From Sass catalog, 1948: MRS. WILLARD JAQUES (35-39) (Jacob Sass, 1938)- A pinkish toned blend of No-We-Ta and Clara Noyes type. Very beautiful. 25c
Mrs. Willard Jacques has a longer season of bloom than most irises; its short stalks send out surprise buds after its season seems over. The substance of the large, ruffled flowers is poor and the standards are inclined to open, but the coloring is memorable, a warm, bronzy pink, the cinnamon haft marks blending into the color of the very long falls. [Lila McCombs, “A Critical Evaluation of Older Irises”, The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 110 (July 1948): 58.]
