New Golden=Yellow German Iris 



"SHERWIN-WRIGHT" 



In this grand novelty we have what has long been wanted, a 

 good vigorous growing, free -flowering, golden yellow German 

 Iris. 



The few yellow sorts now in commerce being deficient in these 

 important characteristics. 



This novelty was discovered in a plantation of the variety Hon- 

 orabilis, and whether it is a chance 

 seedling or a sport of that vigorous 

 growing, free-flowering sort has not 

 been established. 



The plants grow about two feet 

 high; the flowers which are produced 

 in lavish profusion are of splendid 

 texture and stand well above the 

 foliage, and are of a rich golden yel- 

 low without markings or shadings. 



This splendid novelty was sold last spring at $1.00 each, but it being a 

 strong, free grower, we have been successful in greatly increasing our stock, 

 which enables us to offer it this season at 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.
