Abstract
A new and unique spray-type chrysanthemum intended for greenhouse culture to produce pot plants and cut flowers, this plant being distinguished by its generally white flowers which have spoon-tipped ray florets, its medium sized blooms which vary in size from 6 to 10 cm. in diameter, and a lasting quality of about four weeks both on the plant and as a cut flower. The title of this application is the European denomination for this variety. In the United States, this variety is marketed as "Westland Snow".
Description
This new variety originated as a spontaneous sport of "Westland" (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,589) and was discovered by me in 1976 at De Lier, Holland, in the course of my breeding work being carried on with the object of producing new chrysanthemum varieties. The unusual character of this plant prompted me to reproduce the plant for test purposes by means of cuttings at De Lier, Holland. Subsequent propagation through successive generations has shown that this cultivar holds its distinguishing characteristics from generation to generation and this novelty appears to be firmly fixed. This variety is now being commercially propagated at West Chicago, Ill., and at Cortez, Fla., as well as De Lier, Holland.
This chrysanthemum cultivar is illustrated by the accompanying drawings, of which sheet 1 is a full color photographic view of a potted plant in full bloom, sheet 2 is a print showing a full face view of a flower of this variety showing its petal form and arrangement, and sheets 3 and 4 are prints of machine copies of the front and back sides, respectively, of typical leaves of this new plant.
The following is a detailed description of my new variety of chrysanthemum based upon observations made at West Chicago, Ill., U.S.A., in the Fall of 1979, with color designations according to the R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England.
