Abstract
A new variety of hybrid lily plant bearing large clusters of flowers particularly characterized by their deep pink, gold centered coloration, the flowers being of excellent form and long persistence. The plant is of short stature having moderately long and full leaves and coupled with its medium sized, upright flowers, it is especially suitable as a pot plant variety. Also, its color pattern and silhouette are 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, making it an excellent garden plant, and its bulbs may be precooled and forced throughout the year for pot plant production.
