From Maple Valley Iris Gardens catalog, 1937: OZONE (J. Sass 1935) L. 36 in. A captivating new blend that appeals to everyone who sees it. A smooth, even tone of mauve with a pink sheen, most effectively marked by a rosy brown signal patch at the side of the beard. Most unusual and difficult to describe to give any idea of its charm. Tall, beautifully formed and well carried. H. M., 1936. $10.00.
McCombs, Lila (1948). A Critical Evaluation of Older Irises. The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 110(July 1948): 59. Jacob Sass drew a startling breath of beauty out of the ether when he created and named Ozone. The huge, perfectly formed blossom of this distinctive variety is a peculiar shade of lilac-rose with a broad, unveined brown haft its only contrast. (McCombs, 1948).
