FLYING CLOUD FARMS 
QUEEN MARY (Mair, Scotland) — Prob¬ 
ably the most famous of all Mair's 
originations having won many 
championships all over the world. 
In some sections it does not do its 
best and sometimes it shows pink 
or lavender at the edges of the 
petals but usually comes a cream 
self. A spike of Queen Mary with 
a dozen beautifully formed flowers 
open will remain in one's memory 
for a long time. L 15c, M 2-15c, 
S 3-15c, Bits. 25-15c. 
RAMSAY MacDONALD (Pfitzer, Ger¬ 
many) — A fine new purple self 
that is the best of this color we 
had the past season; better than 
Paul Pfitzer, Troubadour and Dick¬ 
ens. The best purple I have seen 
to date. L 75c, M 50c, S 25c, Bits. 
3-20c. 
RANGITATA (Julyan, New Zealand) — 
A scarlet vermilion ground which 
becomes a bit darker at the edges 
of the petals and the throat is a 
deeper vermilion shaded carmine. 
It opens nearly half the buds of a 
long spike at one time. This variety 
may be classed with Mrs. S. A. 
Errey. L 40c, M 25c, S 15c, Bits. 
10-25C. 
RANGITIKI (Julyan, New Zealand) — 
Pale delicate salmon tinted with 
purple mauve towards outer edges. 
The throat is deep salmon with 
clear carmine striping. Tall strong 
grower with extra large well placed 
florets. L 40c, M 25c, S 15c, Bits. 
10-25C. 
RATANA (Burns, New Zealand) — A 
wonderful dark red which is slight¬ 
ly ruffled and the two lower petals 
appear to be fluted. There is a 
darker red throat which adds to 
the rich velvety appearance of this 
glad. Long spikes open eight or 
ten florets at one time. L $1.00, 
M 75c, S 50c, Bits. 2-20c. 
RECORDER (Whiteley, New Zealand )— 
This rather new (1933) variety is 
of the usual Miss Whiteley type. 
The color is purplish violet, bright¬ 
er than Gertrude Swenson, with a 
deeper throat. L 75c, M 50c, S 
25c, Bits. 3-20c. 
RED GIANT (Phillips, Australia) — One 
of the three placed in the mammoth 
class at Ballarat. The flower spike 
is about thirty inches in length, 
strong and straight with up to eight 
perfectly placed blooms open at 
once. Color is a bright cerise 
rather than red, darker in the 
throat and a white line in petals. 
Many visitors to my garden re¬ 
marked it was the color of an 
American Beauty rose. I like it 
better than any of the other so- 
called Giants. Stocks of it are 
very scarce. L $4.00, M $2.50, 
S $1.50, Bits. 40c each. 
RED KNIGHT (Mair, Scotland) — A 
bright peach red shading darker 
with a white throat and lighter mid¬ 
ribs in lower petals. A very color¬ 
ful glad. L $1.50, M $1.00, S 60c, 
Bits. 15c. each. 
RED LORY (Errey, Australia) — A real 
wonder for exhibition and spikes 
with twelve to fourteen open are 
common. Many times it has been 
champion of shows in Australia, 
New Zealand and U. S. The large 
flowers are carmine rose with a 
deeper red blotch and come well 
placed on an extra tall spike. Now 
that it is so low in price it should 
be in every garden. L 2-12c, M 4- 
15c. S 10-15C. Bits. 75-15C. 
REVALUATION (Heemskerk, Holland) 
—A clear orange red with a bright 
carmine throat. One of Heemskerk's 
best and much admired in my gar¬ 
den last season. L 35c, M 25c, S 
15c, Bits. 5-15c. 
A Wisconsin customer writes: — ''From Bagdad bulbs I received from you last year I 
had champion spike at our state fair at Milwaukee; nine, seven inch bottom blooms open."
