BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Ramat.
The present invention of a new and distinct variety of
Variety denomination: ‘Zanmucandle’.
chrysanlhemum is shown in the accompanying drawings, the color being as nearly true as possible with color photographs of this type.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 shows a plant of the cultivar in full bloom. FIG. 2 shows the various stages of bloom of the new cul tivar. FIG. 3 shows the various stages of foliage of the new cultivar.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar
of chrysanlhemum plant, botanically known as Chrysanthe mumxmorifolium Ramat., and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar denomination ‘Zanmucandle’. ‘Zanmucandle’ is a
product of a breeding and selection program for outdoor pot
mums (garden mums) which had the objective of creating
