Abstract
A new cultivar of geranium plant distinguished by flowers that have a delicate pink coloration that intensifies under high temperature and light intensities, the very large size of its inflorescence clusters, and a continuous and abundant flowering habit throughout the year with adequate length of photoperiod. This new plant is more compact and free branching and, because of its greater number of stems and a consistent tendency to produce flowers on a 2-4 node cycle, has a greater flowering potential than its predecessors.
Description
My new geranium plant originated as a seedling of "Skylark" × "Waltztime", both unpatented, the cross having been made by me at Iowa State University at Ames, Iowa, in the course of breeding efforts carried on by me since 1956 with the object of developing improved geranium cultivars having better adaptability to the summer climates of the upper Midwest of the United States, including tolerance to the high summer night temperatures and humidity and a tolerance to Botrytis cinerea infection. This new plant was selected by me for propagation because of the color character of its inflorescence and its apparent fulfillment of my principal objectives and propagation under my direction through successive generations by means of cuttings at the Iowa State University horticultural greenhouses has shown that its distinctive and novel characteristics hold true from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed. Propagation of this new geranium plant for the commercial market is now being done by meristem culture and cuttings at Connellsville, Pa.
My new geranium plant is illustrated by the accompanying full color photograhic drawing which shows a potted plant in full bloom, the colors shown being as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to obtain by conventional commercial photographic procedures.
The following is a detailed description of my new geranium cultivar with color designations according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England, the data having been obtained from observations of the plants of this new cultivar grown in the horticultural greenhouses of Iowa State University at Ames, Iowa.

This geranium is similar in growth habit and cultural requirements to the older cultivars "Waltztime" and "Skylark". The flower color is in the same general color range of those cultivars but differs from them in that the color intensifies under high temperatures and high light intensities. This new plant is more compact and free branching, and because of its greater number of stems and a consistent tendency to produce flowers on a 2-4 node cycle, it has a greater flowering potential than the earlier cultivars.
