Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
My new variety of pot chrysanthemum originated as a seedling of unknown parentage grown in greenhouse at West Chicago, Ill., from seeds of random pollinated greenhouse plants grown by me in 1971 at my breeding facilities in Westfield-Woking, Surrey, England. This plant was discovered and selected for propagation at West Chicago, Ill., in October 1972 in the course of a development program carried on under my direction for the production of new and improved chrysanthemum varieties for the commercial market.
This new plant was reproduced at West Chicago, Ill., by cuttings from the original plant and subsequent propagation of this new variety through successive generations has shown that not only does this plant have distinctive characteristics of commercial merit, but also that these characteristics hold true from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed.
At present, this new variety of pot chrysanthemum is propagated for commercial purposes, by vegetative cuttings, at West Chicago, Ill., and at Cortez, Fla.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
My new variety of chrysanthemum is illustrated by the accompanying drawings; the first sheet of the drawings is a hand painted drawing showing face views of blooms to show their true colors; and the second sheet is a mechanical reproduction of photocopy prints of typical leaves of this variety illustrating their distinctive characteristics.

This new variety of chrysanthemum is particularly characterized by its medium pink ray florets, of which there are several rows in a single form of bloom. The ray florets are of very good substance and have long life and the blooms, which have minimal pollen, are abundantly produced when grown as a spray pot plant.
This variety is also characterized by its relatively upright pot habit with strong stems and good breaking ability, with 4 to 6 breaks when manually pinched. This variety is not temperature sensitive and can be flowered year around on tall treatment, flowering 9 weeks after beginning of short days.
