UMBELLATUM (European garden hybrids) The so-called Flame, 
Candlestick or Torch Lily of our gardens. All bear umbels of 
upright, cup-shaped flowers in brilliant colors and nothing can 
compare with them when planted in groups in the border. They 
are of easiest culture, require no care and establish well, 
quickly forming good sized clumps. We list a group of dis- 
tinct color and habit. Late June. Plant 5 to 6 inches deep. 
Grandiflorum The common form, a brilliant orange-red spotted 
with deeper red. Height 2% feet. Each 50c Dozen $5.00 
Mahogany A showy form with a good head of mahogany-red 
blooms. We have dropped this lily as it is superseded by 
Campfire and umbellatum Satan. 
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 petals in their na- 
tural 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 seedlings 
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. 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 yel- 
low 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.
