From Carl Salbach catalog, 1934: NEON (Salbach 1934). One of the brightest iris in the garden, hence the name. When this iris came into full bloom it was the most popular iris in our trial bed, although blooming in competition with a large number of the finest new American and foreign varieties. Due to the bronzy gold of the standards and the velvety carmine of the falls, Neon offers a glowing richnessthat we know of in no other iris of this type. The bright gold of the beard and on the haft blend into the bronzy gold of the standards to give the flower its attractive brilliance. Disregarding size, form, or habit, and making a direct comparison to Fro and Iris King for color nly, we find that Neon is so much richer that it makes the color tones of both variegatas appear pale and wan. A perfect example of good candelabrum type stalk, 48 in., carrying a full quota of blooms and buds. Has been tested and found hardy under severe wintering. See color picture page 7. $15.00.
From Carl Salbach catalog, 1938: Description of photo below of Neon: Rich, yet vivid, the variety NEON has been, for several years, one of the showiest iris in our garden and it is now down to a price that will permit its use in many, many gardens. Incidentally, the color picture of Neon also gives a good idea of the sensationally vivid Radiant, a Carl Salbach creation introduced in 1936. The standards of Radiant are almost identical to the color shown for the standards of Neon; the falls are of more brilliant coppery red. Neon is actually richer, but not quite as bright as shown here. The standards are a trifle more bronze and less orange, and the falls a darker red (almost black) than shown.
