| Claim: |
I claim:
1. The new and distinctive carnation cultivar, substantially as herein shown and described, particularly characterized by its large, Dresden-yellow flowers, which are continuouslyblooming even under a low light intensity and are borne singly on strong, upright stems. |
| Description: |
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
This new carnation cultivar as a Hybrid Seedling developed by me in 1985 at our nursery in Aalsmeer, Holland by crossing two varieties selected from our collection of carnations maintained for breeding purposes at Aalsmeer. This particularseedling was selected for propagation because of its large, Dresden-yellow flowers, which grow well even under low light intensity, and the overall high quality of its growth habit. Asexual propagation of this selected plant was done by means ofcuttings under my direction at Aalsmeer and propagation of this new plant continued from generation to generation to determine whether the novel characteristics of the selected seedling would hold true from generation to generation so that itshomogeneity could be assured.
This proved to be successful and this new carnation variety is now being propagated at Aalsmeer.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
My new carnation cultivar is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing, which shows blooming portions of flower stems with the flowers shown in full development, the color rendition being as nearly true to that herein specified as isreasonably possible to obtain by professional photographic procedures.
DECRIPTION OF THE NEW PLANT
The following is a detailed description of my new carnation variety based upon observation of plants grown in greenhouse as well as outdoors at Aalsmeer and blooming during the current year.
