From Sass catalog, 1937: MIDGARD (H. P. Sass, 1926)- The best known and most popular pink and yellow blend, always in demand. An iris of exquisite coloring and has firm, heavy substance. Both standards and falls yellow with a flush of clear pink. A strong grower and free bloomer. 39 inches. 25c.
From Sarah Toedt’s Springtime Gardens catalog, 1929: Midgard - Sass Bros. received more orders for this new pink Iris than for any other of their own introductions during the National Iris Show’s duration in 1928. The large heavy textured flowers are bright pink overlaid with a silvery tone, blending to yellow on the haft. Midgard and cream white Thalictrum aquilegiafolium planted where a gazing globe will reflect the beauty of the blooms should make an attractive garden picture.
 
MIDGARD. Three years ago this was hailed as the best production ever turned out by the Sass Brothers. The yellow-pink blended flowers introduced a new color note, and it became immediately so popular that there has never been sufficient stock to supply the demand. It is one of the most reliable new varieties for severe climates, besides being a very free bloomer and rapid multiplier. Its future is assured. Each $1.50; three for $3.75; ten for $10.00 _Cooley's Wholesale pricelist, 1932
