From Cooley's Garden 1959 catalog: ALALOA (Gibson, 1959) Each $20.00. Lemon-yellow with a lighter area in the center of the falls. Remember the old variety Elsa Sass? This is a somewhat similar color arrangement but the comparison is hardly adequate. Alaloa ("Little Song") is a hugh blossom, very wide and full, the standards broad, domed and glistening. Falls flare and possess a heavy enamel-like texture. It is a flower for foreground planting since its height is only about two feet. There is surely a definite place for plants of such stature and you will be thrilled with this one! Seedling No. 32-3D.
