Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named `Empire Amigo`, characterized by its semi-upright and mounding plant habit; daisy-type inflorescences that are about 5 to 5.5 cm in diameter; numerous attractive red purple ray florets; numerous inflorescences per plant; early flowering response; and excellent garden performance.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Dendranthema grandiflora and referred to by the cultivar name Empire Amigo.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in New Hartford, N.Y. The objective of the breeding program is to create new garden-type Chrysanthemum cultivars having inflorescences with desirable inflorescence forms and floret colors and good garden performance.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the Inventor in 1995, of the Dendranthema grandiflora cultivar Empire Crown Jewel, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,738, as the female, or seed, parent with an proprietary seedling selection identified as C87-127 as the male, or pollen, parent, described as a purple daisy-type garden Chrysanthemum.
The cultivar Empire Amigo was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in New Hartford, N.Y., in September, 1996. The selection of this plant was based on its desirable inflorescence form and floret colors and excellent garden performance.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken in a controlled environment in New Hartford, N.Y., since October, 1996, has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Empire Amigo has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Empire Amigo`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Empire Amigo` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Semi-upright and mounding plant habit.
2. Daisy-type inflorescences that are about 5 to 5.5 cm in diameter.
3. Numerous attractive red purple ray florets.
4. Numerous inflorescence per plant.
5. Early flowering response.
6. Excellent garden performance.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are similar in ray floret color to plants of the female parent, the cultivar Empire Crown Jewel. However in side-by-side comparisons in New Hartford, N.Y., under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum were more upright and flowered about 10 days earlier under natural season flowering conditions than plants of the cultivar Empire Crown Jewel.
The accompanying photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new cultivar. The photograph a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of `Empire Amigo`. This photograph shows the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Floret and foliage colors in the photograph may differ from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe plants grown in 20-cm containers in New Hartford, N.Y., under outdoor natural season conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial garden Chrysanthemum production. Measurements and comparisons were determined on Sep. 18, 1998 about mid-day under 4,000 foot-candles of light in New Hartford, N.Y.
