Abstract

A new plant variety of freesia with early flowering response suitable for growing as a cut flower.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Freesia which originated by crossing two unpatented, unnamed varieties of this creation at the Van Staaveren Nursery in Aalsmeer, the Netherlands. The female parent is identified as 3208-AT-1 and the male parent is identified as 841-J.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Among the features which distinguish the new variety from other presently available and known commercial cultivars are attractive flowers and early flowering response after planting which distinguishes the new variety to be suitable as a cut flower variety. Asexual reproduction of the new variety by corms and cormlets in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands has established that the distinctive characteristics are transmitted through succeeding generations. The varietal denomination of the new variety is `Varablue`.
FLOWERING TIME
Under conditions of growing plants under glass in The Netherlands, Freesia plant varieties typically flower in about 22 to 23 weeks for plants planted in October; about 21 to 22 weeks for plants planted in December/January; and about 20 to 30 weeks for plants planted in June/July (flowering depends on soil temperature after about 20 to 30 weeks). In contrast to the above, the flowering time after planting in October for `Varablue` is about 18 weeks, about 16 weeks and about 16 weeks for October planting, January planting and June planting, respectively, under glass in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATION
The accompanying photograph illustrates the new variety and shows the flowering thereof from bud to full bloom depicted in color as nearly correct as it is possible to make in a color illustration of this character. Throughout this description, color values are based upon The Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England, except where common terms of color definition are employed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
