throughout Europe. During this time he has crossbred these e 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 Tyne 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 in- 
troductions of Dr. Stout’s Ret introductions to date, these
