Abstract
A new chrysanthemum distinguished by its vivid dark red composite flowers of medium-large size which are borne in a cyme having eight to ten open blooms on a rigid and erect stem. The foliage is large and abundant and the flower color is excellent in hot weather, which makes this plant a very fine red chrysanthemum for year around flowering, and the peduncles are long enough for cutting out individual flowers for various special uses.
Description
This new chrysanthemum was found by me in 1974 as a seedling of unknown parentage growing among greenhouse plants being raised for breeding purposes at West Chicago, Ill., U.S.A. The growth of this plant and the vivid red color of its profusely produced flowers caused it to be selected by me for propagation and test, which was done under my direction by means of cuttings at West Chicago, Ill. Propagation of this new plant through successive generations has demonstrated that its distinctive characteristics hold true from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed. This new plant is now being propagated by means of cuttings for commercial marketing at West Chicago, Ill.
My new cultivar of chrysanthemum is illustrated by the accompanying two sheets of drawings, the first of which is a photographic rendition showing the inflorescence and foliage of the plant in full bloom, the photograph having been hand painted to show the true flower colors. The second sheet of the drawings is a print of a machine made copy of typical leaves of this new plant taken at several stages of maturity.
The following is a detailed description of my new chrysanthemum based upon observations of greenhouse grown plants made at West Chicago, Ill., in 1978. The color designations are according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England.
