Abstract
A new variety of hybrid lily plant bearing large clusters of flowers particularly characterized by their rich pink color, their large size, their broad tepals, and their lack of any spotting. This combination is believed to be completely new in the upright Asiatic division of lilies suited to forcing and to mass commercial cultivation. The flowers are of excellent form and long persistence, both on the plant and as cut flowers, the plant is highly resistant to disease and shows high tolerance of virus, making this new lily an excellent garden plant. The clone is vigorous and is a good grower and propagator and its bulbs may be precooled and forced for out-of-season cut flower production.

A new and distinctive variety of Asiatic hybrid lily, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by its large, broad tepalled flowers of rich pink coloration which are completely unspotted; by the excellence of its flower form, its high resistance to disease and tolerance of virus; its vigorous growth habit and rapid natural propagation; and its versatility both as a garden plant and as a cut flower producer from precooled bulbs forced under glass out-of-season.
