Abstract

A new plant variety of carnation pot plant producing violet pictoee and striped flowers.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of carnation plant which was discovered as a sport in a controlled planting of the cultivar `CFPC Pageant`. The varietal denomination of this new carnation is `CFPC Dream`. The variety `CFPC Pageant` was the original name for the variety `CFPC Whisper ` disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. Application Ser. No. 08/749922. The original mutation discovered was two stems of the parent plant.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety is a true dwarf carnation suitable for growing in 4 to 41/2-inch pots (1 plant, 1 pinch, i.e. one cutting or plant per pot and one pinch of the terminal portion to induce lateral shoots), tolerant to temperatures of about 10° to 120° F., with a keeping quality of about 3 to 4 weeks for substantially all blooms on the plant. Flower buds open from green bud to maturity with moderate light. No disease problems have been observed as yet.
If planted outdoors, the new variety will continue to recycle growth and blooms. It appears to be perennial in nature in most sections of the country.
In addition to the foregoing, the new variety exhibits superior resistance to soil borne diseases such as F. oxysporum, strains 1 and 2, and F. qraminearum, and root-rots such as damping off, water molds, and the like.
Asexual reproduction by propagation by side shoot cuttings of the new variety as performed in Salinas, Calif., shows that the foregoing and other distinguishing characteristics come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
`CFPC Dream` has flowers with a lavender background color, whereas `CFPC Pageant` has flowers with a white background.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATION
The accompanying illustration shows typical specimens of the flowers and foliage of the new variety depicted in color as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in a color illustration of this character.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
The following is a detailed description of my new variety, with color terminology in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Color Chart (R.H.S.C.C.). The terminology used in color description herein refers to plate numbers in the aforementioned color chart. Phenotypic expression and color descriptions may vary depending upon varying environmental, seasonal and cultural conditions.
The information provided herein is based on observations of plants grown inside commercial greenhouses at Salinas, Calif. The height of plant and flower and foliage size are established as an average using standard commercial cultural practices. Where terms such as average, normal, ordinary, etc., are used, the characteristics so described are not considered distinguishing.
