Abstract
A new variety of carnation plant of the American type, particularly adapted to greenhouse culture for cut flower production and distinguished by the variegated purple-on-white coloring of its blossoms and its profuse and continuous spray-type production of flowers from early Spring through Fall on sturdy, upright and vigorous plants.
Description
This new carnation plant originated in my greenhouse at Bloomfield, Colo., as the sport of White Elegance (unpatented) and was discovered by me on Apr. 6, 1973. The very unusual coloring of this flower prompted me to reproduce it by means of cuttings and the resulting plants have since been propagated, by cuttings, through several successive generations at Bloomfield, Colo., and at Denver, Colo., during the course of which its novel characteristics have been observed to hold true from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed. Propagation of this new carnation variety is now being done on a commercial scale at Denver, Colo.
My new variety of carnation plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which, in full color, shows a bud about to open, a bud with petals beginning to unfurl, and several stages of the opened flower, the color rendition being as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to obtain by conventional photographic procedures.
The following is a detailed description of my new variety of carnation plant based upon observations of greenhouse grown plants made at Denver, Colo., in the Summer of 1976, the color designations being according to the Dictionary of Color by Maerz & Paul, 2nd Edition, McGraw-Hill 1950.

My new variety of carnation plant is particularly distinguished by the very unusual coloration of its blossoms which with the very random purple on white markings of the individual petals present a very attractive burst of color. The variety closest to this new plant is Purple Haze (unpatented). However, this new plant has flowers of a more reddish-purple color and instead of lines or streaks, as in Purple Haze, has random splotches of color with no two petals being exactly the same in pattern or amount. The overall effect, however, is quite uniform -- flower to flower.
