1953 INTRODUCTIONS 
FROM BYRON R. KADEL., 
BLOSSOMTIME (Kadel) (440) [Journey’s End x Wright seedling] x [Myrna x 
(Mamie x New Era)] Blossomtime is more than a name—it is a description of the 
flower, a pure pink shading to a pure white center. It would be just as correct to call 
it white with a pink edge, the two colors merging imperceptibly into each other. It 
opens 7 large florets with 4 more showing color on a 19 bud spike. Flowerhead is 28 
inches long with the floret arrangement in a regular but informal manner. It blooms 
in 80 days. 
Among its show awards is the American Home Achievement Medal which it 
received at the Keystone State Society show in 1951. 
Price—$2.00 each any size bulb. 1 bulb and 10 bulblets, $4.00. 
10 bulbs, $16.00. 10 bulbs and 100 bulblets, $32.00. 
Bulblets sold only with bulbs. (No discount.) 
MIGHTY-WHITE (Kadel) (400) [(Maid of Orleans x Myrna) x (Maid of Orleans 
x White Triumphator)] x [Myrna x (Mamie x New Era)] Mighty-White is a larg:- 
flowering, pure white glad which opens 8 florets on an 18 bud spike. All of the un- 
opened buds show color. The petals have good substance and are slightly ruffled. 
This glad is recommended for cut flower purposes as it produces very desirable 
spikes from medium and number 5 bulbs. For show purposes, large bulbs should be 
disbudded as they frequently split and make three or four spikes. It is an early mid- 
season glad. Propagation is excellent. 
Price—$1.00 each any size bulb. 1 bulb and 10 bulblets, $2.00. 
10 bulbs, $8.00. 10 bulbs and 100 bulblets, $16.00. 
Bulblets sold only with bulbs. (No discount.) 
PEACE LIGHT (Kadel) (410) Gardenia x [Myrna x (Mamie x New Era)] Peace 
Light is a clear, medium, yellow with a soft greenish glow. Its large, wide-open florets 
with recurved petals are borne on a tall, strong stem. It opens 7 florets with 5 more 
showing color on an 18 bud spike. 
While Peace Light will doubtlessly hold its own on the show table, we feel that its 
greatest success will be as a cut flower. This opinion is based on its color value, its 
excellent substance, the fact that it is a tall, vigorous grower and that it propagates 
readily, making strong growth from bulblets. It grows 56 inches tall and blooms in 82 
days. 
Its unusual phosphorescent glow attracted much attention from the hobbyists and 
commercial growers who saw it exhibited at the Union, Havre de Grace, and Bing- 
hamton shows last summer. 
Price—$3.00 each any size bulb. 1 bulb and 10 bulblets, $5.00.
