Patent number: PP6556Abstract: A new variety of hybrid lily plant bearing large clusters of flowers each of which is particularly characterized by its starry form with fluted tepal margins and a unique yellow/white/yellow color pattern, wherein the yellow appears as a flush at the central base portion of each tepal which is generally of an unmarked white color, the yellow color also appears at the tips of the tepals and on the edges of the tepal margins, and the flowers are 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 highly resistant to disease and shows high tolerance of virus, making it an excellent garden plant, and its bulbs may be precooled and forced for cut flower production producing a vigorous clone that is a good grower and propagator.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 1987Date of Patent: January 24, 1989Assignee: Melridge, Inc.Inventor: Edward A. McRae

Patent number: PP6573Abstract: A new variety of hybrid lily plant bearing large clusters of flowers particularly characterized by their vivid orange to orange-red coloration and their comparatively inconspicuous spots, the flowers being of medium size, excellent form and borne with an upright orientation. The plant itself is of short stature with moderately long and full leaves which, with its upright prolific flower production, makes it especially suitable as a pot plant variety; its color pattern and silhouette being completely new in the upright Asiatic divisions of lilies suited to forcing and to mass commercial cultivation. The plant is also highly resistant to disease and shows a high tolerance of virus, making it an excellent garden plant, and its bulbs may be precooled and forced throughout the year for pot plant production.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 1987Date of Patent: January 31, 1989Assignee: Melridge, Inc.Inventor: Edward A. McRae
