- Our new spray carnation cultivar is the result of breeding efforts carried on by us at La Londe, Les Maures, France, since 1978 with the object of developing a white carnation with good quality of flower stem and plant growth habit and which is particularly resistant to Fusarium oxysporum.
- This new plant originated as a seedling produced by our crossing of selected and individually identified plants growing among our stock of spray carnations maintained at La Londe for breeding purposes and this particular seedling was selected by us for propagation and test because of its pure white blossoms which are produced profusely on a tall, flowering stem having abundant foliage and an apparent very strong resistance to Fusarium oxysporum.
- This discovery plant was reproduced by us at La Londe, by means of cuttings, with such a favorable result with respect to retention of the novel characteristics of the parent plant that we continued such propagation through several successive generations and thereby determined that the novel and distinctive characteristics of the discovery plant are fully retained from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed.
- Branching character Well branched on all stems.
- Leaf size --About 12 cm. long and 8 mm. wide, in average at the seventh node.
- Leaf shape --Linear with rolled margins.
- Shape Long ovoid.
- Rate of opening Normal for carnations.
- Shape generally cylindrical and slightly bell-shaped at its upper portion.
- Blooming habit Recurrent, blooming profusely during midseason of Spring and Fall.
- This new variety of spray carnation most resembles "White Elegance” but differs by having a longer stem, a more branched spray, and a spotless white flower. Furthermore, this new variety differs from “White Elegance” by its resistance to Fusarium oxysporum.

Abstract
A new spray carnation cultivar particularly distinguished by its small, substantially pure white blossoms which are borne on upright, straight peduncles carried by a strong, tall, flowering stem having rather abundant foliage and a vigorous growth habit which is rather resistant to Fusarium oxysporum.
Description
Our new spray carnation cultivar is the result of breeding efforts carried on by us at La Londe, Les Maures, France, since 1978 with the object of developing a white carnation with good quality of flower stem and plant growth habit and which is particularly resistant to Fusarium oxysporum. This new plant originated as a seedling produced by our crossing of selected and individually identified plants growing among our stock of spray carnations maintained at La Londe for breeding purposes and this particular seedling was selected by us for propagation and test because of its pure white blossoms which are produced profusely on a tall, flowering stem having abundant foliage and an apparent very strong resistance to Fusarium oxysporum. This discovery plant was reproduced by us at La Londe, by means of cuttings, with such a favorable result with respect to retention of the novel characteristics of the parent plant that we continued such propagation through several successive generations and thereby determined that the novel and distinctive characteristics of the discovery plant are fully retained from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed.
Our new spray carnation is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which shows, in full color, the upper portion of a typical flowering stem with buds and flowers in various stages of opening, the color rendition being as nearly true as is reasonably possible to obtain by conventional photographic procedures.
The following is a detailed description of our new spray carnation discovery based upon observations of greenhouse grown plants at La Londe, France, in the Spring of 1983, the color descriptions being specified according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England.
