Choice of Comparators ‘Paradise Timor’ was considered
for the comparative trial as the most similar variety of
common knowledge. The Red Fox Riviera series varieties
are similar to the Paradise series varieties in flower size,
number, colour and earliness. All other varieties available in
Australia were excluded because of their lack of similarity
to either of the above series varieties.

Location: trials conducted at F& I Baguley Flower and
Plant Growers, Clayton South, VIC, Mar – Jul 1999.

fed using a drip system (one dripper/pot). The glasshouse
walls and roof were sprayed with whitewash at the start of
the trial. All plants were subjected to the same spray
chemical treatments to maintain health. Trial design: 12
plants of each variety were arranged in rows.
Measurements: from all trial plants.
