Abstract
A new spray carnation cultivar particularly distinguished by its very light Indian Yellow flower petals marginally streaked with a Scarlet or Delft Rose color, the combination producing a very distinctive appearance due to the color contrast. These blossoms are borne on straight, relatively long, rigid peduncles branching from a rigid, upright stem having a rather abundant quantity of relatively short leaves with acute tips, the plant itself having a vigorous, upright growth habit, a profuse production of blooms and a resistance to Fusarium oxysporum.
