Plt.-80 1 Claim The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of pot chrysanthemum plant which is a seedling of parents identified as #63471-2 57346-5. Both parents are unpatented and identified by the above numbers to distinguish the same from other parents in the breeding program.
The new cultivar offers the following unique characteristics to pot chrysanthemum growers:
(l) A beautiful bright lavender pink flower color that fades, but still holds a uniform color during high temperature periods.
(2) A bright, lively color under incandescent lights.
(3) Large cactus-like decorative flowers three to four inches in diameter.
(4) Plants that average 5 breaks per pinched plant.
(5) A spreading habit equal to or greater than the growth type of the well-known Mandalay family.
(6) Deeply indented foliage.
(7) A cultivar that provides an early, fast response thereby making it one of the most efficient varieties to grow from the standpoint of total crop time.
The new cultivar was selected from the progeny of the designated cross, and when asexually reproduced by cuttings at Barberton, Ohio, has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations.
Our new cultivar when grown in the vicinity of Barberton, Ohio, has a response period of approximately 8 weeks, and the following detailed description is based on observations made of the new cultivar in a greenhouse in Barberton, Ohio. The response time, blooming period, color, and total vigor may vary significantly with varying environmental conditions such as temperature, day length, and light intensity.
The following chart outlines the variation in response experienced and the suggested long day treatments for the various seasons, in Barberton, Ohio, with carbon dioxide injected into the greenhouse atmosphere when possible:
