BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum botanically known as

, and referred to by the cultivar name ‘Onyx Time Cream’.
‘Onyx Time Cream,’ identified as OTC1, was discovered by Mark Boeder in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom, as a whole plant natural mutation in a controlled cultivated planting of the unpatented variety ‘Onyx Time.’ The new variety ‘Onyx Time Cream’ has been asexually reproduced by vegetative cuttings in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom and the distinguishing characteristics are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.

Plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Onyx Time Cream’ are similar to the parent cultivar ‘Onyx Time’ in plant habitat and growth rate. In side-by-side comparisons in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom, under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Onyx Time Cream’ produced medium sized cream-white flowers whereas the parent cultivar ‘Onyx Time’ produced white flowers.
Comparison with Other Varieties
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Onyx Time Cream’ are dissimilar to the cultivar ‘Surf,’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,585, in plant habitat and growth rate. In side-by-side comparisons in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom, under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Onyx Time Cream’ differed from plants of the cultivar ‘Surf’ in at least the following characteristics:
1. The new variety ‘Onyx Time Cream’ produces cream-white flowers whereas the cultivar ‘Surf’ produces white flowers.
2. Plants of the new variety ‘Onyx Time Cream’ have a longer response time than plants of the cultivar ‘Surf.’
