Abstract
A new variety of hybrid Asiatic lily particularly distinguished by its large clusters of medium size flowers of a pure rose color tone which is unique in the hybrid Asiatic divisions of lilies suited to forcing and commercial cultivation, the flowers being of excellent form and long persistence both on the plant and as cut-flowers. The plant itself is highly resistant to disease, shows high tolerance to virus, and is an excellent garden plant. Also, this plant is very vigorous, is a good grower and propagator, and the bulbs may be precooled and forced for cut-flower production.
