Abstract

A new spray carnation cultivar particularly distinguished by its very light Indian Yellow flower petals marginally streaked with a Scarlet or Delft Rose color, the combination producing a very distinctive appearance due to the color contrast. These blossoms are borne on straight, relatively long, rigid peduncles branching from a rigid, upright stem having a rather abundant quantity of relatively short leaves with acute tips, the plant itself having a vigorous, upright growth habit, a profuse production of blooms and a resistance to Fusarium oxysporum.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
Our new carnation cultivar is the result of breeding efforts carried on by us at La Londe, Les Maures, France, since 1979 with the object of producing new carnation varieties having nice color, good quality and resistance 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 very unusual color display, its very favorable growth habit and its apparent resistance to Fusarium oxysporum. The 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 original 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 in its reproductions and appear to be firmly fixed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
Our new spray carnation cultivar is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which shows, in full color, the upper or flowering portion of a typical flowering stem with buds and flowers in various stages of opening, the colors shown being as nearly true to those herein specified as it is reasonably possible to obtain by conventional photographic procedures.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW PLANT
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 designations being specified according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England.

Color.--The same as petals.
Flower Stem:
Length.--About 53 cm.
Character.--Upright and of good strength.
Color.--189A and 189B.
Fragrance: There is fragrance present.
Persistence: The flower petals hang on and dry.
Lasting quality: As cut flower -- At least ten days in vase keeping.
Disease resistance: Resistant to Fusarium oxysporum as observed INRA, Antibes, Alpes-Maritimes, France.
REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS
Stamens:
Number.--From 1 to 22.
Arrangement.--Encircling the pistils.
Anthers.--Size: Less than 4 mm. Color: Whitish.
Filaments.--Color -- Whitish.
Pistils:
Number.--2 To 4.
Styles.--Color -- Whitish.
Stigmas.--Color -- Lightly pinkish.
Character of ovaries: Small, spherical and lightly ribbed.
This new cultivar most resembles the variety "Ministar", our new variety differing from "Ministar" by having a very vigorous first flowering, a less serrated flower petal and by its resistance to Fusarium oxysporum.

Claims (1)
