Flying Cloud Farms’ Introductions 
A. L. STEPHEN (Winsor-Moseley 1942) —An outstanding large decorative which 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 combination and 
the pleasing slightly ruffled shape of the florets. The ground color is rose doree 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. L $1.25, M 75e, 
S 50c, Bits. 10¢ each. 
BANCROFT WINSOR (Winsor-Moseley 1941)—A handsome flower which has won much 
acclaim in the past several years and 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 florets have a deeper and more reddish plume in 
the throat., Ridgway color is grenadine pink with a spectrum red throat. L 75c, M 50c, 
Bits. 3-25c. 
BUFFETTE (Winsor 1937) —This buff variety is an extremely strong tall grower with wide 
dark green foliage. 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. 10-12 perfectly placed florets 
open at once. It is a fine commercial and being extra early adds to its value for this 
purpose... L 2-15c, M 5-15c, S 5-10c, Bits. 30-10c. 
CAPE COD (Winsor-Moseley 1942)—An exhibition variety with perfectly placed blooms of 
glistening lilac pink and a creamy throat overlaid with a slight feather of deeper self. 
Received its Award of Merit from the N. E. G. S. and a Vote of Commendation from the 
Maryland Trial Gardens. L $1.50, M $1.00, S 60c, Bits. 3-50c. 
CAPEHEART (Winsor 1938)—-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 makes it a valuable commercial as well as an exhibitor’s 
variety. L 2-15¢c, M 4-15c, S 4-10c, Bits. 30-15c. 
EVENING LIGHT (Winsor-Moseley 1943) —A fine commercial and show bench variety which 
has won much acclaim in the last few years. The large, wide open, plain petaled florets 
of peach pink with a cream and rose throat are well placed on tall straight spikes. The 
lovely clear peach color with the rosy pink throat is a most striking combination and one 
which has proven most popular. L $1.50, M $1.00, S 75c, Blts. 25¢ each. 
GARDEN OF THE NATIONS (Winsor-Moseley 1939)—The color is a clear cerise rose with 
each petal edged silver; this combination of color makes a decided impression when one 
sees it for the first time. The spikes are strong and straight, the placement and spacing 
of the buds is right; five or six open blooms on a sixteen to eighteen bud spike is average 
for this variety. The individual florets are of good size and it would be classed as a 
decorative. Garden of the Nations is a seedling of Sir Hubert Wilkins and Red Lory. 
L 25c, M 15c, S 10c, Bits. 10-15c. 
HONEYMOON (Winsor 1938)—Peach pink, suffused deeper at the edges of the petals, going 
to a lighter shade in the throat where there is a creamy blotch with a slight garnet feather. 
The ruffled florets are of great substance with about eight large blooms open on a tall 
twenty bud exhibition spike. L 20c, M 15c, S$ 2-15c, Bits. 10-15¢.
