Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named Majoor Bosshardt is provided. The new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein an unnamed plant designated 83.660 was pollinated by the Daymark cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,240). More specifically, the new cultivar forms attractive large white anemone-centered flowers having white ray florets and a green center when immature. The inflorescence tends to be pyramidal in configuration. The response period of the flowers is approximately eight weeks. The new cultivar is particularly suited for use in the production of a cut anemone spray under greenhouse conditions.
