Abstract

A new variety of carnation, characterized by its profuse and continuous year-round production of Dianthus purple flowers of medium size, each petal of which is bordered with a smooth margin, of a magenta color. This plant has a vigorous and upright growth habit with peduncles shorter than those found in other carnations, having a length from 35-45 cm.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
This new carnation originated at San Remo, Italy as a seedling derived by my crossing plants selected from breeding stock maintained in my greenhouse at San Remo, Italy, the object of this crossing being the production of an improved carnation suitable for cut-flowers. In 1981, it was discovered that the plant possessed the precocity and color contrast that I was seeking. Asexual propagation of this new plant, by means of cuttings, has been carried out at Stuttgart, West Germany, and San Remo, by me and under my direction through successive generations and the distinctive characteristics of this plant has been found to hold true from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
My new variety of carnation plant is illustrated by the accompanying full color photographic drawing, which shows a group of flowering stems having buds in various stages of opening, newly opened flowers and blooms in further stages of maturity, the flower coloration being shown as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to obtain by means of conventional photographic procedures.
