A new and distinct standard carnation cultivar distinguished particularly by its very large blooms of a uniform light yellow coloration, the blooms of which are striated by thin longitudinal lines of a Carmine Rose color and sometimes white which provide a very unusual character for the full flower appearance, the blooms being produced profusely at recurrent intervals from Spring to Fall on the long, strong stems of a tall plant having a vigorous, upright and rigidly strong growth habit with a moderately abundant production of foliage.
The new and distinct standard carnation variety, substantially as herein shown and described, particularly characterized by its flowers of very large size and overall light yellow coloration, the petals of which have light pink longitudinal striation, the flowers being borne singly on long, strong, upright stems of a very tall plant.

This new carnation variety originated as a seedling of a hybrid developed by us in 1985 at the nursery of Antonio and Renato Di Giorgio at San Remo, Italy by crossing two varieties selected from the Di Giorgio collection of carnations maintained at their nursery for breeding purposes. We selected this particular seedling for propagation because of its very large blooms having an attractive overall light yellow coloration tinged with light pink striations of its petals and being carried on long, strong, upright stems of a tall plant appearing to have excellent characteristics for commercial propagation for cut flower production. This selected seedling was propagated under our direction by means of cuttings at the Di Giorgio nursery in San Remo with such satisfactory results that we decided to continue propagation of the new plant at San Remo through several successive generations by cuttings whereby we were satisfied that the novel characteristics of the new plant would be retained from generation to generation and that its homogeneity could be assured for large-scale propagation for the production of cut flowers.
Our new carnation is now being propagated for commercial purposes by means of cuttings, as well as by in vitro propagation procedures at Establissements Barberet et Blanc, Laboratoire de Physiologie Vegetale, 83250 La Londe-Les Maures, France.
Our new carnation cultivar is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which shows several blooming stems with flowers and buds 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 variety of carnation based upon observations made in the Spring of 1988 of plants grown in greenhouse, as well as outside, 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.
Origin: Seedling.
