King Tut H.P. Sass, 1926 TB L S6D, From Cooley's Gardens catalog for 1937: "One of the inherant qualities of the many new Sass irises is the element of rich red-brown in the various color schemes. This has been accomplished through the use of King Tut in the various crosses, and in spite of his almost countless progeny, the King still remains the most brilliant of all, blazing in the sunlight like a live ember. Easy to grow, a free flowerer. Every iris grower should have it."
