Flowers of carnation Dianthus caryophllus 01. "Banyas"{white flowers) were harvested at the immature stage (star stage) and were dipped in a distilled water, STS (1:4 mµ) and jasmine oil at 0.015 and 0.030% for one hour. The flowers were divided in two groups. One group (0.0 time) was placed in vases with a distilled water and the second was dry stored at 0°C for 4 and 6 weeks UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2008/EJAR/8608/1/243.pdf ER -
