YELLOW GLORY (K. Smith 1942) M. L. This iris is well named for it is most glorious in the garden. Strong and sturdy, this outstanding yellow has larger flowers than 'Yellow Jewel' and is liked by many Judges even better. The standards are wax yellow, very broad and full. The large falls are lemon chrome, arched and semiflaring. The very large flowers have style and quality, and it ranks high among the best yellows. I have watched and admired this iris for several years, and the only fault is that after transplanting it is a bit slow in getting true height of stalk, but when it does all garden visitors are most enthusiasic in their praise. Three branches and terminal bloom. H. C.. A. I. S. 1941. R. 88 in 1941. Net $15.00. [Fairmount Gardens Catalog. Summer 1942, Spring 1943, Lowell, Massachusetts]
