SASS IRISES—1937 I 
The Superiority of Sass Iri§£S has been thoroughly 
demonstrated by numerous awards to them culminating 
in the Dvkes Medal for 1932 to Mr. H. P. Sass’ Rameses. 
The points, of superiority that distinguish; Sass Irises 
are, Aral of ail, color. Other distinguishing qualities are 
complete hai'diness, vigor of growth, freedom of bloom 
and texture. 1 Grown under the rigorous conditions of 
Nebraska’s hot sun and drying winds, an iris must be of 
the firmest texture to withstand, them,. Many Ane Irises 
whieh are lacking in subsjt.apce cannot pe ; grown under 
Nebraska conditions. A Sass Iris will always stand up 
under any weather condition's. 
The Sass Brothers are the leading breeders of inter- 
mediate irises' and’ have developed this early blooming 
class into a range of color, size and quality of bloom that 
rivals the tail bearded class. 1 .They, have also -worked 
extensively and have developed qualities of Dwarf Irises 
of the highest -quality and-have' now in process of de¬ 
velopment a eeriest of; Fall Bloo.naing Irises. 
Iris grow easier and multiply faster than any other 
perennial. Plant tfifim in a sunny location that hasigood 
drainage. The-bulb ; or rhizome:should be planted just 
under the surface, .not too deep. The roots should be 
Spread-out and the soil packed around them. 
The r best “time to plant iris’‘is in July and August, 
although they can be transplanted at any time of the 
year when the ground is not frozen.
