AN IRIS LOVER’S CATALOG 
3 
and the falls literally coal black (not dull 
but richly lustrous). The substance of 
this iris is the heaviest we know and the 
resultant sheen the most lustrous we have 
ever seen in an iris. Size: Medium large; 
branching fair to good (see picture on 
opposite page); height 34". A really 
beautiful iris that should go a long way 
because of its novelty. 
Price, each $ 20.00 
Salutation (David Hall 1938) 
A large light yellow with tightly domed 
standards and a pleasant suggestion of 
ruffling. The deep orange beard is con¬ 
spicuously large. A self color with fine 
substance and very good branching. Height 
about 36 inches. In the yellow color sec¬ 
tion, now so well populated with excel¬ 
lent new varieties, there is room for this 
newcomer, because of its extreme earliness 
of season. Salutation comes into bloom 
with the late intermediates when there is 
no other large yellow. Height 33". 
Price, each $ 15.00 
Matterhorn (J. Sass 1938) 
Of the many excellent white seedlings 
secured by the Sass’s, this was our choice 
as the best. A white of faultless, beauti¬ 
fully rounded form, generous size, and 
without a trace of foreign color, save for 
the cream colored beard. The haft is 
utterly devoid of markings, producing a 
chase immaculate serenity such as is re¬ 
served for only true self colors, most of 
all for a true white self. A sparkling 
sheen, firm substance, broad flaring falls, 
and splendid branching complete the qual¬ 
ifications of this delightful — and im¬ 
portant— new white iris. Height 38". 
Like all our introductions Matterhorn is 
perfectly hardy. 
Price, each $ 15.00 
Lily of Lincoln (H. Sass 1937) 
The most dashing of iris personalities: 
a huge variegata of bright gold standards 
and vivid red falls. Even Mr. Hans Sass 
must have been surprised at his first en¬ 
counter with such a vivid fellow among 
his seedlings. City of Lincoln has taken the 
iris world by storm. It leaves little to be 
desired in the variegata class. Substance, 
height, and branching are well up to 
modern standards. 42" inches height.
