Abstract
A yellow chrysanthemum cultivar of the pot plant type originated as a sport of the variety "Spirit" (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,813) and distinguished by the light yellow coloring of its medium sized blooms. In general, this plant has the growth habit of its parent variety although the blooms are somewhat smaller in size and its response is about two to four days slower.

I claim: 1.
