Definitions
- Thepresent invention relates to a new and distinct variety of poinsettia, originating as a sport.
- the ancestors of the present discovery originated from a wild free-nature and insignificant shrub, known botanically by the name Euphorbia pulcherrima, which was found in the wilds of the Republic of Mexico, and exported to the United States by General Joel Robert Poinsett, who at that time, was the first United States Minister to Mexico.
- Some of said plants were received by Robert Buist of Philadelphia, Pa., U. S. A,. who improved and further developed them, and named them Euphorbia poinsettia, in honor of the said discoverer.
- the stems are long, stiff, and very strong, and are comparatively small in cross section. Their 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.
- Petioles Leaves The leaves are abundant, large and very attrac tive in appearance. They are ovate and very prominently pinnatifid, the latter being acuminate. Their color is variegated, having a mottled J appearance on the upper side of the leaves, of a Grape Green (Plate XLI) with light portions of Sulphur Yellow (Plate V).
- each peduncle usually presents three short and comparatively large heavy stem-like knobs, which protrude upward and expansively 25 apart, each of which latter carries a flower of a Pale Greenish Yellow color, corresponding to the color of the knobs and which is substantially as that shown on Plate V, but prior to maturity is almost white.
- Each of said flowers usually con- 30 tains three ovules which, if properly impregnated, will germinate a new poinsettia.
- the nine to twelve flowers are very small and are surrounded by the bracts, and they are a Pale Greenish Yellow Plate V, which prior to matur- 35 ity are almost white.
- Each flower usually develops three seeds and the seed pods are each about 4-inch in diameter.
- the total height of the plant at maturity is approximately eight feet, and the greatest lateral dimension is approximately five feet. 55
- 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 Novem ber, retaining 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.
