Abstract
A new carnation plant of low growth habit producing flowers of red and white variegated coloration.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of carnation plant which was originated by me in a controlled breeding program by my crossing as seed and pollen parents, two unnamed and unpatented seedlings of my creation. The varietal denomination of this new carnation is `CFPC Elf`.
Among the novel combination of characteristics possessed by the new variety which distinguishes it are dwarf plant growth habit, attractive red and white variegated flower coloring and suitability for growing as a pot plant in 4-inch pots.
`CFPC Elf` was created in a breeding program to produce stable cultivars with dwarf plant growth habit that do not require use of growth retardants to achieve the dwarf plant growth and which are also suitable for growing as potted plants. It is presently believed that this dwarf growth habit is due to a homozygous recessive dwarfing gene.
The new variety will produce flower buds that open well under moderate light conditions such as may occur in the home. `CFPC Elf` may tolerate temperatures as high as 120° F. and as low as 10° to 16° F. and therefore has a wide temperature tolerance range.
If planted outdoor, `CFPC Elf` will continue to recycle growth and blooms and may be perennial in nature, depending upon climate.
Asexual reproduction by propagation by side shoot cuttings of the new variety as performed in Salinas, Calif., shows that the foregoing and other distinguishing characteristics come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. Although propagation by side shoot cuttings is described, other known methods of asexual reproduction may also be used to reproduce `CFPC Elf`.
The accompanying illustration shows typical specimens of the vegetative growth and flowers of the new variety depicted in color as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in a color illustration of this character.
The following is a detailed description of my new variety, with color terminology in accordance with the Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (RHSCC). The terminology used in the color description herein refers to plate numbers in the aforementioned color chart. Color designations and color descriptions may deviate from the stated values depending upon varying environmental, seasonal and cultural conditions.
The new variety is one cultivar of a distinct type of true dwarf pot carnations, suitable for growing in 4" to 41/2" pots (1 plant - 1 pinch), and tolerant to temperatures of 10° F. to 120° F. No disease problems have been noted as yet. Keeping quality is generally 3 to 4 weeks. Flower buds will open from green buds to maturity with moderate light. `CPFC Elf` is distinct for its red and white variegated flower color, durability and the combination of aforementioned traits. If planted outdoors, `CFPC Elf` will continue to recycle growth and blooms. For most sections of the country, `CFPC Elf` appears to be perennial in nature.
The information provided herein is based on observations of plants grown inside commercial greenhouses at Salinas, Calif. The height of plant and flower and foliage size are established as an average using standard commercial cultural practices.
