Carnation named Loncruso

Abstract

A new spray carnation cultivar particularly distinguished by the very light yellow color of its blossoms which are spotted near the tips of its petals with a rather deep red color, the flowers being borne on straight, rather rigid peduncles branching from a srong, upright stem having rather abundant foliage and a tall, vigorous and upright growth habit and a profuse production of blooms during its Spring and Fall blooming seasons.

We claim:
