Abstract

A new and distinct pink daisy chrysanthemum having a vigorous and rapid growth habit and a profuse production of relatively large blooms. This new plant is particularly suitable for year around production of cut flowers with a rapid eight-week response that is one week earlier than the "Marbles" and a good spray formation which does not compound as the "Marbles" does.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
This new daisy-type chrysanthemum was discovered by me in 1976 as a seedling of unknown parentage growing in a field of miscellaneous chrysanthemum plants cultivated in greenhouse at West Chicago, Ill., with the object of finding unusual and interesting varieties suitable for commercial production. This new plant was propagated at West Chicago, Ill., under my direction, by means of cuttings, and such propagation was carried through successive generations to determine the continuity of its distinctive features and its suitability for commercial scale propagation. Several years of propagation of this new plant, by cuttings at West Chicago, Ill., and at Cortez and Parrish, Fla., has demonstrated that its novel features hold true from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
This new type chrysanthemum is illustrated by the accompanying drawings, of which sheet one is a full color photographic view showing several stems of the new plant in full bloom illustrating the nature of the plant form and its blooms; sheet two is a photographic print of a close-up view of several flowers of this plant hand-painted to show their true coloration; sheet three is a machine print of a photocopy showing the top or front side of leaves of this new plant; and sheet four is a similar print showing the bottom or back side of the leaves shown in sheet three.
