NEW GOLDEN-YELLOW GEKTAN IRIS 
“ SHERWIN-WRIGHT” 
In this grand variety we have what has long been 
wanted, a good vigorous growing, free-flowering golden- 
yellow German Iris, the few yellow sorts now in com- 
merce being deficient in these important characteristics. 
This 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 
tich golden yellow without markings or shadings. 50 
cts. each; $5.00 per doz.
