Abstract
A new, hybrid carnation, distinguished by its profuse production of Tyrian Purple flowers of medium size, each petal of which is bordered with a ruffled margin of a light color, approaching white, the flowers being borne singly on strong, upright pedicels, which are carried on sturdy, upright peduncles about 45-60 cm. long.
Description
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.
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.
The following is a detailed description of my new carnation variety, based upon observation of the plants grown under conventional greenhouse practices, with color designations being according to the Horticultural Colour Chart published by The British Colour Council in collaboration with The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England.
