Definitions
- the leaves are long, ovate, and very prominently pinnatifid, the latter being acuminate, similar to that of the leaves of oak trees.
- the upper side of the leaves are waxy, and are of a Danube Green color, similar to that on Plate XXXII; and their under sides are Light Cress Green, shown by Plate ml they retain their green color.
- the leaves are arranged alternately on their stems.
- Bracts are similar to the leaves, except that they are much smaller, are lanceolate in contour, do not protrude outwardly so far, and near their maturity they assume a color entirely different therefrom, which is that their upper or face sides are a Jasper Red, as shown on Plate XIII, and their under sides are a Pale Salmon color, as shown on Plate XIV.
- each peduncle usually presents three short and comparatively large heavy stem-like knobs, which protrude upward and expansively apart, each of which provides the base for a p urality of short stems, each of which latter carries a flower each of which is of a Pal-e Greenis'n Yellow color, which is substantially as that shown on Plate V, which prior to maturity is almost white.
- Each of said flowers usually contains three ovules which, if properly impregnated,
- the nine to average length is four feet, with many small branches at the top, usually growing from three knob-like branches. Each branch bears several bracts and a few flowers.
- the total height of the plant, at maturity, is eight feet, and the greatest lateral dimension is two feet.
- Planting I have found by experience that if a cutting is taken and planted at any time from May until September, that the plant will mature in November, after which it will retain its beauty for two months, after which it will remain dormant for about three months; however the above estimate is subject to variations, depending on the climate and other conditions. It can be grown successfully anywhere in the United States and Canada, in greenhouses kept at the proper temperature, but outdoors only in frost-free sections.
- a new and distinct variety of Poinsettia substantially as shown and described, characterized especially by the brightness and beauty of colors, its earliness in maturing and persistency in retaining its beauty for a long period after maturity; the changing, after maturity, of some of the leaves from their normally green color to a bright red color; its ability to mature and bloom in a cool temperature; the large size of the plant and its various parts; and the attractive appearance of the entire whole.
