Among any iris group a lively discussion is assured by asking the question, “What is the best yellow?’’ It is complicated, too, 
because of the wonderful range of tones we now have. The varieties listed above are so superior to other yellows that they are stand¬ 
outs. If you select from the above list you can be sure you are getting a fine yellow iris. 
In the soft primrose tints two fine examples are trim, classic Alice Harding and even larger, copiously formed, early flowering Salu¬ 
tation. 
In the medium yellows two striking iris personalities are cream and yellow, demure Fair Elaine and richly enameled, smooth Eclador. 
Sahara is a silken beauty of splendid form. Outstanding too, is the only flaring yellow. Song of Gold. It is hard to deny place in the 
100 Best to several other fine varieties as sulphur yellow Chosen, chaste Lady Paramount, or blended Treasure Island. 
In the rich, deep yellows we have that ever reliable variety California Gold, worthy of a place in every garden. Then there is that 
sensational new iris which we honestly believe to be the best yellow today. Spun Gold. We say this after having seen most all of the 
new yellows on our iris tour last year. Older, but known for their surprising sii.e, are Happy Days and Ming Yellow. Glowing like a 
buttercup is treasure laden Golden Hind. Trimly formed and good colored is warm, yellow Jasmania. Golden Majesty is one of the high¬ 
est rating new yellows, well formed and richly endowed with color, very impressive.

There is a delicacy and charm about these lovely colored beauties that make them among the most endearing of iris. Gleaming, 
golden-throated Golden Treasure is the leader with splendid Snoqualmie, a cream self, nearly equally as fine. Other warm throated kinds 
include chaste Kalinga, old-ivory Lagos, sprightly Sunmist. Smooth, glossy, even creams include Old Parchment, picotee Spring Prom 
and leather-textured Wm. Carey Jones. 
Table Iris 
This charming group of iris bloom with the tall bearded iris but must not be compared with them. The ideal is a small flower 
with wiry stems and slender foliage, making them valuable for table decoration or planting in front of iris borders.
