Carnation named Mei-Fu

Abstract

A new carnation cultivar particularly distinguished by its relatively small, double type, pink and white flowers, the petals of which are generally fan shaped and have a base coloration of several shades or tones of pink spreading outwardly from the base to a deeply serrated white margin, on the upper side, and having an homogeneous white coloration on the under side lightly tinged with the pink ground color of the upper side, the flowers being of symmetrical shape and of rather flat form borne on sturdy stems of medium thickness and very elastic.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of carnation, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by its relatively small, double type flowers of symmetrical and flat shape, and by the several color tones on the upper surface of the flower petals which spread as on a fan, the petals also exhibiting an irregular corona pattern of color and a white reverse side which is overlaid by a faint pink coloration.
