Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
This new chrysanthemum was observed in July 1975 in a field of the standard chrysanthemum variety Dignity growing at Kirkwood, Mo., and was selected for propagation and test because of its early response compared with the Dignity plants with which it was growing.
Year around flowering of plants propagated at Kirkwood, Mo., by cuttings from the original plant and clones thereof has demonstrated that the distinctive characteristics of this new plant hold true from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed. This new plant has been and is now being propagated by vegetative cuttings at Kirkwood, Mo., West Chicago, Ill., and at Cortez, Fla., and its distinctive characteristics continue to hold true.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
This new chrysanthemum plant is illustrated by the accompanying drawings in which sheet one shows two views comparing blooms of the new plant and the variety Dignity, both plants having been placed under short day photoperiodic conditions on the same date thus displaying the time difference in bloom development,
FIG. 1 showing the flowers when Dignity was newly opened, the flower at the left being that of the new plant, and
FIG. 2 showing the flowers when the new plant, shown at the right, reached full bloom; and sheet two showing typical leaves of the new plant at three stages of maturity.
FIG. 3, right view, shows the reflexed ray florets of the mature bloom of the instant variety.
