LINS ORIGINATIONS 
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.

334—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 $1.00 Medium $.75 Small $.50 Bulblets 10—$1.50 
450—BLAZE 
Often referred to as a Red Picardy. The color is pure intense scarlet red. The 
average height spikes are willowy and do not crook. Opens around 5-6 plain petaled 
florets on long flower head. Large bulbs produce more than one spike, some growers 
do not consider this a fault. For specimen spikes disbud to one eye. Produces a 
tremendous amount of bulblets that grow easily. The Maryland Trial Grounds 
awarded it an AWARD OF MERIT. 
Large 10—$.80 Medium 10—$.60 Small 10—$.40 Bulblets 100—$.50; 1,000—$2.50 
380—BELTRAMI (1943) 
A very pretty deep toned rose mulberry. Beltrami will produce 4 to 44% foot 
spikes on a long willowy stem with 18 to 20 buds. The florets are 5 to 5% inches. 
Large $.20 Medium $.15 Small $.10 Bulblets 10—$.20 
490—ROBINSON CRUSOE (1944) 
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 $1.25 Medium $1.00 Small $.50 
Bulblets 2—$.30 10—$1.20 

Daisy Mae and Robinson Crusoe were two of the 
top glads in my garden of over 150 varieties last sum- 
mer. Daisy Mae gave me 3 exhibition spikes out of 2 
bulbs and this fall, when dug, yielded a very large sup- 
ply of quality bulblets. Robinson Crusoe gave me 
some wonderful spikes, that were admired by all who 
saw them. Bulblets even produced creditable spikes. 
I would place these two glads at the very head of Lins 
originations for their strong coloring and excellent 
performance. Incidentally all the other varieties in my 
orders from you have been very satisfactory, with clean 
bulbs and generous overcount.
