Abstract
A new and distinct Chrysanthemum cultivar named `Chakuse` is provided. The new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program. Attractive double bright yellow blossoms of the spider type are formed in profusion (as illustrated). The response period of the flowers is approximately eight and one-half weeks. Recurrent flower production throughout the year is possible. The plant possesses strong stems, forms attractive leaves, and commonly assumes a height of only approximately 25 to 30 cm. The new cultivar is particularly suited for use in the production of a decorative pot Chrysanthemum. No growth regulator is required to achieve the short plant height.
