“The. order of daylilies just received 
from ycu today merits a letter. It’s the 
first I’ve had from you — because last 
year I thought your prices high. I’ve had 
quite a few from other sources and I 
must tell you—if. comparatively—one ot 
their plants is worth a dollar—yours are 
worth $10.00 and I mean that. If I’d only 
known all this two years ago. We must 
learn the hard way.” P. D. Pittenger, 
Easton, Pa.

“Evening bloomers are the best of all 
missionaries to the underprivileged who 
have never seen modern hemerocallis. 
All summer long they call to us. From 
way across the garden, they shout at 
me.’ George Proctor, Harrison, New 
Yerk. | 
“TI think your Daylilies are the most 
beautiful I have seen. I possess about 
sixty varieties and nearly a third are 
from your nursery. Dominion is really 
the loveliest polychrome I have seen. 
Afterglow nearly takes my breath away 
—the most beautiful reflection of glow- 
ing embers.’ Mrs. Peter Rasicavage, 
Kingston, Pa. ©

your plants.’ Cloyd F. Sensenbach. White 
Haven, Pa.

you around twenty years ago. “Better 
Plants by Farr” are better plants by far.” 
Mrs. Walter Sharpe, Roanoke, Virginia. 
“A year ago I ordered quite a number 
of Stout Hybrid Daylilies from you. To 
say I have been repaid for my trouble 
and expense does not in ANY way ex- 
press my pleasure and satisfaction. In @ 
small, hot southern community, to have 
such blooms and color during this and 
many hot dry seasons. To enjoy the in- 
teresting changes, robust habits and vig- 
orous growth under such conditions, is 
not only pleasure but amazing.”’ Mrs. Sid- 
ney P. Smith, Livingston, Alabama, 
“your plants are exactly as described 
in your booklets. No exaggeration.” John 
Zimmerman, Philadelphia, Pa.

ster‘ing is on my silver in my opinion.

list.” Mrs. Bright Taylor, Ocala, Florida.

them.” Mrs. H. D. Thompson, Pittsburgh, 
Pa.

settled in their new environment, and

taining us for the past week with a stalk- 
ful of blossoms apiece. All of the plants 
appear to be well established. Thank you 
for helping us have a beautiful garden.” 
Miss ‘Louise Thompson, Beloit, Wis. 
“Tt had purchased from another nur- 
sery for comparison. The others were 25 
percent cheaper in price. One look at 
your plants as against theirs, your pack- 
aging as against their poor examples, and 
I now agree with your slogan: “BETTER 
PLANTS BY FARR.” 
...Of course, you have my permission 
to use my letter as a testimonial. All I 
said was true. I am indeed more than 
satisfied with your service and plants. 
After being in the ground just two weeks, 
two of the plants are sending up flower 
stems.’ Michael Titefsky, Redding Ridge, 
Conn.

places. Yours are. the only ones that I 
have been entirely satisfied with.” Mrs. 
G. B. Townsend, Mangum, Oklahoma. 
“I always feel confident that when I 
buy any Stout variety from you, -the 
variety, aS well as the plant sent out, 
will be of A-1 quality! Soudan has not 
received any percentage of the praise it 
deserves. You could not demand better 
substance, branching, foliage. I could 
talk about Stout daylilies all night, so I 
must stop now. Am not in the habit of 
giving “testimonials”, as above appears to 
be—but mean all of it.” Harry I. Tuggle, 
Martinsville, Va, 
“T purchased five of the Stout hybrid 
daylilies from you and they are simply 
beautiful healthy clumps and require so 
little care—they are truly the most satis- 
faltory plants in my _ garden.’ Mrs. 
Maurice E. Warner, Berwyn, Penna. 
% WHAT FARR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT STOUT HYBRID DAYLILIES (Continued) 
“TI wish to take this opportunity to 
compliment you on your efficient handling 
of this order. My profession is that of 
system analyist and I can readily see 
that your organization must be well or- 
ganized to handle orders so smoothly and 
promptly. I have been dealing with mail 
order nurseries for many years, and, in 
my exverience, such fine service is not 
tco common.” J. M. Weiss, Staten Is- 
land, New York. 
“T am herewith sending my order for 
more hemsrocallis. The ones received last 
year have bloomed beautifully this sea- 
son and the other clumps have been a 
mass of bloom—truly the joy cf my gar- 
den. In fact, I’ve never been disappointed 
in any of your daylilies.’ Mrs. Nolas F. 
West, Sardis, Miss. 
“The full collections of Dr. Stout's 
Daylilies I purchased from you two years 
ago are the most magnificent lilies I have 
ever seen. Please send m=? your 1953 cata- 
logue as I would like to get about ten 
later introductions.’ W'ckham Novelty 
Nursery, Odessa, New York. 
“T certainly am enjoying my daylilies 
this hot, dry season. I do not have to 
worry about them dying. We have been 
forbidden to us® water, but they look 
good.” Lila M. Wilscn, Clark’s Summit, 
Penna. 
“My mother was an entomologist. Her 
line of work passed on to me at least a 
knowledge of good healthy plants when 
I see them, and yours are such. During 
the past few years plants have come in 
terrible shane even from the best nur- 
series, so it was a joyful surprise to see 
yours. We can us® more daylilies next 
season. Thank you again.” Mrs. F. W. 
Wood, Islesboro, Maine. 
“Daylilies from you last fall are a great 
satisfaction to us. It is our intention to 
grow daylilies for all we are worth. We 
love the ‘willingness’ of these beautiful 
flowers and had not realized they came 
in such variety, until we had these from 
you. That ‘willingness’ means that I have 
the heauty of flowers during the sum- 
mer. For years, before I knew of the day- 
lilies, we simply conditioned ourselves to 
like what came—the tall weeds and the 
shrilling insects. So these flowers have 
been a real sift to us and we are deeply. 
grateful.’ Mrs. Wiliam Allen Wood, 
Indianapolis, Indiana. 
“T have about 60 varieties and they are 
the joy of my life through the summer. 
I have two acres of wcods, four small 
streams and Many springs, so you can 
imagine they®love it here.” Mrs. M. R, 
Yerkes, Bryn Mawr, Penna. 
“My lilies are growing very nicely in spite 
of the continued drought in New Eng- 
land. Hollyhocks against a white picket 
fence with daylilies filling in, in front of 
them, make a lovely and typical setting 
for this locality.’ Sara Young, Meridan, 
Conn.
