Treasure Island (Lins 1947) 
Class 540 
Ruffled light orchid pink. Tall, stately TREASURE ISLAND is not just another 
pink. Its large, ruffled and fluted florets are always perfectly placed and well 
attached. Its exquisite light orchid-pink color, its tall, stately, always straight 
plants, and its good growing habits place TREASURE ISLAND among the aristocrats 
of the glad world. All growers who have tried this beauty, and who have no baby 
of their own to push ahead, are unanimous in their praise, and predict a rosy future 
for TREASURE ISLAND. Has excellent commercial possibilities.

“Of the very few bulbs of TREASURE ISLAND that I have, I have my first 
bloom. This pink is a knock-out. I cut mine when the first flower was open and 
it now has 6 open.” Mr. Merle D Allen, Minnesota.

“The extremely hot weather which we had during the blooming season of 1947 
took its toll of this (54) class along with most of the other glads in my patch. I had 
but one bulb of BLACK PANTHER. and this was not cut until Friday morning before 
the Springfield show. There was no sign of burning and it held up fine even after a 
one hundred fifty mile trip out of water. The heat in the showroom at Springfield 
was terrific but BLACK PANTHER stood up fine and even looked good the second 
day. I like it very much” Mr. Rex L. Williams, Dlinois. 
Feb. 3, 1948. 
“BLACK PANTHER the best black red I saw last summer. Want this for my 
hybridizing work with dark reds. Had one bulb and it performed beautifully. No 
burning in the hot sun and opened flat—something I have never before seen in any 
black red.” Mr. Kenneth M. Weale, Massachusetts.
