Chrysanthemum plant named Yellow Dramatic

摘要

A Chrysanthemum plant named Yellow Dramatic, discovered as a spontaneous mutation within a flowering block of Dramatic, disclosed in U. S. Plant Pat. No. 3,189. Yellow Dramatic is particularly characterized as to uniqueness by the combined characteristics of flat capitulum form; daisy capitulum type; yellow tinged orange ray floret color; diameter across face of capitulum ranging from 6 to 9 cm. at maturity; uniform nine week photoperiodic flowering response to short days; medium plant height when grown single stem; 8 to 12 cm. peduncles on open, normally terminal sprays; and 13° C. minimum temperature tolerance for initiation and development of flowering buds. Development and retention of the orange carotene as expressed by Dramatic is significantly reduced in all stages of maturation and under all environments tested to date. Yellow Dramatic is similar to Dramatic in all other traits.
