It was not so long ago that really first class yellow iris were an extreme scarcity. It is a vivid contrast to compare today the wealth 
of superior varieties that have been evolved. And improvement is continuing apace particularly in the additional creation of the lemon 
shaded yellows as well as the more brilliant butter yellows generally forecast by Golden Hind. 
Of the new lemon-ice series Elsa Sass is cool and lovely. Sahara is a classic formed silken primrose. Lady Paramount and Salutation 
are both good varieties. 
Just a shade deeper, probably due to the combination of gold in their coloring, we have charming Fair Elaine, a bicolor of cream and 
rich gold, flaring Song of Gold, about the only flaring yellow we have. Treasure Island is broad and full. Happy Days when grown right 
is often the largest yellow. Golden Bear is one of the finest later flowering yellows. Many yellows are fairly early to bloom. 
The richest yellows, a gorgeous class, are lead by magnificent Spun Gold brilliant and the only velvety yellow. Golden Spike is a 
rich tone, close to, if not larger than, Happy Days. A fine grower with us is refined Méng Yellow, a wonderful plant. Jasmania very 
close to the top bracket is smooth banana yellow. Go/den Hind though not as large is one of the most colorful, buttercup yellows. We 
think Golden Majesty is destined to be one of the bulwarks of this entire class, a clear deep and brilliant yellow, ideal form. It is almost 
unfair to deny Noontide a spot, a very smooth buff-yellow; Je//oway butter yellow; ever-so-much-liked California Gold deserves a place in 
our elite 100 Best. They are all splendid. Lwcrezéa Bort is about the most ruffled flower. Swndust is a mellow creation with a hint of 
taffy giving it considerable merit.

We cannot understand why there is not more interest in good cream iris. When we consider the great popularity of Go/den Treasure, 
the golden-throated cream, this seems very unusual. These iris are indispensables in the garden picture. Go/den Fleece is the gold edged 
cream, a beautiful contrast. Pure cream throughout and substance like leather Snoqualmie has to be seen to be truly appreciated. Its 
coloring is like enamel. New Caroline Burr with just a hint of breath of lemon in its cream coloring promises possibly to bring new 
values to this inviting class.
