Poinsettia named V-14 White

#This new poinsettia variety was discovered by me in the beginning of 1980 at my growing and breeding facilities at Encinitas, Calif., this mutation appearing as a branch of the parent plant growing among other branches having heads of the V-14 Pink coloring. This mutation was reproduced by me at Encinitas, Calif., by means of cuttings and such propagation was carried on under my direction to such an extent as to demonstrate clearly that its novel color characteristics were fixed and would hold true from generation to generation.

#This new poinsettia mutation is shown in the accompanying full color photographic drawings, in which the lower view shows a full face of the mutation as it appeared on the parent plant and the upper view shows the same in side elevation.

#The following is a general description of this mutation, its physical characteristics and habits, except for color, being practically identical with those of its parent V-14 Pink and its grandparent V-14 Glory (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,384). The color designations are according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England.

#Origin: Mutation.

#Parentage: V-14 Pink (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,808).
