ELSA SASS 
CORITICA (Sass 1940): M. 30 in. A very fine yellow plicata 
sharply etched with a warm brown. Not as large as Balmung but 
deeper in color. Many consider this yellow plicata to one of the 
finest Iris to come from the Sass gardens. Each 75¢; 3 for $2.00 
CORNFLOWER (Whiting 1948): L.M. 36 in. A really blue self. 
While this Iris is not one of the largest it is one of the bluest. 
Darker than Great Lakes it has excellent form with well domed 
standards and flaring falls with good branching.

CORONET (Hall 1938): L. 38 in. A lustrous golden tan with a 
rose-beige undertone that grows to a height of 38 inches. It is a

and substance. Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 
COSETTE (Sass 1936): E. 30 in. A very early white Iris with large 
flowers of perfect form and a prodigious bloomer. It is not un- 
usual for this Iris to be the first to bloom in our gardens and 
continue to bloom along with all others. H.M. by A.I.S. 
Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 
COUNTRY LASS (Walker 1947): E.M. 30 in. These slightly 
ruffled flowers of good size are light rose blend overlaid with 
buff. The dense beard is orange and sets off the rest of the flow- 
er to a fine advantage. We find that it is a good bloomer and a 
popular Iris. Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 
COURTIER (Hall 1944): 30 in. This is the deepest in color of 
all the flamingo-pinks brought out to date. It is of outstanding 
color and while it is not as large as Cherie it does have sturdy 
stems and fine branching. The tangerine beard is prominent and 
the Iris is hardy. Rhizomes from Courtier are small. 
Each $3.50 
CRYSTAL BEAUTY (Sass 1935): M. 40 in. A gorgeous clear 
pure snow-white of huge size on stalks that are very stately.

is rich velvety red, with very little of the blue or purple under- 
tone. The blooms are of great size, on tall heavy stems and 
last over a long season. This is one of the older Irises that is 
always in demand and is hard to keep in stock. A Dykes Medal
