Abstract
{PG,1 A new variety of kalanchoe plant most suitable for greenhouse culture as a pot plant and capable of year around flowering under photoperiod control conditions, characterized by its intense red florets which range from about 10 to 12 mm. in diameter, a uniform 10-week flowering response, a medium plant height with medium sized, glossy foliage, and an extended blooming period due to several weeks of continuous flower bud development.
Description
This new variety of kalanchoe originated as a seedling which resulted from my crossing Swiss Rose (unpatented) with Red Empress (unpatented) in the course of breeding efforts carried on by me at Cartago, Costa Rica, since 1969 with the object of producing new varieties of kalanchoe plants suitable for the potted plant market. This plant was selected by me for propagation because of the intense color of its flowers and asexual reproduction by cuttings from the original plant and subsequent propagation of the cultivar carried on by me through successive generations, by means of vegetative cuttings, at Cartago, Costa Rica, has demonstrated that the distinctive characteristics of the original plant hold true from generation to generation and appear to be fixed.
Propagation of this kalanchoe cultivar is now being done at West Chicago, Ill., and at Cortez, Fla., U.S.A., for the commercial market.
This new cultivar of kalanchoe is illustrated by the accompanying full color photographic drawing which shows a potted plant of the new variety in full bloom, the color rendition being as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to obtain by conventional professional photographic procedures.
The following is a detailed description of my new kalanchoe plant with color designations according to the R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England, in collaboration with the British Colour Council.
