Flying Cloud Farms' Introductions for 1938 
CAPEHEART (Winsor) 
Seedling number 0101C. This variety is a light salmon rose, deeper 
at the edges of the petals, with a slight rose feather in the throat. The 
blooms are larger than Miss New Zealand, field visitors measured several that 
were seven inches, and the color a great improvement on that variety. It 
makes fine long spikes of Picardy type although it is not a seedling of that 
variety, being bred from Ave Maria and A. E. Amos, a Scotch variety. Will 
open eight or nine blooms on a twenty bud spike. A good increaser and 
should be popular for both exhibition and florist work. It was shown at New 
York in 1935 and has received a Commendation from the New England 
Gladiolus Society. 
Price—$10.00 each for any size bulb 
HONEYMOON (Winsor) 
Seedling number 32-238A. Peach pink, suffused deeper at edges of 
the petals, going to a lighter shade in the throat where there is a creamy 
blotch with a slight garnet feather. The florets are of great substance, 
ruffled, with seven or eight open on a tall spike of eighteen to twenty 
buds. This seedling of Queen Mary is a very good bulblet producer and they 
grow easily, making good bulbs the first year. Much admired at several 
shows the past two years and Commendation from the New England Gladi¬ 
olus Society seedling committee. 
Price—$10.00 each for any size bulb 
THISTLE DEW (pronounced This’ll do) (Winsor) 
Seedling number 0184C. A light pink with a creamy throat slightly 
peppered. The ruffled florets are extra large and lay flat against the stem; 
the spike is tall with about seven or eight blooms open at once. In 1935 
this seedling was in my collection of ten seedlings at the Boston Show that 
was given the gold medal for the most outstanding entry in the show and 
many wrote after the show to see if it was being introduced that year. In 
1936 joe Coleman was hybridizing in our field and used many spikes for 
seed or pollen, and it has received a Commendation award from the New 
England Gladiolus Society. 
Price—$10.00 each for any size bulb 
WAMPUM (Winsor) 
Seedling number 32-357A. This dark smokv rose novelty has a white 
throat, slightly peppered. The large, slightly ruffled, flat, open blooms are 
of very fine texture, perfectly placed; about eight open on a eighteen bud 
spike. Surely a fine exhibition variety. In 1935 it rceived a Commendation 
and won at the Beverly Show while last season we had a large basket of it 
at Boston and it was among the seedlings sent to several other shows and 
about which we had favorable letters. "Our present field is on an old Indian 
campsite and each summer we find a fair lot of Indian relics while working 
in the field. When this seedling was first marked out we found a piece 
of wampum right side of the plant so called it by that name ever since. 
Price—$10.00 each any size bulb
