A new and distinct standard carnation cultivar particularly distinguished by its medium sized blooms of a light yellow coloration, the petals of which are longitudinally and closely striated with thin lines of light pink and sometimes white, the blooms being produced profusely during the Spring, Summer and Fall flowering seasons of a plant having a recurrent blooming habit. The flowers are borne singly on long, strong, upright stems of a vigorous plant which reaches an average height of about 140 cm., at eight months of growth.
The new and distinctive variety of standard carnation substantially as herein shown and described, particularly characterized by medium sized blooms, the petals of which are of a uniform, clear light yellow base color, longitudinally striated with fine lines of pink and sometimes white, the flowers being produced profusely on strong, upright stems of a tall plant having a vigorous upright and rigid growth habit reaching an average height of about 140 cm.

This new carnation cultivar originated as a seedling of a hybrid developed by us in 1985 at the San Remo, Italy nursery of Antonio and Renato Di Giorgio by crossing two varieties of carnations selected from the Di Giorgio collection of carnations maintained at their nursery for breeding purposes. This particular seedling was selected for propagation because of its very light yellow flowers variegated by each of the flower petals having light pink longitudinal striations, the flowers appearing profusely on long, strong, upright stems of a tall plant reaching a height of about 140 cm. The selected variety was propagated by us at San Remo, Italy by means of cuttings with such satisfactory results that it was decided to continue propagation of this new plant at the San Remo nursery through several successive generations by cuttings to prove that the novel characteristics of the selected seedling would be retained from generation to generation and that its homogeneity could be assured for commercial scale production.
This new carnation variety is now being propagated for cut flower production by means of cuttings, as well as in vitro propagation procedures, at Establissements Barberet et Blanc, Laboratoire de Physiologie Vegetale, 83250 La Londe-Les Maures, France.
Our new standard carnation cultivar is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which show a bud and several flowers in various stages of development, the color rendition being as nearly true to that herein specified as is reasonably possible to obtain by professional photographic procedures.
The following is a detailed description of our new carnation variety based upon observations of plants grown in greenhouse, as well as outside, in the Spring of 1988 at San Remo, Italy, the color designations stated herein being according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England.
