Description
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum morifolium, Ramat., hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Volunteer.
Volunteer is a product of a planned breeding program which had the objective of creating new Chrysanthemum cultivars having the characteristics of free branching, compact growth habit, anemone flower type, clear white ray floret color with yellow-green disc florets, and suitability for production in 41/2 pots or as a garden mum. Such traits in combinataion were not present or needed improvement in previously available commercial cultivars.
Volunteer was originated from a hybridization made in a controlled breeding program in Westfield-Woking, England by Leonard H. Shoesmith in 1980. The male and female parents are unknown at this time. Volunteer was discovered and selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated parentage by Leonard H. Shoesmith in November 1981 in a controlled environment in Parrish, Fla.
The first act of asexual reproduction of Volunteer was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were taken from the initial selection in February 1982 in a controlled environment in Parrish, Fla. by a technician working under formulations established and supervised by Leonard H. Shoesmith. Horticultural examination of selected units initiated in April 1982 has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for Volunteer are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
Volunteer has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and day length. The following observations, measurements and comparisons describe plants grown in Parrish, Fla. under greenhouse conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of Volunteer, which in combination distinguish this Chrysanthemum as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Clear white ray florets surrounding a yellow anemone type disc.
2. Approximately 42 ray florets per capitulum.
3. Mature capitulum is 50-55 mm in diameter.
4. Individual ray florets approximately 24 mm long×6 mm wide.
5. 81/2 week flowering response.
6. Compact, freely branching growth habit, suitable for production in 41/2" pots or as a garden variety.
7. Anemone disc florets are yellow-green when immature, changing to yellow when mature.
The accompanying photographic drawing shows in perspective view typical inflorescence and foliage characteristics of Volunteer. The photograph is in black and white, with the white ray florets closely corresponding in color to the actual white ray floret color. Several disc florets have been colored to depict immature and mature disc floret color.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart. The color values were determined at approximately 2:00 p.m. in September 1986 under fluorescent light at Parrish, Fla.
