L. “Dr. Abel”—The darkest red found in the “FIESTA 
HYBRIDS” was selected by us to be named after Dr. 
Abel who did such fine pioneering work with lilies. 
Like all lilies of the “Fiesta” type, this one has numerous 
pendant flowers and will grow from four to six feet 
tall. Flowers are densely speckled with black, they are 
strongly recurved and contrast beautifully with the dark 
green, glossy foliage and the dark brown stems of the 
plant. We recommend this lily highly.

L. “Fiesta Hybrids®”—As cheerful and gaily colored 
as the name implies, this new race of seedlings has 
neatly reflexed flowers, nicely spaced on thin wiry stems. 
Resulting from'crosses between L. Davidi (L. Willmot- 
tiae) and related types, they are one of the brightest 
patches of color in our lily fields during July. Extremely 
uniform as to flowering time and habit, the pleasing 
variations in color and form of flower enhance their 
beauty and usefulness. This is one of the few crosses 
which has produced no inferior types. The colors range 
from bright yellow through orange to a beautiful dark 
rich red. The latter color is new to this type of lily. Most 
of the flowers are of the typical recurved turks-cap 
shape and many of the plants have blossoms facing out- 
ward or somewhat upward with the petals only slightly 
recurved. A sun-loving group, plant them 5 to 6 inches 
deep where they will get plenty of direct sunlight. Propa- 
gation is most rapid from the numerous underground 
stem bulblets which may be separated from the old 
stem in the fall and replanted near the mother bulb. 
Resistant to mosiac, this group has proven a wonderful 
addition to the garden lilies. Excellent cut flowers, the 
stems are easy to handle and arrange and the colors are 
particularly attractive indoors. Award of Merit, Massa- 
chusetts Horticultural Society 1946.

L. formosanum—tall, late strain—tThe latest flow- 
ering of all the popular lilies, this white trumpet type is 
particularly desirable for gardening in moderate cli- 
mates. The plants are often in flower as late as December 
here on the Pacific Coast. Of easiest culture, this lily 
should be in every garden. Our strain is tall and free 
flowering and has been grown from selected plants for 
several generations. 
The bulbs are very small, but should be planted 5 to 
6 inches deep since Formosanum produces very heavy 
stem roots. Full sun or partial shade suits it well and

L. “Golden Chalice Hybrids®”—This is another 
instance where we have chosen to introduce an entire 
strain of seedlings which have shown marked improve- 
ment over the parent plants rather than segregate a few 
individuals and propagate them for eventual naming 
and introduction. After testing the best known varieties 
of the Dauricum-Umbellatum-Elegans types from Hol- 
land, England and the Orient, the possibilities for im- 
provement in color and shape of the flowers appealed to 
us. Our main objective of clearer, brighter colors with 
the elimination of the muddy oranges and orange-reds 
from the group has largely been realized in the Golden 
Chalice Hybrids. After roguing out the less desirable 
forms the range of colors of the remainder of the popu- 
lation varies from clear lemon yellow through the rich 
warm shades of gold and apricot-orange. As with all 
our other strains of seedlings the Golden Chalice Hy- 
brids exhibit exceptional vigor. The bulbs are uni- 
formly white, clean and sound. Plant the bulbs in a 
warm, sunny location where they will get full sun, at 
least 6 inches deep, since the stem roots are heavy and 
numerous underground stem bulblets are formed. Shal- 
low planting will reduce the increase from stem bulb- 
lets and tend to cause the bulb to split up in several dif- 
ferent crowns. Extremely drought resistant, these hy- 
brids are ideally suited for that warm, dry corner of the 
border where they will flourish and flower freely with 
a minimum of care. June flowering, height 21, to 4 feet.

L. “Green Mountain Hybrids”—tThis group re- 
sulted from seed obtained from the collection of Dr. L. 
Horsford Abel. It was originally a mixture of his finest 
selected white trumpets, including such forms as: L. 
princeps “George C. Creelman,” L. princeps “Shelburne 
Hybrid,” L. “Crow’s Hybrids” and L. centifolium. 
Re-selection of these in an effort to fix the character of 
unusual size of flower, combined with a green coloring 
of the throat and the brown shaded exterior of the petals 
has resulted in an impressive group of trumpet lilies. 
Quite distinct in shape and color from our Olympic 
hybrids, they are definitely a superior group of plants, 
particularly valuable for exhibition and specimen plant- 
ing as well as being a magnificent cut flower. They 
require the same cultural treatment as the Olympic 
Hybrids and are at their best when planted in very light 
shade, where their unusual coloring can be seen to their 
best advantage.
