10 FLYING CLOUD FARMS 

‘SURFSIDE (Winsor-1937)—Surfside has the vigorous growth of Picardy and the spikes are 
very tall; field grown spikes from large bulbs average eighteen to twenty buds with seven 
or more 5%” blooms open. The beautifully ruffied white blooms have a slight pencil line 
in the throat and are of great substance. Bulblets are plentiful and germinate easily. It 
blooms readily in the field from bulblets and we cut many saleable spikes from them late in 
the season. Surfside is a midseason variety, blooming here in about eighty days when 
planted after May 10. A great variety for the exhibitor as well as the commercial grower. 
L 50c, M 30c, S 15c, Bits. 12-50c. 
‘THISTLE DEW (pronounced this'll do) (Winsor-1938)—A dandy light pink with a peachy 
cream throat slightly peppered pink. The large florets are a bit ruffled and lay flat 
against the stem on the long graceful spikes with as many as seven or eight open at once. 
In past seasons it has won many awards and much acclaim. L 80c, M 50c, S 25¢, 
Bits. 10-80c. . 
WAMPUM (Winsor-1938)—Large, round, flat, slightly ruffled florets of a dark smoky rose 
with an attractive white feather dusted a bit at the edges. The long, heavy spikes are 
ideal for exhibition with about eight open out of eighteen or more buds. This variety 
won a Commendation from the New England Gladiolus Society and has won at several 
shows as well as receiving much other favorable comment. Very good propagator. 
L 80c, M 50c, S 25c, Bits. 10-80c.

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 varieties 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 understand clearly that they must 
not expect us to replace them if they do not germinate. Of course a big per cent usually will 
grow anyway but if they are valuable ones, and are cracked before planting, and then kepe well 
watered, the per cent that grow will be much increased. While we will always select the 
largest bulblets available of the ordered variety, you must remember that some: warieties: never 
make large bulblets; others always make bulblets long and narrow, from the shape of a kernel of 
wheat to that of an oat.
