Abstract

A new variety of spray carnation particularly distinguished by its very large flowers which are borne in a cluster, the petals of which are light pink in color and greenish at the base, the blooming habit being both recurrent and profuse during the blooming seasons of Spring and Fall. This plant has a vigorous, upright growth habit and moderately abundant foliage.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
My new carnation cultivar is the result of breeding efforts carried on by us as LaLonde, Les Maures, France, this new plant originated as a seedling produced from my crossing of selected and individually identified plants growing among my stock of plants maintained at La Londe for breeding purposes. This particular seedling was selected by me for propagation and tests because of its very unusual flower coloration and was reproduced under my direction at La Londe by means of cuttings. This propagation had favorable results with respect to retention of the novel characteristics of the parent plant and successive propagation through several generations established definitively that the novel and distinctive characteristics of the parent plant are fully retained from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
My new spray carnation variety is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which, in full color, shows a typical arrangement of buds and flowers in various stages of opening, the colors shown being as nearly true to those specified herein as is reasonably possible to obtain by conventional photographic procedures.
