LINS CRIGINATIONS 
The following varieties are the results of Mr. E. H. Lins of Cologne, Minnesota. 
These varieties are all very good performers with a wide color range. I have pur- 
chased the entire stock of Daisy Mae, half interest in Stoplight and Rio Rita and 
have good stocks of the other varieties.

ROBINSON CRUSOE (1944) 
This variety caused more comment than any I have 
ever grown. One couple was out to look at it and the 
better half made this remark, “Les, you will have to 
grow that one next year or I’m getting a divorce.” A 
novice glad fan saw me on the street one day and was 
telling me what a beautiful spike of Robinson Crusoe 
she had seen in the patch. She said, “I want a bulb 
of that.” Well being that she had only grown glads 
for a couple of years I figured she still would be in the 
lower priced varieties so I said, “They will be $1.50 for 
large bulbs. She came right back with “I don’t care 
how much they are—I want one. 
Here is what Mr. Carson of Murfreesboro, Tenn., 
has to say, “Enclosed please find snap I took of Robin- 
son Crusoe from a large bulb. It was really a master- 
piece of its kind. One would describe it as unique and 
by far the best of its kind.” 
Robinson Crusoe makes a wonderful exhibition 
spike with wide open 6-inch florets of very good sub- 
stance. The color is most unusual. The base color is 
tan, heavily marbled (not flecked) deep rose chocolate. 
This striking color combined with good plant habits 
and easy propagation promise to make this a contender 
for blue ribbons in A. O. C. Class. 
Large $1.50 Medium $1.00 Small $.75 
Bulblets 2—$.30 10—$1.20 

BLACK PANTHER (1943) 
This is the biggest and blackest red introduced to date. This big black rascal 
has a way with the fans because of its glowing sheen that makes it a very outstanding 
variety. Many a time have I heard the ladies say, “Oh! isn’t that just beautiful.” 
This will grow—4 to 5 feet, 5 to 5% inch florets, six open and 4 to 5 showing color. 
Flowerheads—22 to 23 inches with as many as 18 buds. 
Large $1.50 Medium $1.00 Small $.75 Bulblets 10—$1.50 
BLAZE 
Often referred to as a Red Picardy. The color is pure intense scarlet red. The 
average height spikes are willowy and do not crook. Opens around 5-6 plain petaled 
florets on long flower head. Large bulbs produce more than one spike, some growers 
do not consider this a fault. For specimen spikes disbud to one eye. Produces a 
tremendous amount of bulblets that grow easily. The Maryland Trial Grounds 
awarded it an AWARD OF MERIT. 
Large 10—$.80 Medium 10—$.60 Small 10—$.40 Bulblets 100—$.50; 1,000—$2.50 
CHOCOLATE CREAM 
Rich chocolate blending to a large conspicuous pure creamy white throat. The 
effect is beautiful. Blends well with light shades. Ordinarily builds good decorative 
spike but if given good culture will reward with an exhibition spike with eight open. 
Have never been able to grow enough of this. No bulblets offered this year. 
Large $.15 Medium $.10 Small 2—$.15 No bulblets this year
