1950 INTRODUCTIONS 
FROM C. F. AND D. J. KUHN. 
PEASANT MAID (Kuhn). [Nadia x (Janet x Arabella) ]. (262) Color a deep rose, 
the only markings are inconspicuous deeper self color lines in the throat. It makes a 
spike of 17 buds, of which 6 to 8 three inch florets are h2ld open with 6 more showing 
color. The flowerhead is 18 inches on a 44 inch spike. It blooms in 70 to 75 days. Won 
a number of awards as a seedling this past summer. A worthy addition to the list of 
outstanding small flower varieties from these originators. 
Price—Any size bulb, $3.00 each. No bulblets sold this year. 
FROM BYRON R. KADEL. 
CLARENCE D. FORTNAM (Kadel). (Red Penny x Myrna). (440) A statuesque 
beauty, blush pink in color. Its 5 inch florets, heavily ruffl:d and needlepoint, are borne 
on a 24 inch flowerhead with 8 of its 21 buds open and another 8 showing color. The 
champion spike at the 1949 Maryland show held 10 open on the second day. The height 
of the plant in the field is 56 inches. It blooms in 90 days. Bulblet production and 
germination are excellent. Its heavy substance, tight attachment and ability to open 
when cut, make it a promising cut flower. As an exhibition variety, its show record 
speaks for itself. In 1948, voted “most beautiful” at Eastern International show. Win- 
ner of American Home Achievement Medal at both the Keystone State and Maryland 
shows. In 1949, grand champion at Maryland show. Best spike in open division, and 
“most beautiful” at the Eastern International show. Most beautiful and second day 
champion at Lima show. 
Price—Any size bulb, $5.00 each. No bulblets sold this year. (If we are sold out 
of the size you order, may we substitute the nearest size in stock?) 
FAIRYLAND (Kadel). (Red Penny x Howard Wright Seedling). (360) A heavily 
ruffled glad of medium size. The color is a medium rose with an inconspicuous throat 
mark of a deeper shade. It is recommended chiefly for its decorative value. It opens 
6 four inch florets with 6 more showing color on a 15-16 bud spike. Height, 50 inches. 
Flowerhead, 22 inches. Stem straight and strong. Propagation is excellent. A basket 
of Fairyland won the N. A. G. C. Medal for champion basket at the 1949 Keystone 
State show. The ruffling of this variety is comparable to that of Wedgwood. 
Price—Any size bulb, $1.00 each. Bulblets, 10 for $1.00. Starter unit of 1 large, 
3 medium and 5 small bulbs, plus 25 bulblets for $8.00. 
FORMALITY (Kadel). [Lavender Queen x (Mother Kadel x New Era) ]. (366) A 
blush lavender with a cream throat. The 4 inch florets with recurved petals are close 
set without crowding. This gives the spike a quite formal appearance, especially so 
when 8 to 10 florets are open at one time. The 24 inch flowerhead carries 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: Seedling rating “A” at Keystone and Delaware shows. Best 300 
spike in open division at Delaware. American Home Achievement Medal at Eastern 
International show at Binghamton. 
Price—Large, $2.00 each; Medium and Small, $1.00 each. Bulblets, 10 for $1.00. 
Starter unit of 1 large, 3 medium and 5 small bulbs, plus 25 bulblets for $8.00.
