In 1966 The American Iris Society awarded the
first Hans and Jacob Sass Medal. This medal is restricted to intermediate
bearded (IB) irises. The IBs are 16-27” tall with flowers that are
3½"-5" wide. The IBs fit both in size and bloom time between the SDBs
and the TBs. The Hans and Jacob Sass Medals are provided by the Median Iris
Society and named in honor of Hans Sass (1868-1949) and Jacob Sass (1872-1945).
