PERDITA 
We eb MS igeleke 4, 
(Aleta X Golden Goddess) 
Ruffled yellow with scarlet throat darts. Fifty-two 
inches tall, 26-inch flowerhead, 19 buds, 10 open, 6 
in color, 4Y2-inch florets. ‘The best of the yellows 
for me. Florets wide cpen, no drooping, no. clos- 
ing in the hot humid weather, plenty open | saw one 
with eleven — indeed everything | could ask in a Glad. 
The color is simply out of this world. Makes about 
as good a spike from small bulbs as large. Not a crook 
seen, florets plenty large enough and placement and 
facement excellent. I’m really sold on this one and 
very much tempted to rate it tops in its class, al- 
though one is always sticking his neck out on just 
one year’s look-see. | grew 135 new ones this year 
and | would feel quite positive that PERDITA would 
be among the ten best and | believe among the first 
five.’’ Quoted from report by John F. Cason, M.D. 
$5.00 per bulb any size and five bulblets
