A new pot chrysanthemum cultivar originated as a sport of the variety "Spirit" (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,813) and distinguished by its white hemispherical blooms which have serrate-tipped ray florets and which are somewhat smaller in diameter than the blooms of the parent plant. The new plant is generally similar to its parent in growth habit but is slightly shorter in average height.
