dull its rich coloring. The flowers are 
large and full, beautifully rounded and 
well spaced on the widely branched

ELSA SASS (H. P. Sass 1939) M. 36 in. 
This exquisite new iris was only intro¬ 
duced last year and is already well 
known. It is the color of pure powdered 
sulphur and of the sample named sulphur 
in the Dictionary of Color. The color 
named sulphur in Ridgeway is very pale 
so that the flower is really more like the 
one called Martins Yellow or the Pale 
Greenish Yellow of Ridgeway. The large, 
ruffled flowers are like huge dishes of 
lemon ice and are just as cool and le- 
freshing. The white flush in the center 
ot the falls gives the flower a winsome 
charm. Good plant growth, excellent 
blooming and branching habits add to its 
value. H. M. 1939, R. 90, 1939. $20.00 
EL TOVAR (H. P. Sass 1933) L. 36 in. A
