Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named Myway is provided. The new cultivar was the result of a mutation induced by controlled irradiation with x-rays and can be readily distinguished from the parent Broadway cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,737). More specifically, the new cultivar forms attractive yellow single flowers wherein the disc comprises a large dark brown central spot surrounded by a green border. The response period of the flowers is approximately nine weeks. The new cultivar is particularly suited for use in the production of a cut single spray under greenhouse conditions.
