Carnation named Lonbalma

Abstract

A new carnation cultivar particularly distinguished by the violet colored striation at the outer ends of the flower petals and a lightly pinkish background color of the petal body. These flowers are of medium size and are borne singly on long, strong stems and bloom profusely during the recurrent blooming seasons of Spring and Fall. This plant has a vigorous, upright growth habit and moderately abundant foliage.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinctive carnation cultivar, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by the generally violet colored striation on the lightly pinkish background of the many petals of its medium sized blooms.
