Twenty genotypes of carnation were evaluated at four locations to ascertain genetic parameters of variability. Penotypic coefficients of variation (GCV) were higher than genotypic coefficients of variation (GCV) for all the characters studied. However, higher PCV and GCV estimates were found for incidence of disease, followed by stem strength and vase life. High heritability with high genetic advance was observed for flowering duration followed by stem strength and vase life.
