Lily plant lilium `India`

Abstract

A new variety of hybrid lily plant bears large clusters of flowers of excellent form and long persistence. The flowers of the new plant are particularly characterized by their consistently outward-facing flowers which are close to its stem. This combination is completely new in the Asiatic hybrid lilies. The plant is highly resistant to disease. It is an excellent pot plant as well as garden plant. The bulbs may be precooled and forced for pot flower production. The clone is vigorous and is a good grower and propagator.

I claim: 
     
       1.
