| Claim: |
I claim:
1. A new and distinct variety of Chrysanthemum plant as described and illustrated. |
| Description: |
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant which is a natural occurring sport of a parent Chrysanthemum named Reagan. Parent Chrysanthemum Reagan is described in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,642. The newcultivar was discovered as a whole plant mutation in 1991 in a greenhouse in Holland. Other naturally occurring mutations of `Reagan` for which U. S. Plant Patent protection is being sought include the cultivar `Dark Red Reagan` (copending plant patentapplication Ser. No. 08/642,905) and `Sunny Reagan` (copending plant patent application Ser. No. (08/642,904).
The invention has been asexually reproduced by cuttings at the same location. The new cultivar has been found to retain all of its distinctive characteristics through successive asexual propagations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is a new and distinct variety of Chrysanthemum of a medium sized bloom and purple color.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The present invention of a new and distinct variety of Chrysanthemum is shown in the accompanying drawings, the color being as nearly true as possible with color photographs of this type.
FIG. 1 shows the full bloom of the new cultivar.
FIG. 2 shows the various stages of bloom of the new cultivar.
FIG. 3 shows foliage and petiole of the new cultivar.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
This new variety of Chrysanthemum is of the botanical classification Chrysanthemum morifolium. When grown in the vicinity of Ter Aar, Holland, it has a response time of approximately 71/2 weeks. This new variety produces medium sized purpleblooms with a yellow-green center having a 4 week performance (i.e., vase life of 24-28 days). This new variety of Chrysanthemum has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics throughout successive propagations and may be planted undergreenhouse conditions in Holland between weeks 50 and 35.
The following is a description of the plant and characteristics (color designations are from R.H.S. Color Chart) that distinguish it from related known varieties and its antecedents: The color designations are taken from the plant itself. Accordingly, any discrepancies between the color designations and the colors depicted in the photographs are due to photographic tolerances.
