Tlie World’s Finest Iris 
The Sass Brothers are the leading breeders of intermediate irises in the 
world and have developed this early blooming class into a range of color, 
size and quality of bloom that rivals the tall bearded class and gives a com¬ 
plete garden of irises two weeks before the tall bearded class. They have 
also worked extensively and have developed quantities of dwarf irises of the 
highest quality and have now in process of development a series of fall 
blooming irises.
