Carnation named Lontarion

Abstract

A new carnation cultivar particularly distinguished by its bright red flowers of medium size having many very frilled petals which lend a very distinctive character to the ball shape of the bloom which is carried on strong, rigid stems which provide particular advantage when the blooms are employed for decorative uses either alone or in arrangements with other flowers in vases. This plant has a very vigorous and upright growth habit reaching a height of about 110 cm. providing very strong flower stems when cut at the tenth node.

We claim: 
     
       1. The new and distinct carnation cultivar, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by its abundant production of bright, medium sized blooms, its regularly recurrent blooming habit, and its resistance to Fusarium oxysporum.
