Carnation named Londonie

Abstract

A new red spray carnation cultivar particularly distinguished by its relatively small flowers, borne on relatively short and rather thin but erect stems, which bloom profusely during the midseason of its Spring and Fall blooming seasons. This plant has a vigorous, upright growth habit with abundant foliage, a very branched habit, and a height averaging about 99 cm. at eight months. A particular advantage of this new plant is that it is very resistant to Fusarium oxysporum as observed INRA, Antibes, Alpes-Maritimes, France.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct spray carnation, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by the bright red color of its small blooms borne on thin, erect stems, a vigorous growth habit with abundant foliage, and a habit of blooming profusely during its Spring and Fall flowering seasons.
