  • This new chrysanthemum cultivar originated as a sport of the variety "Westland” (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,589) and was produced by me by radiation breeding at De Lier, Holland, in 1977. I reproduced this plant by means of cuttings of the original plant at De Lier, Holland, and found that it retained substantially all of the characteristics of its parent, except flower color.

Abstract

A new and distinct chrysanthemum for glasshouse culture to produce cut flowers and pot plants, distinguished in particular, by the yellow coloration of its medium sized blooms, its vigorous and upright growth habit, and its year around flowering capability in response to photoperiod control. The title of this application is the European denomination for this variety. In the United States, this variety is marketed as "Westland Yellow".

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
This new chrysanthemum cultivar originated as a sport of the variety "Westland" (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,589) and was produced by me by radiation breeding at De Lier, Holland, in 1977. I reproduced this plant by means of cuttings of the original plant at De Lier, Holland, and found that it retained substantially all of the characteristics of its parent, except flower color. Subsequent propagation of this new plant by cuttings and through successive generations has demonstrated that its distinctive features hold true and appear to be firmly fixed. Commercial scale propagation of this variety is now being done by cuttings at Cortez, Fla., and at West Chicago, Ill., as well as at De Lier, Holland.
