CHRYSANTHEMUM PLANT (ST. MORITZ) Filed Aug. 10, 1972 3,536 CHRYSANTHEMUM PLANT Leonard H. Shoesmith, Westfield-Woking, England, assignor to Pan-American Plant Company, Chicago, Ill. Filed Aug. 10, 1972, Ser. No. 279,513 Int. Cl. A01h 5/00 U.S. Cl. Plt.77 1 Claim ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT This new variety of white chrysanthemum originated as a seedling of unknown parentage growing among a stock of greenhouse plants maintained under my direction at West Chicago, 111., for use by me in the course of an extensive breeding program carried on with the object of producing new and improved varieties of chrysanthemum for the commercial market. This plant was discovered by me in November 1968 and was selected for propagation and trial because of its sturdy and vigorous growth and its production of very lovely pure white flowers of relatively large semi-globular form. Asexual propagation of this new plant under my direction at West Chicago, 111., by means of cuttings, and subsequent trial has proved this varety to be capable of year around flowering, under photoperiod control, with a uniform nine-week response. Continued propagation of this new plant, by vegetative cuttings, at West Chicago, Ill., and at Cortez, Fla., has demonstrated that the distinctive characteristics of the original plant are firmly fixed and hold true for all succeeding asexually propagated generations of this new chrysanthemum variety.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING My new chrysanthemum variety is illustrated by the accompanying drawing which shows the form and color characteristics of the flowers by means of conventional photographic procedures and which shows the configuration of typical leaves of this variety, by means of pen-andink drawings.
