FLYING CLOUD FARMS - - - NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 
color that is pleasing GERTRUDE GREY has proven of much interest and was on 
almost every list of “wanted ones” that was made in the field by visitors. GERTRUDE 
SWENSON, shown for the first time in competition, won at Boston and has become much 
in demand as the price has been reduced. For an early variety, I know of no new one 
that interests me as does GLADYS CLEGG and I feel it will go far. JOHN RAMSAY 
is a great smoky as well as the two old standbys OUR SELECTION and MOTHER 
MACHREE; but watch for OKARINA and the newer ISOLLA BELLA in this class. 
MINNOCK is one of our favorites here at Flying Cloud Farms and when all three of 
this “glad” family agree, I feel it must be good for we are surely getting to be a hard boiled 
bunch; any seedling that can get a unanimous vote of approval to mark it out here 
nowadays really ought to be a fair one. PIMPERNEL is another great favorite here and 
many are the arguments in the comparison of R. Y. MAIR versus TIP TOP. 
SNOWDEN as a white; YELLOW PERFECTION as a yellow; PROF. VON 
SLOGTERN as a pink and MR. WM. CUTHBERTSON as a pink and white, were very 
popular with the florists. ALLEMANIA is a new red more of a scarlet than KOEHL but 
very similar in type of spike and florets as well as growth. 
There are many other varieties I would like to mention but the descriptive list will 
give a good idea of them. We had many visitors the past season and all were most wel¬ 
come; to anyone coming to Cape Cod, our field is only a few miles off the main highway 
and we will be glad to give you directions to reach it easily if you will drop us a line 
telling us from which direction you are coming. 
Jumbo Bulbs for Exhibitors 
Many enthusiastic exhibitors have a very decided preference for a Jumbo bulb; that 
is a bulb that is larger than just a number one. They feel that the larger the bulb the 
better chance for a big spike, if handled as previously mentioned under “Growing Exhi¬ 
bition Spikes.” The large bulbs usually do not look quite so nice as the smaller sizes, 
however, we have Jumbo bulbs at this time in most of the medium priced show varieties 
and will send them at no extra charge over large bulbs, IF THE CUSTOMER WILL 
PAY THE CARRYING CHARGES. Should there be smaller sizes in the same order, 
we will add extra count on these ordered varieties or put in some extra varieties to offset 
their proportion of the shipping charges. 
Bulblets 
While we guarantee to satisfy our customers if it is possible, it must be understood that 
WE DO NOT GUARANTEE BULBLETS TO GROW. The bulblets of some varie¬ 
ties are hard to germinate and they need good care to get the best results. Bulblets are 
cheaper than bulbs because they are not so sure to grow. It is a cheap way to get a start 
especially in the new introductions but we want our customers to be sure they under¬ 
stand clearly that they must not expect us to replace them if they do not germinate. 
Of course, a big per cent will grow anyway, but if they are valuable ones and are cracked 
before planting and then kept well watered, the per cent that grow will be much increased. 
A client at Bellwood, Pennsylvania, writes us on Dec. 31, 1935:—“I consider your catalogue very good. 
The bulbs sent last year did exceedingly well. I appreciated the generous way in which the order was filled.”
