Carnation named Lonkorpi

Abstract

A new spray carnation variety particularly distinguished by its very light chartreuse yellow blossoms, the petal edges of which are predominately edged with cardinal red. These blossoms are borne on straight, rather rigid peduncles branching from a strong, upright stem having abundant foliage and a vigorous, upright growth habit. This variety is also rather resistant to Fusarium oxysporum.

We claim:
