MOONLIGHT Weare pleased to present this new hybrid which 
was recently developed by Mr. Louis Vasseur and awarded 
the First Class Certificate by the Massachusetts Horticul- 
tural Society in 1948. It is without question the outstanding 
pure yellow form of the entire cup-shaded group of lilies. 
The blooms are very large and widely opened with grace- 
fully shaped petals. The color is the warm pale yellow of 
harvest moonlight. The reverse of the petals is delicately 
stained with apricot and there is a suggestion of this color 
on the tips, but unless examined closely this color is not 
visible. The general effect is clear soft gold, which is most 
striking against the deep rich green of the foliage. In the 
mass, or as an individual plant, this lily is one of the show- 
iest possible garden subjects. The plant is vigorous, in- 
creases rapidlv and is most floriferous. Height 3 to 4 feet.

SATAN A new clone developed by the outstanding American 
specialist, Mr. George L. Slate, and offered last season for 
the first time. The plant grows to 2% feet, and bears up 
to four or five well-spaced blooms, a deep currant-red in 
color. One of our men, on seeing it for the first time said, 
“You couldn’t find anything redder than that, nor greener 
than that, no matter how hard you looked.” The individual 
blooms measure six inches across, with the petals in their 
natural position—not forced to gain extra spread. We ex- 
pect this lily to replace all other deep red forms of L. um- 
bellatum as soon as stocks are more generous. It is a good 
grower and increases rapidly in the garden. Each $3.50 
SELECTED SEEDLINGS This is a group of mixed seedings 
also developed by Mr. George L. Slate. It is from these that 
he made his final selections for the series of new lilies that — 
we are beginning to introduce this year. The first named 
clone is SATAN. Several others will be offered during the 
next few years. The SELECTED SEEDLINGS are not a 
chance group, but were carefully bred and those that are 
offered here are all so-called second bests. Almost any of 
them would be good enough to introduce as a new clone, 
but some of them are not sufficiently distinct from other 
lilies now in existence to warrant separate naming. Others 
of very fine quality are being discarded in favor of one of 
the slightly better named clones. The color range is pale 
yellow to orange, through flame, to deep blood red. A very 
few of them have outright-facing, wide-open, or reflexed 
blooms. Any of them is a first-rate addition to the garden. 
It is not possible for us to select from this group in terms 
of color or shape, but you may be certain that each plant 
will be both striking and distinctive.
