| Abstract: |
A new variety of carnation plant distinguished by the orange red coloring of its relatively large blooms which are borne on strong, upright flower stems and by its continuous production of flowers which retain the same coloration in all seasons of blooming. |
| Claim: |
I claim:
1. A new and distinct carnation cultivar, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by its continuous production of relatively large and solid light red flowers and byits ability to retain the same flower color production through all seasons. |
| Description: |
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
This new carnation cultivar originated at Aalsmeer, Holland, as a sport of an unpatented carnation variety named "Doranja" and was discovered by me in 1977. I selected this sport for propagation because of its relatively large size and unusualcoloration. Propagation of this discovery flower was done by means of cuttings and the success of that propagation led me to continue propagating this new plant through successive generations at Aalsmeer, which demonstrated that the new plant not onlyretained the continuous production of blooms and distinctive coloration but also that its distinguishing characteristics held true from generation to generation and appeared to be firmly fixed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
My new carnation cultivar is illustrated by the accompanying full color photographic drawing which shows a three-fourths view of a fully developed bloom and partial face views of the blooms which show their general form and coloration, the colorsshown being as nearly true as it is possible to obtain by conventional photographic procedures.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW PLANT
The following is a detailed description of my new carnation cultivar based upon observation of plants grown under conventional greenhouse procedures at Aalsmeer, Holland, the color designations being according to The R.H.S. Colour Chartpublished by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England.
