FLYING CLOUD FARMS INC. 
TANGERINE (Morrison, Australia)—An exquisite variety producing tall graceful spikes of 
large glowing orange flowers. A decided improvement on La Paloma. This variety is 
outstanding as a decorative and should be a valuable commercial because of its strong 
growth. It bloomed freely from bulblets in ordinary field culture from August 1st on. 
Now the price will permit the commercial growers to give it a trial. L 2-15c, M 3-10c, 
S 6-15c, Bits. 35-lOc. 
TANIWHA (New Zealand)—Very large flowers, salmon pink slightly smoky with a cherry 
red blotch. L $1.00, M 60c, S 35c, Bits. 2-20c. 
TASMAN (Julyan) -—Rich geranium pink with lips more creamy and pencilled with crimson. 
The very large round florets are of extra good substance and slightly ruffled. A wonder¬ 
ful exhibition glad that opens up to ten florets at one time. Truly a wonderful glad 
and it has been very popular with us. L $1.50, M $1.00, S 40c, Bits. 2-25c. 
THISTLE DEW (Winsor, U. S.)—See Flying Cloud Farms’ introductions. 
THREE LO (Burgess, Australia)—A long spike with about twelve large flowers, well placed, 
on a strong stem. Very reliable in producing exhibition spikes as it is a healthy vigorous 
grower. The color is rose, slightly flecked a deep shade, with a carmine blotch on a 
creamy throat. A good propagator although the bulblets are small. F.CC. at Austra¬ 
lian Trial Grounds. L 20c, M 15c, S 10c, Bits. 10-15c. 
TIP TOP (Pfitzer)—This new clear red scarlet, which is a tall grower, produces very large 
flowers with about seven open at once. It is one of Pfitzer’s very best and with R. Y. 
Mair makes a pair hard to beat. Which is the best is hard to say so you better grow 
them both and decide for yourself. L 20c, M 15c, S 10c, Bits. 10- 15c. 
TOA (Miller)—Light orange salmon, bit on the color lines of Pftizer’s Triumph, and the 
same wide open type of bloom. L 25c, M 1 5c, S 1 0c, Bits. 1 0-20c. 
TRAUMEREI (Pfitzer)—Enormous light lavender florets make this variety a delegate for 
the “giant” class. Although it only opens about six or seven blooms, it makes a tre¬ 
mendous spike due to the large florets and long flower head. L 35c, M 25c, S 20c, 
Bits. 4-25c. 
TRAUERMANTEL (Pfi tzer)—A rather new one that is two shades of violet; the lower 
petals being of the darker shade. This makes a real nice novelty and there are no others 
of this color combination. L 75c, M 40c, S 25c, Bits. 2-15c. 
UPPER TEN (Alkemade, H olland)—A new orange scarlet with a white line in the throat. 
The color is extremely good, makes a nice clean spike and is a good propagator. L 20c, 
M 1 5c, S 10c, Bits. 10-15c. 
VATER RHEIM (Barth, Germany)—Bright carmine red, spotted darker. Very large flowers 
well arranged on the spike. A nice new variety. L $1.00, M 60c, S 35c, Bits. 2-20c. 
VELA (Heemskerk, Holland)—Bright rose red making long spikes with flowers well placed. 
A pretty one! F.C.C., Haarlem, 1937. L $1.00, M 50c, S 35c, Bits. 2-20c. 
VERONICA (Errey)—This good purple self, typically Australian, will prove a valuable addition 
to this rather weak color section. L 20c, M 15c, S 10c, Bits. 10-15c. 
WAIKAWA (Burns, Australia)—F.C.C., 1935. Warm rich rosine pink with light cherry 
blotch, outlined with cream. Nicely ruffled, wide open flower of perfect form. Looks 
to be a good one. L $6.00, M $4.00, S $2.00, Bits. 50c each. 
WAIRAU (Julyan, New Zealand)—A large slightly ruffled variety. Ground color of pale 
salmon brightening to an orange tint with a distinct border of lavender gray; throat 
markings are cream with crimson effects. A good strong grower which easily opens 
eight or more to make it a good exhibition variety. L 75c, M 50c, S 25c, Bits. 3-20c.
