You may wonder how new Iris are created. The hybrid- 
izers take the pollen from a selected plant and put it on 
another. When the seed is matured it is planted. The 
small plants are then transplanted into blocks. When they 
bloom, those which show the most promise of being out- 
standing are then planted into a block by themselves and — 
are carefully watched. The standards of the Sass Brothers 
are so high that only a very few are named and introduced 
at prices from $15.00 to $100.00 each. Yet those which 
are not named are very fine, superior to the general list of 
Iris varieties. We bought from the Sass’s a block of their 
selected seedlings at a special price and we are passing this 
saving right on to you so that you can have right in your 
own garden some of these marvelous new Sass Iris, noted 
for their exquisite colors, new blends, freedom of bloom 
and the great vigor and hardiness of the plants. We 
guarantee these to please you when they bloom.
