Abstract
Abstract Mean height of the ‘Sims’ carnation was exceeded significantly in 1 and equalled in 2 of 7 tetraploid carnation seedling populations. Parental lines used in the crosses were shorter than ‘Sims’ (the control), a tall, diploid, commercial, carnation cultivar. Mean flower diam significantly exceeded that of ‘Sims’ in 2 and equalled it in 4 of 7 seedling populations. The commercially desirable features, heavy fragrance, adequate numbers of lateral shoots, and genotypes for large or bract-supported calyces were found in some of the seedlings. These results indicate that further breeding and selection among these tetraploid lines may be desirable and productive.
