Abstract
A new variety of a spider form chrysanthemum distinguished by its improved darker pink coloration when compared with its parent variety "Westland" (P.P. 4,589), particularly with respect to color retention, which is better than "Westland" which fades to a lighter pink more quickly. In all other respects, this sport of "Westland" is the same as its parent.
