If you do not have a collection of the daylilies of Dr. A. B. Stout, New 
York Botanical Gardens, you will improve your garden by a liberal selection 
of his creations. They bloom and bloom and bloom on strong scapes that are 
not too tall. For real yard value that’s hard to beat I recommend Caballero, 
Baronet, Dauntless, Mikado, Patricia, Linda, Rajah, Soudan, Bijou and Bou- 
tonniere. In 1951 Caballero received “The Award of Merit” and was 5th among 
the 100 best daylilies in the national popularity poll of The Hemerocallis 
Society. Fifteen of the Stout daylilies ranked high among the best one hun- 
dred. 
In my judgment the best of the moderately-priced, popular, commercial 
varieties of red are Kanapaha (25th in poll) and Mrs. Hugh Johnson (12th). 
For those who are seeking a mass color effect of pink, I suggest a clump 
of Margaret Perry. The brilliant, orange-red flowers fade evenly in the sun 
and by mid-day they are a mass of deep rose-pink. 
One of the best of the early blooming yellows is May Queen, and it is 
not a dwarf. It is one of the first varieties to bloom in the spring and it 
blooms intermittantly throughout the season.
