ABSTRACT:
The subject invention concerns a process for the expeditious production of members of the Lilium genus. Using the procedures described here, it is possible to produce Lilium bulbs of forcing size in less than a one-year period. Specifically, young plants are grown in a vegetative, not reproductive, state in order to produce a large bulb in only about 10 months. The young plants are obtained from pathogen-free mother plants using tissue culture techniques. Virus-free production zones can be used to ensure pathogen-free plants.
