Carnation named Lontocia

Abstract

A new variety of carnation particularly distinguished by its generally orange colored flowers, the petals of which are lightly streaked with a deep red, the flowers being of medium size and borne on erect and rigid but rather brittle stems of medium length. The blooms are produced abundantly during the blooming periods of Spring and Fall and this plant has a vigorous and upright growth habit with moderately abundant foliage and very few branches.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct carnation cultivar, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized in particular by the shrimp red color of its blooms which are streaked with union jack red; and by its vigorous and rigid growth habit, moderately abundant foliage and relatively few branches.
