From Maple Valley catalog 1939: ROYAL COACH (H. P. Sass 1939) M. 36 in. Another fine new Sass iris which we have the privilege of jointly Introducing. A beautiful yellow plicata described by Mr. Fishburn as "what the average Iris fancier imagines a yellow plicata ought to be. It has much more yellow and less stitching than most of this series." It is indeed a clean bright yellow with a neat brown stitching on the edges. The flowers are smoothly rounded and beautifully proportioned, the stalk is well branched and carries the flowers proudly. We think the name is very appropriate for it has grace, dignity and royal bearing. Like all Sass irises, it is hardy. prolific and free flowering. $10.00.
