Lily named Freedom

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of lily plant of the Parkmanni-type Oriental Hybrid particularly distinguished by its large 7 to 8 inch white, downwardly and outwardly projecting saucer-shaped flowers which are borne in a raceme arrangement on long, strong stems and outwardly-projecting pedicels, usually with one bud or flower on each pedicel, and by its green, glossy, and relatively disease-resistant foliage.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of Oriental Hybrid lily plant substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by its large, white, downwardly and outwardly facing saucer-shaped flowers borne on strong, stiff, outwardly projecting pedicels, by petals that are lightly covered with maroon and white spots and have their outer one third portions recurved, by the glossy green and relatively disease-free foliage, and by the long lasting quality of the blooms whether on the plant or as cut flowers.
