Definitions
- This new cultivar of chrysanthemum originated as a seedling of unidentified parentage grown from seeds of random pollinated plants produced in greenhouse at Westfield-Woking, Surrey, England. This plant was discovered by me in October 1973 and because of its beauty was reproduced by cuttings for test purposes. Propagation through successive generations in greenhouse at Westfield-Woking, by means of vegetative cuttings, has shown this new plant to have important and commercially advantageous characteristics which hold true from generation to generation and which appear to be firmly fixed. This new plant is now being asexually propagated on a commercial scale at West Chicago, Ill., and at Cortez, Fla.
- Branching Normal, under natural conditions.
- Foliage Quantity -- Abundant with 6 to 8 leaves on about 10 cm. of stem.
- Peduncle Length -- about 4 to 16 mm.
- Shape when bloom first opens. Becomes generally hemispherical as bloom matures.
- Peduncle Character -- sturdy and upright.
- Fragrance Typical chrysanthemum.
- Lasting quality On plant -- about 3 weeks. Not recommended for cut flower use.
- Pistils Number -- one for each ray and disc floret.
- Ovaries Inferior bicarpellate.
- This cultivar of pot chrysanthemum is characterized by its white blooms with light cream centers and its decorative flower form, the size of its blooms which are about 10.5 to 11.3 cm. in diameter when grown as a disbud pot, and its firm ray florets which possess good shelf life.
- This variety is also characterized by its upright plant habit and its breaking ability, which averages 3 to 31/2 breaks when manually pinched, its durable foliage and strong stems. This plant flowers 9 weeks after start of short-day treatment and performs well when flowered year around on tall treatment.

Abstract
A new pot chrysanthemum cultivar distinguished by its large white blooms having light cream centers and its decorative flower form with firm ray florets which have good shelf life, and by its upright plant habit with durable foliage and strong stems providing a plant which performs well when flowered year around on tall treatment.
Description
This new cultivar of chrysanthemum originated as a seedling of unidentified parentage grown from seeds of random pollinated plants produced in greenhouse at Westfield-Woking, Surrey, England. This plant was discovered by me in October 1973 and because of its beauty was reproduced by cuttings for test purposes. Propagation through successive generations in greenhouse at Westfield-Woking, by means of vegetative cuttings, has shown this new plant to have important and commercially advantageous characteristics which hold true from generation to generation and which appear to be firmly fixed. This new plant is now being asexually propagated on a commercial scale at West Chicago, Ill., and at Cortez, Fla.
This new chrysanthemum cultivar is illustrated by the accompanying drawings, the first sheet of which shows the form and color of blooms by means of conventional photographic procedures and the second of which, by mechanical reproduction of photocopies, shows the form of typical leaves of the plant.
The following is a detailed description of this new chrysanthemum variety, as observed in April and May in greenhouse at West Chicago, Ill., with the color designations being according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England.
