Abstract
A new chrysanthemum cultivar for fall garden culture having a profuse production of relatively small, daisy-like flowers which form a dense mound of color. This plant has a rapid and vigorous growth habit and blooms naturally in the mid-season of fall, growing to a height of about 50 to 75 centimeters. This plant may also be grown as a year-round four inch pot plant and will not become vegetative and rosette under cool temperatures.

A fall garden chrysanthemum cultivar, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized in uniqueness, when compared with the variety "Yellow Jacket", by its more vigorous growth which forms a larger mound of bright yellow daisy-like flowers, and by its capability of being grown as a year-round four inch pot plant.
