Carnation named Lonforem

Abstract

A new spray carnation cultivar particularly distinguished by its very light Indian Yellow flower petals marginally streaked with a Scarlet or Delft Rose color, the combination producing a very distinctive appearance due to the color contrast. These blossoms are borne on straight, relatively long, rigid peduncles branching from a rigid, upright stem having a rather abundant quantity of relatively short leaves with acute tips, the plant itself having a vigorous, upright growth habit, a profuse production of blooms and a resistance to Fusarium oxysporum.

We claim: 
     
       1. The new and distinctive spray carnation cultivar, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by the Indian Yellow and Scarlet coloration of its small blooms which are produced profusely on strong, straight peduncles carried on tall, upright and strong flowering stems; and by its vigorous and upright growth habit, rather abundant foliage and resistance to Fusarium oxysporum.
