Asiatic lily plant named "Oreglow"

Abstract

A new variety of hybrid lily plant bearing clusters of many large flowers particularly characterized by their rich yellow-orange melon color tone and lack of spotting, as well as by their unusually large size, which features are completely new in the upright Asiatic division of lilies suited to forcing and to mass commercial cultivation. The flowers of this new plant are of excellent form, strong color and long persistence, both on the plant and as cut flowers. The plant is an excellent garden plant having high resistance to disease and showing high tolerance of virus. The bulbs of this plant may be precooled and forced out of season for cut flower production, the clone being extremely vigorous and a good grower and propagator.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of Asiatic hybrid lily plant substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by its large sized and unique unspotted yellow-orange melon color; the new plant is also distinguished by its vigorous growth and rapid natural propagation, the excellence of its flower form, its high resistance to disease and high tolerance of virus, and its versatility both as a garden plant and as a cut flower produced under glass from precooled bulbs forced out-of-season.
