MELLOW MOON 
MELLOW MOON—Class 420 (King Midas x Leading Lady) Seedling KMPC8. 
A beautiful light orange, nearly self color, for which the name MELLOW 
MOON is a natural and best describes its mellow glowing color. Truly a new 
era in golden color which is entirely different. 
Opens eight good facing well attached 4% to 5% inch florets with good sub- 
stance on a 18 to 20 bud 28 to 30 inch flower head with six buds showing color. 
Medium very stiff spike, grows 60 inches and more tall. Florets are nicely 
ruffled and waved. Opens to tip of spike when cut in tight bud. 
Produces large amount of bulblets which germinate easily making fine-look- 
ing bulbs. Tops for both exhibition and commercial growing. 
Blooms in 80 to 85 days. 
For a new variety—MELLOW MOON has won a lot of blue ribbons. Under 
seedling number KMPC8 it won a blue ribbon in the three spike seedling class 
at Madison, Wisconsin, Show, 1948. During 1949 at the Maryland State Sh w, 
Havre de Grace, it received an A rating in the seed‘ing class, and a b‘ue ribbon 
in the basket class. At the Eastern International Show, Binghamton, N. Y., 
under seedling number it won a blue ribbon in the basket class (as per picture 
on back). 
During 1950 MELLOW MOON won blue ribbons in the single spike class at 
the Iowa State show and the Keystone Pennsylvania show. (Only single spike 
classes reported at time of going to press.) 
Judging from the great number of favorable comments received, MELLOW 
MOON is sure to go over in a big way.

year or last. I also want to thank you for the extras and overcount on Mellow 
Moon and Antietam.”
