DAISY MAE 
Seedling No. 3986—a Rio Rita X Seedling. Crossed in 1938. 
As I have purchased the entire stock of Daisy Mae from E. H. Lins of Cologne, 
Minn. I am offering my first introduction. This was the Champion Seedling at 
the Minnesota State Fair in 1944 with plenty of stiff competition. 
Originators description: This beautiful large formal type gladiolus of an orange 
pink color blended with a deeper throat mark. The wide open 5 to 5% inch florets 
are held with good placement on a long straight flower head of 20 buds. The plants 
have strong healthy foliage. Will grow from 5 to 5% feet high, blooms in about 95 
days. This will make a very good commercial as it gives heavy bulblet production 
with good germination. An excellent cut flower variety. 
Priced $2.50 any size bulbs — No Bulblets 
DREAM CASTLE (1943) 
This is a very beautiful light coral pink blending to lighter throat. The spike 
is straight with 6 to 8 and sometimes 10 or more open without the bottom floret 
wilting. The spike stands up straight until the last bud has opened. A coming 
commercial and I don’t mean maybe. 
Large $.75 Medium $.50 Small $.25 Bulblets 10—$.75 
FIANCEE (1943) 
This is an enlarged version of that beautiful variety Sweetheart. Has the same 
large conspicuous white throat blending to pale pink on the outer border of the 
petals, but the flowers are 5 to 6 inches across. A beautiful variety that will repay 
a little extra attention. Healthy and a good propagator. Large decorative type. 
Early Mid-season. 
Large $.35 Medium $.20 Small $.10 Bulblets 10—$.35 
STOPLIGHT (Lins) (90-95 days) 
STOPLIGHT as its name implies is a red, and a \ 
very pleasing red that will take to the florist trade. 4 
Beautifully ruffled large decorative type with 18 buds, 
6 wide open 5” florets on a flowerhead 22” long. Dark 
green healthy foliage. Produces a large quantity of 
bulblets that germinate nearly 100%. This extra good 
reproducing quality along with its most pleasing color 
will make this Glad a very good commercial. Growers 
get in on this variety early as it is a real find in the 
red class. Stoplight introduced in 1942 was a winner 
wherever shown this past season. I can still see the 
spikes of Stoplights in my garden, such beautiful 
straight spikes with such a delightful outstanding color. 
Large $.25 Medium $.20 Small $.10 
Bulblets 10—$.25; 100—$1.50; 1,000—$12.00
