Description
My new yellow chrysanthemum originated as a seedling of unknown parentage discovered by me in 1974 while growing in greenhouse at West Chicago, Ill., U.S.A., among a group of similar plants maintained as part of a breeding program begun in 1973. This plant, following my discovery, was selected by me and propagated at West Chicago, Ill., by cuttings from the original plant. Propagation of this new plant through several successive generations has shown that its distinctive characteristics hold true from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed. Commercial scale propagation of this plant is now being carried on at West Chicago, Ill., by means of cuttings.
My new yellow chrysanthemum is illustrated by the accompanying two sheets of drawings, of which the first is a photographic view showing a potted plant in full bloom, the photograph having been hand painted to show the true colors of the flowers; and the second sheet is a print of a photocopy of typical leaves of this variety at several stages of maturity.
The following is a detailed description of my new chrysanthemum plant based upon observations of greenhouse plants made in 1978 at West Chicago, Ill., the color designations being according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England.
