Abstract

A new carnation cultivar particularly distinguished by its relatively short plant height and its profuse production of very small, generally magnolia purple flowers having a ruby red heart and borne in clusters on strong, erect, but relatively short flowering stems emitted near the soil and reaching a height of about 20 cm., the plant itself having a height of about 20 to 25 cm. with abundant foliage and a shape particularly adapted to pot plant culture.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
This new carnation variety originated as a seedling of a hybrid resulting from my crossing a pair of unnamed and unpatented carnation varieties selected by me from my collection of carnation plants maintained by me for breeding purposes at my nursery in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands, the object of this crossing being to develop new plants which would improve the range of carnation varieties for commercial production by having a more rapid growth habit, new flower colors and improved production rate. This particular seedling was selected by me for propagation because of the light magnolia purple color of the flower petals, each of which is particularly distinguished by having a ruby red heart at its base and also because the plant itself had a rapid growth rate and reached a terminal height of only about 25 cm., which appeared to me to be an ideal subject for pot plant culture. This new plant was propagated by me at Aalsmeer by means of cuttings with such very satisfactory results that I promptly directed that this particular variety be propagated through several successive generation, by means of cuttings, to determine whether its distinctive characteristics would hold true from generation to generation and so that its homogenetic character could be assured for commercial production.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
My new spray carnation cultivar is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which shows, in full color, the upper end of a flowering stem, as well as a full face view of a mature flower, a bud and several of the petals, the colors shown being as nearly true as is reasonably possible to obtain by conventional photographic procedures.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW PLANT
The following is a detailed description of my new spray carnation cultivar based upon observation made during the current year at Aalsmeer, the color designations being according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England.

REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS
Stamens:
Number.--6 to 8.
Arrangement.--Evenly around the ovary.
Anthers.--Size: Small. Color: Cream White.
Filaments.--Length: About 10 to 12 mm. Color: White.
Pollen.--Color: White.

Claims (1)

I claim:
1. The new and distinct carnation variety, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by its short, bushy plant form and its small magnolia purple flowers, the petals of which each have a large ruby red heart at the midportion of the petal body and above the petal stem.
