Desert Suu 
This is a cross of two unnamed seedlings. It is a pale gold, or creamy yellow-buff. 
The flowers are larger and fuller than those of Canary Queen. The first flowers are per- 
fectly clear in color, but during the dark winter months a slight deep pink variegation 
appears. This variegation makes the color more lively, and does not prevent it being 
used as a clear yellow. Like Canary Queen, in areas where there is little or no dark 
weather, there is little or no variegation. The stems are very tall. Production is high and 
steady. The keeping quality is splendid. There is some splitting, but this is very slight. 
This variety is our favorite, although it is not as true a yellow as Canary Queen. 
lt scored 85 points and received an Award of Merit at the New England New 
Variety Day. Our California grower says of DESERT SUN: “The buff-yellow 
lower is large, full and beautiful. This variety will pass as clear yellow, and 
| prefer it over Miller's Yellow in our area. Its production is much higher than 
that of Miller’s Yellow, and its fullness and size surpass any other yellow grown 
here.”
