G72 Robinson Crusoe— This 
is the most unusual colored 
gladiolus we have ever seen. 
It is a creation of that wizard 
of new glads and peonies, Mr. 
E. H. Lins. Everyone who saw 
it at our place last summer sim- 
ply fell in love with it. The 
flowers are very large, beauti- 
fully ruffled, with 6 to 8 flowers 
open at once on a tall massive 
spike. No other glad in the 
world like it. The basic color is 
tan, heavily marbled with rosy- 
chocolate. The most unique 
Glad ever created, it is a sensa- 
tion. We have only a few hun- 
dred for sale. See page 55.

Here are just a few unsolicited letters. They tell better than 
we can what our customers think of Inter-State Glads.

we wish you to know they are all of that and more. No one in our 
neighborhood has any such flowers.” 
Joun M. Berry, Indianapolis, Ind. July 9, 1947. 
“T am writing to express our deep appreciation for your wonderful 
Glads. We sent to three different places for glad bulbs and yours 
far exceed any of the others.”’ 
Mrs. Mitton DEMoRANVILLE, Mass. August 9, 1947. 
“I won first prize on a basket of glads at our County Fair last 
year on glads I have been getting from you the last two years. 
Also first on a small basket of glads for table decorations.”

Doris E, SHEPARDSON, Ansley, Nebr. Jan. 10, 1947. 
‘I wish to write a few words to tell you about the glad bulbs I

proud of them. I took them to church and gave lots away. 
Everybody that saw them thought they were the most beautiful 
they had ever seen grown in a garden. I love flowers and enjoy 
giving them to others and your flowers, all I have received, have 
been lovely.”’
