Abstract

This invention relates to a new distinct cultivar of geranium substantially as illustrated and described, characterized as being particularly well adapted to both commercial greenhouse production as well as garden performance, and as being early, floriferous, self-branching, compact, heat-tolerant and low-light-tolerant.

Description

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of geranium Pelargonium×hortorum called `#854-(82-114-7)` and is given the variety name, Juliet. The cultivar is particularly well adapted to both commercial greenhouse production and garden performance. The cultivar is characterized as to novelty as being early, floriferous, self-branching and compact.
The cultivar was developed from an organized, scientifically designed breeding program carried out at the Department of Horticulture, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pa. 16802. The breeding program was designed to create new geranium genotypes with clear, bright colors which combined the flowering ability and compactness of European cultivars with the heat tolerance, low light tolerance and excellent greenhouse production qualities of native cultivars. The pedigree of this cultivar is as follows: ##STR1## The selection was asexually propagated by cuttings and the reproductions ran true.
DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
FIG. 1 illustrates in color the cultivar including foliage and flowers.
FIG. 2 illustrates in color primarily the floret.
With reference to the detailed description of the cultivar which follows, the test plant was grown in a glasshouse under full natural light, at a minimum night temperature of 58° F., and a minimum day temperature of 68° F. Soilless medium was fertilized constantly with 200 ppm N as 15-16-17. Color readings were taken under incandescent light at 200 foot candles and color identification was by reference to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Charts, except where common terms of color definition are employed.
