OZONE (J. Sass 1935) M. L. 36 in. This 
has been one of our prime favorites for 
years and it still is. A smooth toned 
mauve self with a luminousity that is like 
a play of light over its iridescent surface. 
It is enhanced by a smudge of copper at 
the haft as harmonious as the chestnut 
throat marking of a cliff swallow. Excel- 
lent form, substance, plant growth and 
blooming habits make this an all round 
good iris. It is pleasantly fragrant. H. 
M, 1936; A. M. 1938; Per. R::90, 1936.  50c 
PATRICIA (H. P. Sass 1939) M. 36 in. 
This charmingly frilled, white iris is win- 
ning many friends. The edges of all of 
the petals are heavily ruffled which not 
only makes it dainty in appearance but 
adds to its ability to withstand heat and 
wind. It looks delicate and even fragile 
but holds up with the best of them. It is 
of very clear, frosty white and sweetly 
fragrant, We are sure you will like it. H.

PRAIRIE SUNSET (H. P. Sass 1939) M. 
L. 38 in. Often described as the most 
beautiful iris in commerce, this lovely 
Sass introduction has held this distinction 
against all comers. Its permanent rating 
of 93 is one of the highest ever given’an 
iris by the judges of the American Iris 
Society. Only two others have received 
this rating—Snowking and The Red Doug- 
las—and they are both Sass frises. The 
color.ng of Prairie Sunset is so beautiful 
as to almost beggar description—its 
smooth blending of rose and gold being 
different from any sample in the color 
charts. In checking it with Ridgway, Mr. 
Sass found it to be close to onion skin 
pink over vinaceous tawny. The Diction- 
ary of Color has a sample called rose am- 
ber which is very close and perhaps more 
descriptive. Watch for the soft, warm 
rosy golden glow in the late sunset sky in 
the prairie country and you will see this 
gorgeous color. The flowers are large, 
full petaled and slightly ruffled and are 
borne on strong, adequately branched 
stalks. The plants are strong and per- 
fectly hardy, blooming freely. H. M.
