INTERESTING INFO: From the 1935 Salbach Iris Catalog: A real triumph in yellow breeding which bids fair, in time, to become the most popular iris in the United States. An immense clear yellow most easily described as a yellow 'El Capitan,' although in established plantings the bloom will be slightly larger than those of the latter.
     Perfectly branched, with each stalk carrying seven or eight massive blooms. Color, clear pinard yellow, with the falls being a shade deeper than the standards, and the beard an attractive orange yellow. Unusual glistening finish.
     Although deriving in size from its Dykes parentage, the use of a clear yellow seedling as the other parent has eliminated and tendency toward flecking and fading.
     Blooms measure 7.25" from top to bottom, and 3.25" across the falls. Height 40". Flowers through the season.
     We venture to predict that Happy Days will remain sensationally outstanding as long as the remarkable Freida Mohr. Due to the heavy sale, we advise ordering early. $17.50.
