Our New Introductions For 1942 
A. L. STEPHEN (Winsor-Moseley)——A most outstanding large decorative which has already 
received its Award of Merit from the New England Gladiolus Society. The parents of 
this variety are Alpheus (Errey) and Picardy, and it shows its parentage in the color com- 
bination and the pleasing, slightly ruffled, shape of florets. This variety received much 
admiration at Boston this year and at previous seedling meetings. The ground color 
is rose dorn with an attractive spectrum red spot in the throat. Tall, straight, spikes, 
of well placed blooms, and five or six florets open at once, are characteristic of this 
variety. Price—$5.00 each for any size bulb, Bits. 75c¢ each. 
CAPE COD (Winsor-Moseley) —Here is the variety which many of our customers have been 
asking for. It received its Award of Merit from the New England Gladiolus Society 
this past season and also a Vote of Commendation from the Maryland Trial Gardens. 
An exhibition variety with perfectly placed blooms of glistening lilac pink and a creamy 
throat overlaid with a slight feather of deeper self. Price—-$5.00 each for any size 
bulb, Blts. 75¢ each. 
ODELLIA (Winsor-Moseley)—Showy red-orange prim with a large yellow blotch in the throat. 
The willowy spikes, characteristic of a small decorative, with five or six florets open, 
are nice in a bouquet by themselves or when mixed with other flowers. This is offered 
to meet the demand for a few small flowered varieties which some of our customers 
want. Large only—3 for $1.00. 
SYLVIA TWING (Winsor-Moseley) —A lovely platinum pink flower, a bit more creamy in 
the throat where there are pencillings of a deeper self color. A typical large decorative 
variety, it has been most popular with us as a cut flower. It has received so much 
attention in our field that we have decided, upon request, to offer it to the public. 
This is not an inferior variety but our stock is so large, we are offering it at a special 
introductory price. Any size bulb—$1.00. 

Flying Cloud Farms’ Introductions 
BANCROFT WINSOR (Winsor-Moseley 1941)—A handsome flower which has won much 
acclaim in the several years past, and which was much admired by Mr. Winsor while we 
were still building up our stock. A variety we deem worthy of this name. Tall stately 
spikes of perfectly placed, light orange, florets which do not burn or fade in the sun. 
The lovely, large, slightly ruffled, orange florets have a deeper and more reddish plume 
in the throat. Ridgeway color is grenadine pink with a spectrum red throat. L $2.50, 
M $1.50, S $1.00, Blts. 20c each. 
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 
commercial 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 15e¢ 
each or 2-25c, M 10c, S 3-15c, Bits. 10-15c. 

“IT am pleased to tell you that the first glad to bloom was Buffette and it was awarded first 
prize in its color class for me at the Blue Ridge Show. Surfside was awarded prize for 
Champion Three Spike Vase.”—W. H., Maryland.
