CINNAMON TOAST (Sass 1953) M.L. 36 in. This new plicata from the Sass gardens has just 
about all the good points one could ask for. Not since Ruth Pollock have we seen such 
perfection of form and coloring in this type of iris. The flower is large with very 
broad petals of heavy substance and satiny finish. The ground color is deep creamy 
ivory and it has a broad border of rich red brown so heavily sanded that it is very 
nearly a solid edging. The plants are robust and produce strong well branched stalks.

COTTON CANDY (Sass 1953) M.L. 36 in. | was very pleased when Mr. Sass gave me per- 
mission to name and introduce this pink. Since | first mentioned this under number 
in my article on Hybridizing Hints | have had innumerable requests for further 
information on it and for plants. A pure self, the color seems to come from the very 
depths of the petals, giving the whole flower a glowing effect. A deep pink beard 
and broad rounded petals as well as a flaring horizontal form are added assets. The 
color of this has always reminded me of the beautiful pink spun sugar candy so 
common at county fairs. Hence the name. | think you will like this and believe you 
will find it to be a very valuable parent. A good stock permits the reasonable price.

COUNTRY BUTTER (Sass 1953) M.L. 36 in. A medium to large flower of semi-flaring, rather 
globular form. A self of deep butter yellow with a rich gold beard, this has very 
heavy substance and a smooth, shining finish. Should prove an interesting breeder 
due to its unusual parentage. A good stock permits the low price.

FANCY FAIRY (Sass 1953) M.L. 38 in. A descendent of Pretty Pansy, this is a deeper and 
brighter version of that variety. The ground color of this is chalk white and the over- 
lay is a bright glowing blue that is quite heavily and very smoothly applied. The 
pattern at the throat is of clean white and a pale beard further accents the pansy like 
appearance of the flower. Strong excellently branched stalks.

MEMORIES (Sass 1953) M.L. 36 in. This is the very lovely new pink from the Sass gardens 
that has received so much publicity recently, both locally and in the east where Mr. 
Harrison is growing it. A family tree chart was given of this in the Region 1 bulletin 
along with a descriptive write up. The flowers are quite large, with broad heavily 
substanced petals and excellent form. The color is a rich medium pink that is bright- 
ened by a full pink beard. Plants are very hardy and produce strong excellently 
branched stalks. Named in honor of Mrs. Jacob Sass, we feel the Sass family couldn’t 
have chosen a lovelier iris for the purpose.

MOBY DICK (Sass 1953) M. 38 in. If you like them big, then this is “IT”. A really enormous 
white of clean pure coloring and excellent form. The petals are very broad and nicely 
ruffled with the standards neatly domed and the falls semi-flaring. Stalks are large 
and strong with good branching and the rhizomes are in turn equally large with very 
broad foliage. A big one in every way, this is still a graceful iris and one that will 
probably be a sensation in the showroom.

PRAIRIE JEWELL (Sass 1953) M.L. 38 in. A very striking bicolor that might well be called 
a pink and red amoena. One of the many new and unusual breaks coming from the 
pink lines, this is a particularly beautiful one as well as a most promising parent. 
The flowers are large with broad petals and the form is rather oval, quite reminiscent 
of that of Helen Collingwood. The standards are clear shell pink and the falls are 
dark Dahlia red, the color going clear into the throat with no haft markings. A vivid 
red beard accents the color and a gleaming enamel like finish further heightens the 
jewel like effect. A good grower with strong, nicely branched stalks.
