Abstract
A new variety of hybrid lily plant bearing large clusters of flowers of excellent form and comparatively large size particularly characterized by their rich orange coloration, accented by a golden orange midrib, the plant itself being of medium height with abundant foliage. This moderately short stature and the large clusters of flowers make this plant especially suitable as a pot plant variety, its color pattern and silhouette being completely new in the upright Asiatic divisions of lilies suited to forcing and to mass commercial cultivation. The plant is highly resistant to disease and shows high tolerance of virus. It is an excellent garden plant and the bulb may be precooled and forced throughout the year for pot plant production.
