| From Maple Valley Iris Garden catalog, 1945: CLOTH OF GOLD (No. 413) A brilliant deep yellow self from Golden Hind x Golden Spike. We sent a few of these out under number and have received several suggestions that it be named. Some have said that it is better than Golden Spike—well why shouldn’t it be? If the children are not better than their parents—what are we working for? The large flowers are wide and full, the standards well held, the falls quite flaring. The haft is smooth yellow and the heavy beard is orange. The 36 inch stalks branch well and the plants are very vigorous and perfectly hardy. $15.00. |
| From Cooley's catalog 1952: CLOTH OF GOLD (Whiting, 1945) Each $1.00. To say that this is another excellent deep yellow would attract scant interest. We saw a great many wonderful seedlings and new named varieties in Mrs. Whiting's Iowa garden. One of the best displays in the planting was a group of Cloth of Gold, deep in color, perfectly formed, tall and stately. We highly recommend it as one of the very finest yellows. HM AIS, 1947; AM, 1950. |
