Ranging from palest primrose to the richness of poured 
gold, carried with classic yet casual grace, the finer yellow- 
seifs constitute one of the high points of iris beauty. 
Among the lighter sorts, many-flowered Phebus of crisp, 
oval form and uniform lemon coloring stands out as a 
leader. Equally floriferous, is the old Pluie D’Or, a soft 
golden yellow. Eothen, soft toned, has good substance, 
flaring falls. Also of heavy substance are early blooming 
Desert Gold, and Helios, large and luminous. 
Pictured on page 12 is Eclador, one of the most captivat¬ 
ing of all iris, a softly fluted canary yellow of luxurious form. 
The magnolia finish of medium-toned Chromylla, is most 
attractive. W. R. Dykes, parent of many of the better 
yellows, is broad and crinkly. Robert, a new sort, is stron- 
tian yellow with a faint blue flush on the falls. A variable 
performer is Lady Paramount, deep primrose with a silken 
texture. 
In the deeper-toned group we have Happy Days, a well- 
branched golden-yellow of El Capitan size. In California 
Gold we reach the acme of color-intensity among the yellows. 
Smaller than Happy Days, it will nevertheless rival it in 
popularity. Both are incomparably more beautiful than 
the older Alta California, which while of peerless height, is 
too subdued in tone to meet expectations. 
Highly recommended in its price class is Coronation, a 
rich deep yellow of fine habits and medium size. Nebraska, 
ruffled, deeply colored, is most distinct in its upreaching 
oval form. One of the best yellow intermediates is bright 
golden Crysoro. Gold Imperial, medium-gold toned, is a good 
iris where profuse bloom is desired. 
The cream class, enticing in their bland, warm tints, 
continue our progression of color from yellow back to our 
starting point, white. Still comparatively few in number, 
their importance in landscape plantings cannot be overesti¬ 
mated. Two of them, Sylvia Lent and Dore, might be called 
bicolors in reverse; i.e. they have yellow standards and 
white falls. Dore appears to be the better. A nicely branched, 
broad type of flower is ivory-toned Kalinga. Sweet Alibi is 
a bubbling type, of similar coloring, but with primrose hafts. 
The heavy, crinkly substance of Sunmist is cool, frosty, 
shimmering as if filled with congealed light. 
On trial we have: Alice Harding, called the yellow with 
Princess Beatrice form; Eilah, a soft-toned medium-gold; 
and our own introductions, Lucrezia Bori and Golden Treas¬ 
ure, described in detail on page 1. Though we feel that both 
these iris are outstanding (the latter perhaps even more 
than the former), we are holding them in the trial section 
until they prove themselves in other parts of the country.
