Minnewashta (Lins) 
In sections where late varieties will bloom before frost, this should fill the bill for a 
good strong growing orange. Is one of my late good cutflowers. Is a very healthy variety 
and makes sound bulbs and large bulblets. The Michigan State College, Dept. of 
Botany declared it FUSARIUM RESISTANT. Makes tall strong plants with large 
light orange wide open florets of heavy substance.

Rio Rita (Lins) 
Large formal exhibition ruffled orange. Is considered one of the very best oranges 
and should not be confused with so-called ‘‘salmon oranges.” 
Can build massive spikes, easily opening eight 5 to 5% inch wide open orange 
florets of good substance. 
When cut in bud will open large florets to the last tip bud. Have had cut spikes 
of this last 10 days in the house. 
Due to late season it did not bloom in time for most shows in 1945. 
Blooms in around 95 days. Is a slow opener, so allow a few days for cut spikes to 
reach their prime. 
Has an enviable record of awards to its credit. AWARDS OF MERIT from the 
Maryland Trial Ground, Legion Trial Grounds, Butler Trophy, Best Recent Introduc- 
tion Awards, Champion and Firsts. 
Mrs. Geo. Vawter, of Lexington, Ohio, wrote: ‘‘Rio Rita opened nine gorgeous 
blooms! Rio Rita’s color is so lovely it hurts, if you have ever experienced that 
feeling.”

Stoplight (Lins 1942) 
Stoplight is now generally accepted as one of the top notch commercial and show 
varieties. As predicted when introduced, it is already being grown in large quantities 
by commercial cutflower growers and within a few years will be grown by the millions. 
STOPLIGHT has about everything required of a good commercial. Spikes are 
always straight. Has good long flower heads. The color of the ruffled florets, which 
are of heavy substance and heat resistant, is brilliant florist red. It is a very heavy 
propagator. Bulblets grow easily and if watered when needed, will produce good 
saleable spikes. Produces good spikes from all sized bulbs. 
As a show flower Stoplight can win in any show where representative spikes are 
shown.

From Chas. B. Haggith, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada: “I was particularly impressed 
with Stoplight. ‘These gave me dandy blooms. The spikes were as straight as could 
be and color outstanding. The increase was excellent. This looks like the best new 
light scarlet I have tried.”
