| Description: |
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
This new variety of spray carnation cultivar originated as a sport of the variety Statropur (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,849), being grown at Aalsmeer, Holland. This new spray carnation is a sport of unknown causation. The sport was found as abranch of Statropur. Stagilac differs from the parental cultivar in its overall plant height, the color of its petals, and its fruit fertility. Listed below, in Table 1, is a comparison of Stagilac with Statropur and other known sports of Statropur. The other sports listed are subjects of copending applications. Serial numbers for these applications are provided for in the Table.

Stagilac was discovered in 1988 and propagated by me with cuttings for testing and evaluation because of its unusual flower coloring which is white at the base and purple to the outer edge of each petal. Stagilac was asexually propagated at mynursery in Aalsmeer, Holland.
The initial propagation by cutting proved to be successful, and further propagation confirmed that the new variety retained all of the distinguishing characteristics of the original mutation and that these characteristics hold true fromgeneration to generation and appear to be firmly fixed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
This new spray carnation cultivar is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which, in full color, shows the distinguishing color characteristics and flower form of this plant, the color rendition being as nearly true as it isreasonably possible to obtain by conventional photographic procedures.
