Abstract

A new variety of chrysanthemum producing red flowers.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The Present invention is directed to a new and distinct variety of chrysanthemum botonically classified as Dendranthema grandiflora. The varietal denomination of the new chrysanthemum is `Red About Time`.
The new variety was discovered as a natural single branch sport in a cultivated planting of the variety `About Time` (unpatented). The new variety has been asexually reproduced by vegetative cuttings in Ventura County, Calif. and the distinguishing characteristics are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`Red About Time` is pot type chrysanthemum plant variety that produces red flowers with flat capitulum form and abundant dark green foliage.
COMPARISON WITH PARENT
Flowers of the new variety are red and flowers of the parent `About Time` are coral pink.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATION
The accompanying photograph shows a typical specimen of the new variety with colors being as nearly true as possible with illustrations of this type.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
The following description of the new variety is of specimens grown in a greenhouse in Ventura County, Calif. in the month of April. `Red About Time` has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in the environment such as temperature, light intensity, day length and cultural conditions. The color designations herein are from The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms are used.
To produce a commercial product the plants may be pinched once about ten days after planting. It has been observed that the shelf life of `Red About Time` is about 20 days with the response time of about 8.5 weeks. One treatment with growth regulator B9 at 2500 ppm is useful. Desirable growing conditions include average night temperatures of about 18° to 20° C., and day temperature of about 20° to 30°C. The plants described were given one application of growth regulator B-9 at a rate of 1500 ppm.
