Chrysanthemum plant named `Chabaxo`

Abstract

A new and distinct Chrysanthemum cultivar named `Chabaxo` is provided. The new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program. Attractive yellow double blossoms are formed in profusion as a round ball surrounding the plant. Recurrent flower production throughout the year is possible. The response period of the flowers is approximately eight weeks. When using natural flowering production, the resulting flowers from a distance resemble those having a spider form which is attributable to variation in the lengths and configurations of the ray florets. The plant possesses relatively soft stems, forms attractive dark green leaves, and commonly assumes a height of approximately 25 to 30 cm. The bright yellow blossom coloration contrasts nicely with the dark green foliage. The new cultivar is particularly well suited for use in the production of a decorative pot Chrysanthemum. No growth regulator is required to achieve the relatively short plant height.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named `Chabaxo`, substantially as herein shown and described, which: (a) exhibits in profusion attractive decorative double yellow blossoms,   (b) is highly amenable to branching by pinching,   (c) forms attractive foliage,   (d) achieves a short plant height, and   (e) is particularly well suited for flowering as a pot mum on a recurrent basis throughout the year.
