Abstract
A new variety of hybrid lily plant particularly characterized by the rich golden orange color of its relatively large blooms of excellent form, borne in large clusters and having a lack of spotting; thereby providing a combination that is completely new in the upright Asiatic divisions of lilies suited to forcing and to mass commercial cultivation. The plant is highly resistant to disease, shows high tolerance of virus, and is an excellent garden plant with bulbs that may be precooled and forced for cut flower production.
Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
I claim: 1. The new and distinctive variety of Asiatic hybrid lily plant and parts thereof substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by its large, broad but "clawed" tepalled flowers of rich golden orange coloration which are completely unspotted; by the excellence of its flower form, its vigorous growth 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.
