Abstract

A new variety of chrysanthemum plant of the spray type characterized by its medium sized blooms of a daisy form which have three to four rows of purple-pink ray florets, by its uniform year around 8 to 9 week response, and by its production of 8 to 13 fully developed flowers on each terminal stem.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
My new variety of chrysanthemum was discovered by me at Westfield-Woking, Surrey, England, in 1972 as a seedling of unidentified parentage growing among stock greenhouse plants maintained by me for breeding purposes. The dark pink coloring of its daisy formed flowers and the many flowers borne on a strong, tall terminal stem caused me to select this plant for trial and my propagation of this plant at Westfield-Woking by means of cuttings from the original plant and subsequently by vegetative cuttings from the resulting clone demonstrated to me that the novel characteristics of the new plant appeared to be firmly fixed and to hold true from generation to generation.
As a result of my work with this new plant, its propagation by vegetative cuttings is now being done at West Chicago, Ill., and at Cortez, Fla., and my original observations of the distinctive characteristics of the plant have been found to be retained from generation to generation at each location.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
This new chrysanthemum plant is illustrated by the accompanying drawings, the first of which is a full color photographic print showing a flowering stem of the new plant with buds, foliage and fully opened flowers, the view having been selected to show the manner in which the flowers are carried on the main stem. The colors shown are as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to obtain by conventional photographic procedures, the plant shown being one flowered at West Chicago, Ill., in Sept. 1976. The second sheet of drawings is a mechanical reproduction of a photocopy of typical leaves of the new plant taken from a single flowering stem to show the leaves at several stages of maturity.
