EASTER GOLD (Essig 1946) M. L. One of the brightest 
yellows in the garden. In sharp contrast to Easter Candle 
it seems as if carved from pure gold. The flowers are not as 
large as some of the Essig iris but its pure golden color adds 
a new note in the yellow class. Smoothly finished flaring 
flowers with good branching and vigorous growth. A high 
ranking favorite that has great garden value. H. M.,
