Abstract
An African violet named Improved New Jersey characterized by its uniform and vigorous growth habit; strong upright flower stems each of which carries 7-10 large single pink frilled flowers; intensive flower color which does not fade under high temperature conditions; profuse flowering, with the flowers being long lasting and non-dropping, and by its medium green leaves.
Description
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of African violet plant, botanically known as Saintpaulia ionantha, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar named Improved New Jersey.
The new cultivar was referred to during the breeding and selection process by the designation D 29/11 pink frilled, and is a product of a planned breeding program. Improved New Jersey was originated from a cross made by me in a controlled breeding program in Isselburg, West Germany. The female or seed parent was a cultivar designated B 224/10 pink, and the male or pollen parent was a cultivar designated B 16/6 pink frilled.
The new cultivar Improved New Jersey was discovered and selected by me in 1978 as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Isselburg, West Germany. Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by leaf cuttings, as performed by me at Isselburg, West Germany, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for the new cultivar are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
Improved New Jersey has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The pheno-type may vary significantly with variations in environments such as temperature, light intensity and day length. The following observations, measurements and values describe the new cultivar as grown in Isselburg, West Germany, and Nashville, Tenn., under greenhouse conditions which closely approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of Improved New Jersey, which in combination distinguish the new cultivar both from the cultivar New Jersey, disclosed in my U.S. Pat. No. 4,214, and other african violet cultivars known in the industry:
1. Improved New Jersey has a very uniform and vigorous growth habit.
2. Relatively deep pink single frilled flowers, with the center of the flowers being of relatively deeper pink.
3. The flowers are supported on very upright flower stems which curve to the center, thereby providing a tight bouquet above the leaves.
4. The flowering is profuse, with 7-10 and even more single large frilled flowers being carried on each stem.
5. The pink flower color is intensive and does not fade under high temperature conditions.
6. The flowers are long lasting and non-dropping.
7. The leaves are medium green in color, providing a pleasant contrast with the pink flower color.
The accompanying photographic drawing illustrates a typical specimen plant of Improved New Jersey. The colors appearing in the photograph are as true as possible with color illustrations of this type.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (H.C.C) issued by Wilson Colour Ltd., except where general colors or ordinary significance are referred to, and except for the color of the individual flowers, where the color values are based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.). Color values were taken at approximately 2 P.M. under natural light conditions at Nashville, Tenn.
