Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named Yellow Bijoux 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 Snow Bijoux cultivar (U.S. Ser. No. 721,712, filed concurrently herewith). More specifically, the new cultivar forms attractive yellow flowers of the spider anemone type having a light green center. The yellow tubular ray florets of the Yellow Bijoux cultivar (as illustrated) are substantially different in appearance than those of the Snow Bijoux cultivar which are white. The inflorescence tends to be relatively flat when mature. The response period of the flowers is approximately nine weeks. The new cultivar is particularly suited for use in the production of a cut spider anemone spray under greenhouse conditions.
