Abstract
A new variety of hybrid lily plant bearing large clusters of flowers distinguished by their clear buff-orange coloration and virtual lack of spots, the flowers being of medium size, upright, and of excellent form with long persistence. The medium sized, upright flowers of this plant, with its color pattern and silhouette, make it especially suitable as a pot plant variety, completely new in the upright Asiatic divisions of lilies suited to forcing and mass commercial cultivation. This plant is highly resistant to disease and shows high tolerance of virus; it is an excellent garden plant; and the bulbs may be precooled and forced throughout the year for pot plant production. The clone is vigorous and is a good grower and propagator.
Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
I claim: 1. A new and distinctive variety of Asiatic hybrid lily plant and parts thereof, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by its virtually unspotted, clear buff-orange flowers; and by its short stemmed, longer, and abundantly leaved, upright flowering silhouette particularly suited for pot plant culture and for forcing into flower out-of-season from properly precooled bulbs.
