Although yellow is present in every iris "blend,” when it becomes the dominant color in an iris we place it in this section. Rich 
and subtle are the tones of many of these new sorts: cafe-au-lait JeanCayeux, brightly burnished Golden Light, salmony Mary Geddes, and 
the ever lovely King Midas. Popular sorts are novel Clara Noyes and sprightly little Euphony. Especially fine blends are Dr. Kirkland’s 
Summer Tan and Copper Lustre, Mr. White’s unique Fiesta, orangy Naranja, Far West, beige and saffron, and our own fawn-gold Capri.

Recent years have witnessed an extraordinary improvement in our yellow irises, which now rival even the blues themselves in 
size and height. We have distinguished four depths of color in this section, so that everyone may secure just the depth of tone he de¬ 
sires for his plantings. Remember that light yellows and creams are even more valuable than the deep gold colors for their harmonizing 
effects in the garden. We especially recommend Golden Treasure, glowing cream and gold, pale self-colored Kalinga, soft-toned Alice 
Harding, Phehus, a very chic iris of medium size, and the incomparable Eclador. For a real nugget in the deep tones try California Gold 
or the newer Golden Hind.
