Royal Robes (352) (Lins 1947) 
The color of this beautiful, intensely ruffled red is so rich and satisfying that no 
other name would do it justice. The round, wide open, well attached, very heavily 
ruffled florets, of heavy substance and superb texture are only medium size but like 
some other lovely medium glads do not require great size to make them exquisite. 
The plants are of medium height. It produces large amounts of large bulblets from 
all size bulbs. The bulblets germinate practically 100%. Blooms early midseason. 
Mr. Sjulin, of the Interstate Nurseries, visited our seedling garden in 1945. Al- 
though there were many good seedlings in bloom at that time, the seedling now named 
ROYAL ROBES impressed him so favorably that he insisted we sell him the entire 
stock. We did sell him half of the stock, which, when it bloomed in their nursery 
inspired Mr. Sjulin to write us an enthusiastic letter, expressing their satisfaction with 
and their delight in being associated with us in the introduction of this variety.

Dear Mr. Lins: Hamburg, Iowa, July 29, 1946 
Royal Robes has been blooming now for sometime and it is without question the 
finest red gladiolus that I have ever seen. I hope that is is just as beautiful with you 
as it is here. It seems to be everything. A beautiful color, good form, perfect place- 
ment, ruffled, good stem and healthy foliage. We are mighty proud to be associated 
with you in this gladiolus. 
Sincerely vours, INTER-STATE-NURSERIES, By L. R. Sjulin

Treasure Island (540) (Lins 1947) 
Large light orchid pink. The more we see of this large beautifully formed, ruffled 
light pink, the better we like it. 
It opens 5-6, 542-6 inch beautifully formed, wide open, perfectly placed and well 
attached florets on long flower heads on tall, always straight plants. 
Its exquisite rich color and good plant and growing habits place TREASURE 
ISLAND in the TOP GRADE. It blooms late midseason and is a good propagator. 
This is not “just another pink.” We believe it will be well received by the com- 
mercial cut flower grower as well as by the home gardener.
