Carnation named Reddypot

#This carnation cultivar originated as a sport of parent variety "Pinky" produced in my nursery at Kwintsheul, The Netherlands. The claimed plant, hereinafter identified, was selected from a field of various carnation varieties maintained at my nursery for breeding purposes. This particular sport was selected because of the very unusual flower coloration and shape of the petal and its sturdy, and year around growth habit. The new carnation cultivar most closely resembles "Pinky" but the new cultivar has bigger flowers, different colors and grows more quickly. This selected sport was propagated by me at Kwintsheul, The Netherlands, by cuttings with very satisfactory results and thereafter this selected plant was propagated through several successive generations in the same manner which demonstrated conclusively that the novel characteristics of the originally selected sport would be maintained from generation to generation and its homogeneity would be firmly established.

#My new carnation plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which, in full color, shows the form and coloration of the flowers as they appear with relatively close spacing at the upper end portion of the flowering stem of the plant. The colors shown are as nearly true to these herein specified as is reasonably possible to obtain by conventional photographic procedures.

#The following is a detailed description of my new carnation plant as observed from plants grown under greenhouse conditions in Kwintsheul, The Netherlands, with the stated flower colors being according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England.

#Origin: Sport.

#Parentage: "Pinky".
