(ES HARDY DERENNIAL PLANTS: |I/) 
New Golden=Yellow 
German Iris 
“ SHERWIN-WRIGHT ” 
In this grand novelty we have what has long 
been wanted, a good vigorous growing, free-flow- 
ering, 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 Honorabilis, 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 yellow without markings or shadings. 
We are fortunate in having secured the entire stock 
which is limited. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz.
