Abstract

A Chrysanthemum plant named White Oreo particularly characterized by its flat capitulum form; daisy capitulum type; white ray floret color; diameter across face of capitulum of up to 85 mm at maturity; uniform eight week photoperiodic flowering response to short days; peduncle length ranging from 10 to 15 cm on open, terminal sprays; short plant height when grown as a single stem spray cut mum; and excellent tolerance to low temperatures for bud initiation and flower development.

Description

The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum, botanically known as Dendranthema grandilfora, and referred to by the cultivar name White Oreo.
White Oreo, identified as 83-486D03, is a product of a mutation induction program which had the objective of creating new Chrysanthemum cultivars that would expand the color range of an existing cultivar while retaining all other traits.
White Oreo was discoverd and selected by Cornelis P. VandenBerg on Dec. 18, 1985 in a controlled environment in Salinas, Calif. as one flowering plant within a flowering block established as rooted cuttings from stock plants which had been exposed as unrooted cuttings to an X-ray source of 2000 rads. The irradiated parent was the cultivar identified as Oreo, disclosed in plant patent application Ser. No. 07/173,083, now U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,882.
The first act of asexual reproduction of White Oreo was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were taken from the initial selection in March 1986 in a controlled environment in Salinas, Calif., by technicians working under formulations established and supervised by Cornelius P. VandenBerg.
Horticultural examination of controlled flowerings of successive plantings has shown that the unique combination of characteristic as herein disclosed for White Oreo are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
White Oreo has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and daylength.
The following observations, measurements and comparisons describe plants grown in Salinas, Calif. under greenhouse conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial greenhouse practice. The low temperature tolerance of the new variety as noted below was determined in repeated flowerings in Bogota, Columbia.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of White Oreo, which, in combination, distinguish this Chrysanthemum as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Flat capitulum form.
2. Daisy capitulum type.
3. White ray floret color.
4. Diameter across face of capitulum up to 85 mm at maturity.
5. Uniform eight week photoperiodic flowering response to short days.
6. Peduncle length ranging from 10 to 15 cm on open, terminal sprays.
7. Short plant height, requiring two to three long day weeks prior to short days to attain a flowered plant height of 90 to 100 cm for year-round flowerings.
8. Excellent tolerance to low temperatures for bud initiation and flower development.
The accompanying photographic drawing shows typical inflorescence and leaf characteristics of White Oreo, with the colors being as nearly true as possible with illustrations of this type. The color photograph is a perspective view of White Oreo grown as a single stem cut spray mum.
Of the commercial cultivars known to the inventor, the most similar in comparison to White Oreo are the parent cultivar Oreo and the induced mutation Dark Oreo, created through the same mutation induction program as White Oreo, and disclosed in Applicant's pending application Ser. No. 07/435,822filed simultaneously with the present application. All traits of White Oreo are similar to those of Oreo, except for vigor and the color of the ray florets. The color of the ray florets of White Oreo is white, whereas Oreo has light purple ray florets. Under the same growing conditions, White Oreo will grow 3-4" taller than Oreo. Dark Oreo has red-purple ray florets, and does not express the greater vigor of White Oreo, being similar in vigor to the parent cultivar Oreo.
In the following description color references are made to the Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart. The color values were determined on plant material grown as a single stem cut spray mum in Salinas., Calif. on July 18, 1989.
