I propagated this new plant by means of cuttings with very favorable results, which prompted me to continue propagation through several successive generations to observe its growth habits and the stability of its novel and distinctive features and I thereby found that the distinctive characteristics of the plant were maintained true from generation to generation and appeared to be firmly fixed.
  • Opening rate Moderate.
  • Blooming habit Profuse and continuous.
  • the flowers are less susceptible to Fusarium oxysporum as observed in the Aslsmeer district of The Netherlands.
  • Stamens Moderate in number.

  • This particular miniature carnation has the advantage of a very fast and profuse production of quite small flowers with considerably more appearing on each flower than would ordinarily occur. Also, the blooms of this plant are less susceptible to fusarium oxysporum than would be normal.

Abstract

A new variety of miniature carnation characterized by its rapid and continuous production of small red-purple blooms with a larger number than normal of flowers appearing on each flower stem and its tall, strong and upright growth habit.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
This new variety of miniature carnation plant originated as a seedling of unknown parentage growing among a group of carnation plants maintained in greenhouse for breeding purposes at Aalsmeer, The Netherlands, this particular plant having been selected by me for propagation because of its profuse production of small red-purple blooms with more than usual appearing on each flowering stem. I propagated this new plant by means of cuttings with very favorable results, which prompted me to continue propagation through several successive generations to observe its growth habits and the stability of its novel and distinctive features and I thereby found that the distinctive characteristics of the plant were maintained true from generation to generation and appeared to be firmly fixed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
This new variety of carnation plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which shows a plurality of flower stems bearing buds in various stages of opening and blooms from newly opened to fully mature state, several of the blooms being hand painted to show the specified colors as nearly true as is reasonably possible.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW PLANT
