Royal Robes (354) tins 1947 
Velvety, ruffled, rich deep red Royal Robes has many admirers among those who 
appreciate the smaller flowers. Its florets are not large nor are the plants tall, 
nevertheless whenever it is offered in our retail drive-in flower shop, customers buy it 
eagerly. The rich deep color of the ruffled carved florets is hard to resist. 
A bowl, or vase of rich red Royal Robes, with small white or yellow flowers is 
stunning. 
It is a pleasure to harvest Royal Robes bulbs, they are loaded with large bulb- 
lets which grow about 100% into plump healthy bulbs. Used as a seed or pollen 
parent it has produced beautiful seedlings ranging in shades from brilliant scarlet, 
thru red, violet purple, red purple, pansy purple to black red, all nicely ruffled. 
Here again, demand proves flowers do not need great size to be popular.

Treasure Island 540) tins 1947 
Giant ruffled beautifully formed, warm light 
rosy orchid pink Treasure Island combines size with 
perfection of form and high color value. Rosa Van 
Lima one of its parents, was and still is, one of the 
best cutflowers. ‘Treasure Island, besides being as 
dependable as Rosa Van Lima is much more beauti- 
ful and refined in spite of its large florets and vigor- 
ous growth. 
We are now growing this in quantity for cut- 
flowers. It is a pleasure to walk down the rows and 
cut spike after spike of perfect flowers because nearly 
all the spikes are No. 1 grade. To make a long story 
short, this is about as reliable and perfect a light 
pink as can be found. Cut flower growers not yet 
growing Treasure Island are invited to give it a trial. 
We are sure they will stock it heavily for cutflowers. 
Blooms early mid-season and it is a good propagator.
