Chrysanthemum plant -- Yellow Impala cultivar

Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named Yellow Impala is provided. The new cultivar is a spontaneous mutation of the Cream Impala cultivar (non-patented in the United States). More specifically, the new cultivar forms attractive yellow single flowers having a yellow-green center when immature. The response period of the flowers is approximately nine weeks. The new cultivar is particularly suited for use in the production of a cut single spray under greenhouse conditions.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named Yellow Impala, substantially as herein shown and described, which: (a) exhibits attractive yellow single flowers having an overall diameter of 70 to 80 mm. wherein the disc florets are yellow-green in coloration when immature,   (b) exhibits a flower response period of approximately nine weeks, and   (c) has the ability to produce flowers of commercially acceptable quality throughout the year in a cut mum production program.
