Abstract: A surgical-type glove and illuminator assembly particularly adapted for use by health care professionals when examining or operating upon an anatomical part of a patient. A spotlighting illuminator is securely mounted on the fingers portion of the glove and oriented to project a light beam distally of the glove toward the work surface when the glove is in use. The illuminator may have a self-contained light source, or utilize fiber optic-transmitted light from a light source remote from the glove.

Abstract: A new variety of asiatic lily hybrid having medium sized flowers of the chalice type particularly distinguished by the generally overall chartreuse yellow coloration of its tepals which are lightly brushed with a primrose yellow along the midrib of the inner one-third of the tepal body and on its margins, the flowers being produced profusely in a cluster on a strong, upright stem at a height of about 40 cm. above the base of the plant. This plant flowers annually during mid-season, but a very consistant crop can be produced throughout the year by forcing.
