Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named Yellow Bosshardt 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 Majoor Bosshardt cultivar (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 07/680,136, filed concurrently herewith). More specifically, the new cultivar forms attractive large light yellow anemone-centered flowers having 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.
