Abstract

A ranunculus plant having bright red blossoms borne on long, straight stems.

Description

The present invention relates to a new variety of Ranunculus asiaticus called Fever which the inventor has produced in the course of his studies and research aimed at finding new products capable of increasing the profits of horticulturists, either by readier sales of the flowers, or by greater productivity of the plants.
The new variety which is the object of the present invention is different from all other ranunculus known heretofore, and constitutes, with respect to the latter, an improvement, either by the shape and the color of the flower, or by the very high productivity of the plants.
The new variety which is the object of the present invention has been obtained by artificially fertilizing flowers of the known commercial variety called "BARBAROUX", with red flowers, with pollen of the variety "PINK PERFECTION", with pink flowers. From the mother variety "BARBAROUX", the new variety has taken much of its color, which is however brighter than that of the mother variety, by reason of the larger dimensions of the corollas. From the father variety, "PINK PERFECTION", the new variety has taken the vegetative carriage, resulting in plants that are very tall and slender and very productive in cut flowers.
As a result, the new variety constitutes a new product adapted to be commercially cultured for the production of cut flowers for market.
The new variety which is the object of the present invention may be easily reproduced in any number of offspring which are altogether identical with the original plant, by means of division of the tuberous roots which each plant naturally produces, and by then cultivating them either in the open air or under glass.
The plant described in the description which follows has been cultivated under glass, planted in the months of August-September, and described as of the month of December. One must always refer to these conditions of season and culture, each time it is desired to compare the plant with the present description. Ultimate differences which, by reason of different climate or culture conditions, may arise between certain characteristics of the plant and the corresponding characteristics of the description, should be considered as normal and do not modify the essence of the present invention, the less so because it is possible to identify the plant by means of the totality of the characteristics given in the description.
The identification of the colors of the description was made in accordance with the tables of the "Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart" of London (indicated in the text by the initials R.H.S., followed by the number of the table).
