STOUT HYBRID DAYLILIES result 
from 30 years of scientific and objective 
hybridizing by Dr. A. B. Stout at the 
New York Botanical Gardens. 
Bertrand H. Farr was one of very few 
who, in 1919, agreed with Dr. Stout that 
some day there would be the truly red, 
truly pink and other new daylily colors, 
as well as the new sizes, new types and 
new seasons, which Dr. Stout has since 
then pioneered and achieved. 
During the past thirty years a thou- 
sand of Dr. Stout’s seedlings could 
justifiably have been introduced as “new 
and different,’ but less than 80 have 
thus far been named for the specific and 
distinctive qualities listed below. 
These have survived years of the most 
critical tests, comparisons and evalua- 
tions. All of them are of superlative 
garden habit. Not one of Dr. Stout’s 
introductions resembles another in its 
season. 
This catalog lists those of the eighty 
introductions which are in good supply 
for 1950. 
Anew flower opens 
every day for more 
than a month on 
many varieties.

EIGHT POINTS OF DISTINCTION—STOUT HYBRIDS DAYLILIES 
1—Plants are not tender to cold winters. 
2—Plants bloom freely and dependably for a long season. 
3-_Blooms do not bleach, curl or wilt prematurely. 
4—Spent blooms drop quickly and do not remain to detract from their successors. 
5—Blooms remain open evenings. 
6—Blooms are not hidden in, or not too far above, the foliage. 
7—Stems are neither too heavy nor too light for the type of blooms they bear. 
8—Foliage is healthy and lush, to beautify the garden continuously.
