Flying Cloud Farms’ Introductions 
BUFFETTE (Winsor-1937)—This new buff variety is an extremely strong tall grower with 
wide dark green foliage and we believe the best of all varieties of this color. It is a very 
fast propagator, giving large quantities of bulblets that germinate easily; it gives good com- 
mercial spikes from even the smallest bulbs, and blooms consistently from bulblets in 
regular field culture. It has been shown with eleven open blooms on a twenty-two bud 
spike, although it usually has eight open on an eighteen to twenty bud spike. The florets 
have a slight ruffle and the ends of the petals have a bit of the needle point type. It is a 
fine commercial and being extra early adds to its value for this purpose. L 40c, M 20c, 
S 10c, Bits. 10-25c. 
CAPEHEART (Winsor-1938)—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 over six inches with eight 
open on an eighteen bud spike. Although not a seedling of Picardy, it is similar to it in 
propagation, type of growth, and spike formation; in fact, before it was named, field 
visitors spoke of it as “‘that pink Picardy seedling.’’ It blooms about twenty days ahead of 
Picardy and especially for this reason it should make a valuable commercial as well as an 
exhibitor’s variety. L 80c, M 50c, S 25c, Bits. 10-80c. 
GARDEN OF THE NATIONS (Winsor-Moseley 1939)—The color is a clear cerise rose with 
each petal edged silver; this combination of color makes a decided impression when one 
sees it for the first time. The spikes are strong and straight, the placement and spacing 
of the buds is right; five or six open blooms on a sixteen to eighteen bud spike is average 
for this variety. The individual florets are of good size and it would be classed as a decor- 
ative. Garden of the Nation is a seedling of Sir Hubert Wilkins and Red Lory. L $2.00, 
M $1.60, S 80c, Bits. 15¢ each. 
GREY GHOST—A true dove gray colored glad which continues to receive much favorable com- 
ment in our garden. The tall graceful spikes open eight to ten of its regularly spaced 
florets at one time. A novelty to be sure but popular on the show table. L 50c, M 30c, 
S 15c, Bits. 4-15c. 
HONEYMOON (Winsor-1938)—Peach pink, suffused deeper at the edges of the petals, going 
to a lighter shade in the throat where there is a creamy blotch with a slight garnet feather. 
The ruffled florets are of great substance with about eight large blooms open on a tall 
twenty bud exhibition spike. As this variety is not as fast an increaser (possibly due to 
the Queen Mary parentage) as one might wish for a commercial variety, we think it is 
primarily a variety for the home garden and especially for the exhibitor. L 80c, M 50c, 
§ 25c, Bits. 10-80c. 
HOPEDALE (Winsor-Moseley 1940)—A delicate flesh pink with slightly lighter throat. The 
florets are large and well placed on a tall straight spike such as are true of its seed parent. 
Its fine texture shows good resistance to heat and does not show water spotting. Hope- 
dale makes a fine cut flower and has been very popular with our trade. L $3.00, M $2.00, 
S $1.00, Bits. 25¢ each. 
LUSTRE (Winsor-Moseley 1940)—A lovely light rosy pink that gets much lighter in the 
throat where it is overlaid by a most attractive lustrous cyclamen feather. The slightly 
ruffled edges of the petals are a bit darker than the pink ground color of the individual 
florets. A fine decorative glad. L $3.00, M $2.00, S $1.00, Blts. 25c¢ each. 
PRESTIGE (Winsor-Moseley 1939)—The color is a soft pink, slightly on the salmon tone, 
shading to cream as it goes into the throat. The florets are Picardy size but more ruf- 
fled. Eight open blooms are well placed on long flower heads that average several more 
buds than does its parent Picardy. The slight ruffling and the delicate coloring of this 
variety has made it very popular for a cut flower and the florists in this vicinity feel that 
Prestige has a fine future awaiting it. L $2.00, M $1.60, S 80c, Bits. 15¢ each. 
RED BANK (Winsor-Moseley 1939)—The spikes average eight open and carry eighteen buds. 
The florets are slightly larger than those of its parent, Commander Koehl, and set tightly 
against the spikes. The color is almost identical to Dr. Bennett; it has a small dark: 
feather edged with white in the throat. Certainly it was a pleasure to see every grower 
that came to the field so enthused over this variety. It is a much desired color, an extra 
good propagator, and makes nice bulbs. We have every confidence it will be a most 
popular variety. L $2.00, M $1.60, S 80c, Bits. 15c each. 
ROBERT SHIPPEE (Winsor-Moseley 1940)—Despite the beauty of many of the new glads, 
this variety still is the most beautiful we have seen. The ‘‘china’’ white florets are ruffled 
and enhanced by a dainty spot of rose color in the throat. The heavy texture of the 
florets makes it a fine cut flower for which the florists always ask. L $1.75, M $1.25, 
S 75c¢, Bits. 2-25c.
