“This is the yellow we have been looking for” 
is the comment of a northern commercial grower. 
It did not bloom in proper time to enter in the 
1946 seedling shows, but did remarkably well in 
Vermont. It is a perfectly clear, light yellow 
with two shades darker lip and no inner throat 
spots. The 5” to 5%” florets are wide open, a ~ 
little creased, of heavy texture and closely, firm- 
ly attached in informal arrangement. Five to six 
open and five to seven show color on a 50” to 54” 
spike, and head of nineteen buds. It is a good 
producer of high germinating bulblets. A recent 
development so present stock is very limited.
