aE MEROCALLIS 
DA YLILIES 
Here is a perennial that can “take it” in most any section of the country, and it 
seems to thrive well in lime or acid soil; sandy or clay soil; sun or light shade; hot 
or cold; wet or dry situations. They bloom from midsummer to early fall, a time 
when so few other perennials are in bloom. 
Recent introductions have brought new colors and types that are very appealing 
and they are a distinct break from the common yellow, or orange, that one is apt 
to associate with daylilies--They can now be had-in peach tints; pastel tones; blended 
tones or solid colors, from soft yellow to wine red. Some of the two-tone effects are 
really startling revelations of what the hybridizer is able to accomplish. 
The Hemerocallis with its sterling qualities deserves to be placed among our 
finest perennials, and the collection we offer represents some of the very best varieties. 
We are growing and testing many new varieties of Hemerocallis. Those with 
outstanding good qualities will appear in our list in the future. 
Hemerocallis transplant readily almost any time, but early spring and late 
summer is most desirable. Our best shipping season here is from August 1 to 
October 1. 
A generous amount of Peat Moss in the soil will work wonders in establishing 
plants in their new location. 
August Pioneer (Stout 1939) Blooms from mid-August until October. Grows to a 
height of 36”. Flowers are medium sized and lavishly set on slender, graceful 
stems. Chrome-orange in color, with outer half of petals delicately flushed red. 
Due to the very late blooming habit of this variety it is very much worth while.
