THE DAYLILY PLANT iS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE DAYLILY BLOOM 
It is easy to breed Daylilies and tempting to_introduce "one's children," ~~ 
With enthusiasm; especially if the bloom of the moment is accepted as the 
eriterion. But just as true beauty is more than skin deep, so a worth while 
Daylily does not merely consist of a beautiful bloom of the moment or for 
the color plate. 
Most seedling daylilies are beautiful at some time but few of them remain 
beautiful thru the day or thru their bloom season. They lack several, or many, 
of the qualities which meke for the best Daylilies. Just as Curie refined and 
»rocessed tons of pitch blend for traces of ycodium, so Dr. Stout processed and 
refined daylilies of practically «11 existing species, collected from many 
sountries, for a relative trace of survivors with a meximum of the following 
qualities: 
THE EIGHT POINT, TEN YEAR, TEST FOR STOUT SEEDLINGS 
(1) Plants which are not susceptible to thrip or tender to cold 
winters. N.B.-Pinks, as a class, are especially susceptible to 
thrip and foliage wilt. Likewise many other delicate colors. 
(2) Plants which bloom for a long season; dependably, freely and 
characteristically for many years; without special care or 
attention, for the average gardener. 
(3) Blooms which will not wilt, curl, or "burn" before day's end, 
regardless of weather conditions. 
(4) Blooms which remain open longer, which open early in the day, 
and remain open to sunset, or even to midnight, in the garden 
or on the dinner table. 
(5) Blooms which are not hidden in, or too "leggily," above the 
foliage. 
(6) Blooms which "¢lecn" themselves promptly; i.e., the wilted 
. petals drop quickly; not remaining to constitute an unsightly 
picture. 
(7) Stems which are neither too heavy, or to6o light for the type of 
blooms they bear. 
(8) Healthy and lush foliage which does not bedraggle, or brow, 
before fall; which therefore foils the bloom attractively and 
beautifies the garden continuously. 
NOTE - We hendle only and all of Dr. Stout's Daylily Hybrids. They are not, 
necessarily, the only good daylilies, but "less irons in the fire" permits 
better quality and better service. We also know that of the many daylilies, 
hurriedly introduced during recent years, 90% of them will have short, if any, 
careers. So, again, we draw the line with Stout hybrids. They have long since 
included every existing color. They include a wider range of types and seasons 
than is in existence anywhere else. Introductions are made only after applica- 
tion of the Hight Point, Ten Year Test, and after there are enough plants to 
permit an introductory price of $3.00 per strong, husky, field grown plant.
