Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named Sunny Time, characterized by its flat capitulum form; moderately vigorous and compact growth habit; freely branching plant habit; medium decorative-type inflorescences; bright yellow ray florets; and numerous inflorescences per plant.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Dendranthema grandiflora and referred to by the cultivar name Sunny Time.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventory in Havant, Hampshire, United Kingdom. The objective of the breeding program was to create new Chrysanthemum cultivars having a fast flowering response, desirable inflorescence colors, and inflorescences and foliage with good substance.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the inventor of the inventor's proprietary Chrysanthemum selection No. P55-8 as the male or pollen parent with the inventor's proprietary Chrysanthemum selection No. P63-89 as the female or seed parent.
The cultivar Sunny Time was discovered and selected by the inventory as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Havant, Hampshire, United Kingdom.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Havant, Hampshire, United Kingdom, has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of Sunny Time. These characteristics in combination distinguish Sunny Time as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Flat capitulum form.
2. Moderatly vigorous and compact growth habit.
3. Freely branching plant habit.
4. Medium decorative-type inflorescences.
5. Bright yellow ray florets.
6. Numerous inflorescences per plant.
The cultivar Sunny Time has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
In side-by-side comparisons in Havant, Hampshire, United Kingdom, under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum have larger inflorescences, lighter yellow ray floret color, and are earlier to flower than plants of the male parent, the proprietary selection P55-8. In the same comparisons, plants of the new Chrysanthemum have large inflorescences and leaves than plants of the female parent, the proprietary selection P63-89. In addition, the ray floret color of plants of the female parent is white.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are similar to the cultivar Tip (disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,867) in ray floret color. However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted in Oxnard, Calif., under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from plants of the cultivar Tip in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are more compact and have shorter lateral branches than plants of the cultivar Tip.
2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are not as freely branching as plants of the cultivar Tip.
3. Leaves of plants of the new Chrysanthemum are longer than leaves of plants of the cultivar Tip.
4. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have fewer ray florets, but more disc florets per inflorescence than plants of the cultivar Tip.
5. Disc florets are longer on plants of the new chrysanthemum compared to disc florets on plants of the cultivar Tip.
6. The peduncle angle of plants of the new Chrysanthemum is more obtuse than the peduncle angle of plants of the cultivar Tip.
A detailed comparison of plants of the new Chrysanthemum and the cultivar Tip appears in Chart A at the end of the specification.
The accompany colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproduction of this type. The photograph comprises a top perspective view of a typical flowering 16.5-cm container of Sunny Time with five cuttings in the container and the terminal inflorescences removed (center-budded pot chrysanthemum).
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Oxnard, Calif., under commercial practive in a glass-covered greenhouse with average night temperatures of 18° C., average day temperatures of 30° C., and light levels of 2,000 (cloudy conditions) to 9,000 (sunny conditions) footcandles.
After sticking unrooted cuttings of the new cultivar, plants received 21 long day/short nights followed by short day/long nights until flowering. Four weeks after the start day/long night treatment, plants received one spray application of daminozide growth retardant at a rate of 2500 ppm. Measurements and numerical values represent ranges or averages for six typical flowering plants.
