Abstract
A new variety of hybrid lily plant bearing large upright-facing flowers of excellent form and long persistence, both on the plant and as cut-flowers. The flowers of the new plant are particularly characterized by their pure white color, their lightly ruffled margins, their large size and substance, their upright to semi-upright orientation, and the sharply ascending pedicels of the upper flowers. The plant is particularly characterized by its dark green leaves and an unusually broad leaf under the lowest flower of the stem. This combination is completely new in the Oriental hybrid divisions of lilies suited to forcing and to mass commercial cultivation. The bulbs may be precooled and forced for cut-flower production.

A new and distinctive cultivar of Oriental hybrid lily plant substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by its versatility both as a garden plant and as a cut-flower producer from pre-cooled bulbs forced under glass out of season; the flowers of the new plant being particularly characterized by their pure white color, the lightly ruffled margins, their large size and good substance, their upright to semi-upright orientation, and the sharply ascending pedicels of the upper flowers; the plant being particularly characterized by dark green leaves and an unusually broad leaf (7-9 centimeters in width) under the lowest flower of the stem.
