STORM CLOUD 
HIGH FINANCE X TREASURY GOLD 
(About 90 days)...Dark smoky orange with small cream 
blotch with no markings. One of the few smokies that 
does not fleck. Will fade if left in bloom in very hot sun. 
Very light ruffling and wide flat open, not hooded. Very 
persistant in making near perfect formal type show 
spikes. 51% inch floret, 9 open, 21 buds, 27 inch head, 
60 inches overall. Excellent propagator. A truly lovely 
smoky. We are offering very little stock this year as 
Storm Cloud met with an accident in our bulb house just 
after digging. During one of our dumb moments about a 
dozen bulbs of a seedling were tossed in the largest tray 
of Storm Cloud, so we have to discard the bits, in that 
tray but will plant the bulbs and rogue when in bloom. 
This will set us back two years with this variety for which 
we are really sorry. Medium $2.50; Small $1.50; Blts, 
.30 or 10 for $2.50.
