Abstract
A new variety of hybrid lily plant bearing clusters of large flowers on a tall stem, particularly distinguished by their deep red coloration, even in the bud stage, the glossy sheen of their upper tepals and by their inconspicuous spotting, the flowers being of excellent form and long persistence both on the plant and as cut flowers. This combination is completely new in the upright Asiatic divisions of lilies suited to forcing and to mass commercial cultivation. The plant is an excellent garden plant and is highly resistant to disease showing high tolerance of virus. The bulbs may be precooled and forced for cut flower production and the clone is vigorous and is a good grower and propagator.
Description
This new variety of lily plant originated as a seedling selected from a group of seedlings planted by me at Sandy, Oreg., and resulting from crossing of the clonal cultivar `Connecticut Red` as the seed parent with the clonal cultivar `Lovesong` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,178). The objective of this crossing was the production of lilies in shades of red well suited to forcing for cut flower production out of season, heretofore unknown in the lily breeding art, and the selected seedling appeared to me to be a satisfactory example of my said objective.
The flowers of this new lily are characterized by large size, broad tepalled form, upright orientation, and a rich, deep red color accented by a glossy sheen, thereby providing a color pattern unique in this type of lily. This selected seedling was asexually reproduced by me at Sandy, Oreg., with such satisfactory results that extensive reproduction was carried on under my direction at Sandy, Oreg., through successive generations by bulb scale propagation and by natural propagation from bulblets, which demonstrated that the novel and distinctive characteristics of this new variety would hold true under asexual propagation from generation to generation and appeared to be firmly fixed. This new plant has been found to be well suited to forcing out of season when the bulbs are dug at the appropriate time and properly precooled; October-dug bulbs, properly precooled and potted in January, will flower under glass in Western Oregon, with no supplementary lighting and at moderate greenhouse temperatures, in an average of 75 to 85 days. The clone possesses to a high degree the desirable characteristics of hybrid vigor, great hardiness and disease resistance, its large flowers being produced on a single stalk. The clone is a virorous, good grower, and a good propagator as observed at Sandy, Oreg.
My new variety of lily plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing, which shows the upper end of a typical stem with a bud and three-quarter view of the flower in full bloom, the colors shown being as close to those herein specified as is reasonably possible to obtain by conventional photographic procedures.
The following is a detailed description of my new variety of Asiatic hybrid lily with nomenclature according to The International Lily Register of The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England (Second Edition, 1969), and with color designations according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society in 1966.

The new variety has more and narrower leaves and is more reliable and uniform in its forcing performance.
