Chrysanthemum plant named `Chakuse`

Abstract

A new and distinct Chrysanthemum cultivar named `Chakuse` is provided. The new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program. Attractive double bright yellow blossoms of the spider type are formed in profusion (as illustrated). The response period of the flowers is approximately eight and one-half weeks. Recurrent flower production throughout the year is possible. The plant possesses strong stems, forms attractive leaves, and commonly assumes a height of only approximately 25 to 30 cm. The new cultivar is particularly suited for use in the production of a decorative pot Chrysanthemum. No growth regulator is required to achieve the short plant height.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named `Chakuse`, substantially as herein shown and described, which (a) exhibits in profusion attractive double bright yellow spider blossoms with upright petals,   (b) exhibits a flower response period of approximately eight and one-half weeks,   (c) is highly amenable to branching by pinching,   (d) achieves a short plant height, and   (e) is particularly suited for pot mum production on a recurrent basis throughtout the year.
