From AIS Bulletin #129, April 1953. Introducing Senorita Ilsa. (ROGERS 1953). A large homozygous recessive white self from two fine blues, with excellent form, substance, height, branching and ruffling; having domed standards and rounded falls, unusually broad at the haft; pictured at Page 9 of Bulletin 127; neither a cold nor a hot white,but white, that is, white even to the crest, the anther, the stigma and the beard; with absolutely no haft markings; a white that appears wholly devoid of all color; as pure and lovely as the tiny dewdrop that glistens in iridescent splendor on the tip of the lifted tail of a Texas bull as he slowly rises from his grassy couch in the early morn and, filling his mighty lungs with the pure ozone of the open prairie, proudly lifts his haughty head and loudly hellows his superb satisfaction in the shimmering face of the rising sun! H.C., AIS, 1952. Net $20.00.
