Abstract

A Chrysanthemum plant named Sandy particularly characterized by its flat capitulum form; daisy capitulum type; soft honey-bronze ray floret color; diameter across face of capitulum of from 63 to 73 mm when fully opened; spreading and profile branching pattern; average natural season flower date of August 28 in Salinas, Calif. and September 27 in Hightstown, N.J.; uniform seven week photoperiodic flowering response to short days in photoperiodic controlled flowering programs; and durable, uniform performance.

Description

The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum, botanically known as Dendranthema grandiflora, and referred to by the cultivar name Sandy.
Sandy, identified as 86-48801, was originated by the inventor Cornelis P. VandenBerg from a cross made in a controlled breeding program in Salinas, Calif., in 1986.
The female parent of Sandy was the cultivar identified as Triumph, a bronze decorative disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,995. The male parent of Sandy was the cultivar identified as Allure, a yellow daisy disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,989.
Sandy was discovered and selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross by Cornelis P. VandenBerg in September 1986, in a controlled environment in Salinas, Calif.
The first act of asexual reproduction of Sandy was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were taken from the initial selection in November 1986 in a controlled environment in Salinas, Calif., by technicians working under the supervision of Cornelis P. VandenBerg.
Horticultural examination of controlled flowerings of successive plantings has shown that the unique combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for Sandy are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
Sandy has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and daylength.
The following observations, measurements and comparisons describe plants grown in controlled open areas in Salinas, Calif. and in Hightstown, N.J., and photoperiodic controlled programs conducted in Salinas, Calif. Rooted cuttings were established in soil and maintained outdoors under the natural temperature and daylength prevailing during June through October. Single pinching was practiced with all branches and buds retained.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of Sandy, which, in combination, distinguish this Chrysanthemum as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Flat capitulum form.
2. Daisy capitulum type.
3. Soft honey-bronze ray floret color.
4. Diameter across face of capitulum of 63-67 mm when fully opened.
5. Spreading and prolific branching pattern, with 7-8 branches after pinch two weeks after planting a rooted cutting in Hightstown, N.J.
6. Average natural season flower date of August 28 in Salinas, Calif., and September 27 in Hightstown, N.J., based on several years of trial flowering.
7. Uniform seven week photoperiodic flowering response to short days in photoperiodic controlled flowering programs.
8. Durable, uniform performance.
The accompanying photographic drawings show typical inflorescence and leaf characteristics of Sandy, with the colors being as nearly true as possible with illustrations of this type.
Sheet 1 is a color photograph of Sandy grown as pinched spray pot mum in a 15 cm pot.
Sheet 2 is a black and white photograph of three views of the inflorescence of Sandy.
Sheet 3 is a black and white photograph showing the upper and under sides of the leaves of Sandy at three stages of development (mature, intermediate and immature).
Of the commercial garden mum cultivars known to the inventor, the most similar in comparison to Sandy is the cultivar identified as Wolverine, an orange-bronze spoon tipped daisy disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,312. Reference is made to attached Chart A, which compares certain characteristics of Sandy to the same characteristics of Wolverine.
Similar traits are diameter across face of capitulum, controlled response, and what could be described generally as a bronze flower color. However, Sandy is a soft honey-bronze, with a daisy capitulum type, while Wolverine is an orange-bronze, with a spoon-tipped daisy capitulum type. Sandy is therefore a very distinctive new cultivar. Sandy has a more spreading and prolific branching pattern, and an earlier natural season flower date in New Jersey than Wolverine.
In the following description color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart. The exact floret color of Sandy is not represented in The R.H.S. Colour Chart, and the color values given are those closest to the actual color of Sandy. The color values were determined on plant material grown in a controlled greenhouse environment in Salinas, Calif. on Sep. 19, 1989.
