Charles Gersdorff wrote, "BERTHA GERSDORFF (J. Sass) is often confused with MOONLIT SEA but I fail to understand why as they are so different. The former is clear lemon yellow from tip of standards to tip of falls, evenly picotee-edged with salmon pink (not stitched or veined as in plicatas), the edging to the fall having a very slight lilac tone. It is so unusual and beautiful that I do not understand vvhy it is being by-passed by the judges". (AIS Bulletin #96-FEB 1945, p. 46)
