Abstract
A new variety of Amelanchier laevis is disclosed which is particularly characterized by its trait of achieving maximum floral display prior to the unfolding of its leaves so as to maximize the color display during the blossom period.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Amelanchier believed to be Amelanchier laevis which was found in a cultivated area.
The distinct characteristics of the tree of the present invention is that white flowers unfold before leaves unfold, therefore giving a better flower display than other varieties of Amelanchier laevis in which varieties the leaves unfold prior to or simultaneous with the flowers. The leaves of the new variety are glabrous on the underside, bronze in coloration, and do not have hairs.
Asexual reproduction of the new variety was accomplished by tissue culture of new bud cells, and showed that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
The accompanying drawing shows a typical tree specimen of the new variety, together with typical foliage and flower specimens on a larger scale.
The following is a detailed description of the new variety, with color terminology in accordance with the Inter-Society Color Council -- National Bureau of Standards, Circular 553, Color Chart, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are obvious.
