FORMALITY 
Lavender Queen X 
(Mother Kadel X New Era) 
ForMauity is blush lavender in color with a 
cream throat. The 4” florets with recurved petals are 
close-set without crowding. This gives the spike a 
quite formal appearance, especially so when 8-10 
florets are open at one time. The 24” flowerhead car- 
ries up to 22 buds. Because of its precise form and 
habits we believe it will be hard to beat on the show 
table in the 300-section. Propagation is excellent. 
Blooms in 88 days from cold storage. 
1949 awards: American Home Achievement Medal 
at Eastern International Show at Binghamton. Best 
300-spike in open division at Delaware. Seedling rating 
“A” at Keystone State and Delaware Shows. 
Introductory prices: Large bulbs, $2.00 each. 
Medium and small bulbs, $1.00 each. Bulblets, 10 for 
$1.00. Starter units of 1 large, 3 medium and 5 small 
bulbs, plus 25 bulblets for $8.00 

INVITATION 
Lavender Queen X (Mother Kadel X New Era) 
INVITATION is a sister seedling to ForMaLiTy and differs from it chiefly in that 
the color is a “baby-pink” with a cream throat, and it is earlier. It blooms in 73 
days. Like Formatiry the petals are plain and recurved. Height 54”. Flowerhead 
24”. Propagation is excellent. 
While we missed the shows with this one we believe it too will be a worthy addition 
to the 300-section. We know the florists like it. 
Introductory prices are the same as for FoRMALITY.
