Abstract
An impatiens plant of the variety known as "Duet" in which the double deep red flowers are contrasted with foliage which is basically the usual green of impatiens leaves, but is provided with variegations in the form of yellowish white borders of varying widths extending around the edge of each of the leaves.
Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
I claim: 1. A mew and distinct variety of Impatiens plant characterized particularly as to novelty by the foliage wherein the borders of the leaves are of yellowish white coloration to thus provide variegation, the borders being of relatively thin width varying from leaf to leaf, thereby providing a unique contrast with the double deep red flowers which have the color of the deep red impatiens "Duet".
