FORMALITY 
CLass 366 
Formality is a blush lavender Glad., 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 the same time. The 24” 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. Propogation is good. It blooms 
in 88 days from cold storage. 
The above is our description. We like better the 
description of Formality as it appears in a current 
article on the — “Best Three” in each color class. We 
quote in part; “Formality is perhaps the ‘find’ of the 
year as to preciseness of spike and beauty of floret form 
—Placement and attachment are both well nigh per- 
fect—Color is much clearer and cleaner than any 
of the other blush varities I know of.”

INVITATION 
Crass 342 
Invitation is a sister seedling to Formality and has much the same form with plain, 
recurved petals. Its color is a pure, deep pink with a cream throat. It grows to a 
height of 54” with a 24” flower-head. It opens up to seven 4” florets with 7 more 
showing color. Propogation is extremely rapid. 
While it wins easily for us in the 342 class, we believe its greatest value is as a 
cut-flower. The purity of its color caused local florists to ask for it again and again 
this past summer.
