Definitions

  • This new chrysanthemum cultivar originated as a seedling of unknown parentage grown in greenhouse at West Chicago, Ill., from seeds selected by me from plants growing in a field of randomly-hybridized chrysanthemum varieties produced with the object of discovering plants of unusual character and color and having commercial market merit. This plant was selected for propagation and test because of its clear bright yellow color and large blooms borne on tall, strong stems. Propagation of this plant through successive generations, by means of cuttings, at West Chicago, Ill., has shown the novel characteristics of this cultivar to hold true from generation to generation and to appear to be firmly fixed. Commercial production of this variety, by cuttings, is now being done at Parrish, Fla.
  • Height Tall; variable from 3 to 6 feet.
  • Leaf shape --Ovate with cleft margins.
  • Size Variable in both diameter and length.
  • Opening rate Varies with temperature.
  • Blooming characteristics 9-week response at any time of the year.
  • Form A completely double composite inflorescence borne on a receptacle surrounded by an involucre of bracts.
  • Petalage Many ray and disc florets.
  • Fragrance Typical chrysanthemum.
  • Stamens 5 in number in syngenesious arrangement.
  • This plant is an incurved standard chrysanthemum for year round flowering and is particularly distinguished by its bright, clear yellow coloration. It is a vigorous plant with long, strong stems and has a subsantially uniform nine-week response which allows it to be grown with the "Bounties” but its color and excellent incurve form are improvements on "Golden Bounty” (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,482).

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
This new chrysanthemum cultivar originated as a seedling of unknown parentage grown in greenhouse at West Chicago, Ill., from seeds selected by me from plants growing in a field of randomly-hybridized chrysanthemum varieties produced with the object of discovering plants of unusual character and color and having commercial market merit. This plant was selected for propagation and test because of its clear bright yellow color and large blooms borne on tall, strong stems. Propagation of this plant through successive generations, by means of cuttings, at West Chicago, Ill., has shown the novel characteristics of this cultivar to hold true from generation to generation and to appear to be firmly fixed. Commercial production of this variety, by cuttings, is now being done at Parrish, Fla.
