Carnation named Lonwadec

Abstract

A new carnation plant particularly distinguished by its spray of relatively small, Venetian Pink blossoms which are borne in a cluster on a strong, upright stem having an average length of about 6.5 cm. and blooming recurrently with a profuse production of flowers in the spring, midseason and fall periods but having a tendency to give fewer blooms in the fall season. This plant has a vigorous, upright growth habit with an abundant foliage production and reaching an average height of about 98 cm. at eight months, the plant also being tolerant to Fusarium oxysporum as observed I.N.R.A., Antibes, France.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct spray carnation cultivar, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by the very light pink uniform coloration of its relatively small blooms, the production of which is abundant during its blooming seasons.
