Abstract

A new and believed to be original spray carnation variety particularly distinguished by the very unusual coloration of purple-violet to white for its small to medium sized blossoms, which are produced intermittently and profusely during the Spring, Summer and Fall blooming periods; the plant itself having a vigorous, upright and rigid growth habit with very abundant foliage reaching a height of about 99 cm. during eight months of growth.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
This new spray carnation cultivar originated as a seedling of a hybrid developed by us in 1983 at our nursery at 83250 La Londe-Les-Maures, France, by crossing two varieties selected from our collection of breeding plants maintained at our nursery for breeding purposes. This particular seedling was selected for propagation because of its very unusual flower coloration and the overall high quality of the plant growth on which the blooms were produced and asexual propagation of this selected plant was done by us and under our direction at La Londe with such satisfactory results that we directed that propagation of this new plant be continued from generation to generation both by cuttings and by in vitro propagation procedures to determine whether the novel characteristics of the selected plant would be retained from generation to generation and its homogeneity could be assured. This proved to be successful and this new spray carnation variety is now being propagated on a commercial scale at La Londe.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
Our new spray carnation cultivar is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing, which shows a blooming portion of a spray stem with buds and flowers in several stages of development, the color rendition being as nearly true as is reasonably possible to obtain by professional photographic procedures.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW PLANT
The following is a detailed description of our new spray carnation variety based upon observation of plants grown in greenhouse as well as outdoors at La Londe and blooming during the current year.
