Abstract

A new button type chrysanthemum cultivar distinguished by its profuse production of small, pom pom shaped flowers of a light bronze color, its capability for year around production with an eight-week response, in small 4 to 41/2 inch pots, and its adaptability as an excellent garden mum capable of a beautiful display of color in the Fall.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
This new chrysanthemum was discovered by me at West Chicago, Ill., as a seedling of unknown parentage growing in a field of miscellaneous seedlings planted with the object of finding new varieties of unusual characteristics suitable for the commercial market. This plant was selected because of its profuse production of flowers having a unique light bronze color and asexual propagation of this plant under my direction at West Chicago, Ill., through successive generations, has demonstrated that the novel characteristics of this plant hold true and appear to be firmly fixed. Commercial production of this new plant by means of cuttings is now being carried on at West Chicago, Ill., and at Parrish, Fla.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
This new chrysanthemum cultivar is illustrated by the accompanying drawings, of which sheet 1 is a full color photographic view showing a field of this plant in full bloom; sheet 2 is a photographic close-up face view of flowers of this plant which has been hand painted to show the true colors of the blooms; sheet 3 is a machine copy of typical leaves of this new variety showing the top side of the leaves; and sheet 4 is a machine copy of the said leaves showing the bottom or back side of the leaves.
