IRIS 
SUNSET SERENADE (J. Sass, 1943) Each $1.00 
Introduced as the best of Sass’s Prairie Sunset seedlings to date. 
A soft golden tan or light apricot-buff, lighter in tone than the 
parent. When you consider that there have been thousands of 
seedlings grown from Prairie Sunset, and the originator himself 
selects this as the best one in the lot, it must be some iris.
