GORGEOUS SUMMER-BLOOMING JAPANESE IRIS 
More than a thousand years of patient work on the part of 
Japanese gardeners have made the Japanese Iris the most showy 
of all Howers. Many Iris gardens in Japan have been handed down 
from father to son for centuries, remaining in one family for hun¬ 
dreds of years, and during all this time the work of improving the 
Japanese Iris has gone forward. Today nothing equals the gor¬ 
geous beauty of the Japanese Iris. 
Some of my friends, who know much of my life has been de¬ 
voted to Bearded Iris, will be shocked at my statement that, with 
my present experience and knowledge, if I had to choose just one 
group of Iris, it would be the Japanese Iris. The huge, showy 
flowers are indispensable in any garden. They are prodigious 
bloomers, and produce a marvelous garden picture at a time when 
other Howers in the garden are scarce. 
Each year I import new varieties from Japan until my present collec¬ 
tion has become, I am sure, the largest and finest in the United States. 
Visitors are always welcome. 
GORGEOUS SUMMER-BLOOMING 
JAPANESE IRIS COLLECTION 
This collection will be personally selected by me and each variety will 
be carefully labeled. It will be planned so as to give a complete color range, 
no two alike. There will be giant singles and doubles; mottled, striped and 
blended effects; soft pastel colors and gorgeously brilliant ones. Some will 
produce flowers as large as a dinner plate. None of your favorites will be 
omitted. You could not possibly choose as fine a collection as I will select 
for you.

August Flowering 
IRIS DICHOTOMA 
Rare Chinese Species 
This lovely Iris is a native of Manchuria 
and Northern China, hut has now been brought 
to our American gardens where it flowers pro¬ 
fusely for a full month during midsummer, when 
no other Iris are in bloom. 
The thin wiry stems grow from 30 to 36 inches 
in height, and are more branched than any other 
member of the Iris family. A single flower 
stalk on an established plant will produce 100 
or more flowers in a season. The dainty soft 
violet flowers are about 2 inches across, beauti¬ 
fully marked and of unique form and habit. 
The flowers open about three o’clock in the af¬ 
ternoon (you can set your watch by them) and 
last only one day, a new crop of flowers appearing each day for four weeks or 
more. 
This is one of the rarest and most interesting of all Iris Species, being 
comparatively unknown in America, but it deserves a place in every garden. 
It is hardy anywhere and of the easiest possible culture, requiring no special 
care. You will enjoy having Iris Dichotoma in your garden. 
Dichotoma fills a niche in the calendar where no other Iris can take its 
place. It is, therefore, indispensable in our program for lengthening the season 
of Iris bloom. It bridges the gap between the Gorgeous Japanese Iris and the 
rare new autumn-blooming Bearded Iris.

AUTUMN FLOWERING IRISES 
A few years ago there were no Autumn Flowering Iris. This new race of 
Bearded Iris is one of the most recent triumphs of the hybridizer’s skill. They 
have two distinct flowering seasons, blossoming in the Spring, along with other 
early flowering varieties, and then again in the Autumn from September until 
frost. You may now have a complete Iris garden in the Fall as well as at other 
seasons of the year. These Autumn Flowering Irises are sure to be a sensation 
in your community. They are all quite hardy, requiring no special care.

WINTER FLOWERING IRISES 
Iris Unguicularis is a native of Algeria, Asia Minor, 
and Northern Syria; but like other rare and interesting 
Iris Species that have been sought out from every nook 
and corner of the earth, these may now be had from 
the Wayman gardens, to be enjoyed in your own garden, 
to the mystification of your friends. They will not flower 
in the summertime, but persist in flowering during the 
winter months in the North in the protection of a cold 
frame or in a sheltered spot. The plants have stood 17 
degrees below zero in my garden without injury. From Virginia South they 
bloom during the winter out of doors. Contrary to all normal rules, they 
seem to require frost to form their flower buds and bring out their flowers. 
Their flowering period usually begins during December and continues through¬ 
out the winter months. There are two principal colors, a lovely blue and an 
exquisite white, and they are charming as cut flowers.
