Carnation named Castellaro

Abstract

A new carnation cultivar distinguished by its large cyclamen-pink flowers of the double type borne singly on long, slender stems of optimal elasticity, good endurance as a cut flower and suitability for shipment, and particularly well suited to commercial cultivation for the production of cut flowers under normal, protected growing conditions.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct carnation variety, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by the bright red coloration of its blooms and the deeply incised margins of the flower petals, the flowers being of the double type and borne singly on slender, erect stems.
