Chrysanthemum plant -- Majoor Bosshardt cultivar

Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named Majoor Bosshardt is provided. The new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein an unnamed plant designated 83.660 was pollinated by the Daymark cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,240). More specifically, the new cultivar forms attractive large white anemone-centered flowers having white ray florets and a green center when immature. The inflorescence tends to be pyramidal in configuration. The response period of the flowers is approximately eight weeks. The new cultivar is particularly suited for use in the production of a cut anemone spray under greenhouse conditions.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named Majoor Bosshardt, substantially as herein shown and described, which: (a) exhibits attractive relatively large anemone-centered flowers having an overall diameter of approximately 60 to 65 mm. wherein the ray florets are white and the flower center comprising the disc florets is green in coloration when immature,   (b) bears flowers in a somewhat pyramidal configuration,   (c) exhibits a flower response period of approximately eight weeks,   (d) forms dark green foliage, and   (e) has the ability to produce flowers of commercially acceptable quality throughout the year in a cut mum production program.
