Abstract: A new and distinct lily cultivar of the Parkmanni type Oriental hybrid, particularly distinguished by its large light pink outwardly facing flowers, having slightly recurved petals with numerous reddish spots on the inner half of the petal length, on each side of the inner portion of the mid-rib, the flowers being borne in a raceme arrangement each on a long strong outwardly projecting pedicel; and the plant having dark green and relatively disease-resistant foliage.
Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Oriental Hybrid lily plant of the Parkmanni type, particularly distinguished by its large 6 to 8 white, slightly down-facing, bow-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 dark glossy green and relatively disease-resistant foliage.
Abstract: A new and distinct variety of lily plant of the Parkmanni type Oriental Hybrid, particularly distinguished by its large, generally pink outwardly facing flowers with white edged, recurved petals each having a dark, more red mid-rib extending from the base almost to the tip. The flowers on this plant are borne in a raceme arrangement on tall, strong stems and long, outwardly projecting pedicels, usually with one bud or flower on each pedicel. This plant also has dark green and relatively disease-resistant foliage as observed where lily diseases do occur.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing shucked scallops by cleaning the viscera from the edible muscle. The muscles and attached viscera are placed upon the upper surfaces of a series of parallel rollers forming an inclined path. At least one scallop contact assembly is mounted above the upper surfaces of the parallel rollers for displacement longitudinally of the inclined path and serves to displace and level the scallops upon the rollers and to urge the scallops into the nips or valleys between adjacent rollers such that the driven rollers grip the viscera and remove it from the muscles. A fluid spray arrangement and the contact assembly controls the advancement of the scallops down the inclined path. .Iadd.
