From Fairmount Gardens catalog, 1946: 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. 40 in. $15.00
