Definitions

  • My invention relates to improvements in poinsettias of the kind which is commonly known as the oak leaf type.
  • the principal novel characteristic of the new poinsettia is the multiplicity of bracts as compared with the ordinary variety.
  • the plant was produced by taking cuttings from the parent plant and by careful selection and continued cutting from year to year until the plant, as set forth in the accompanying drawing, was perfected.
  • the plant has from three hundred to four hundred bracts to each bloom, and, as shown by the drawing, these bracts are in a compact arrangement which makes them stand out in all directions.
  • the color is of a vivid red, making it strikingly beautiful.
  • foliage is light green in color, long and bro-ad. The edges are slightly scalloped like the oak leaf type and are very thick and heavily veined. The foliage is also tough and the leaves hold onto the stem tenaciously under various conditions.
  • Blooms home 5 The blooms are borne in small clusters, one
  • Petalage The number of bracts about the flower cluster is greatly increased.
