July Flowering Iris 
GORGEOUS SUMMER-BLOOMING JAPANESE IRIS 
<7A// r '0X\Y J than a thousand years of patient work on the part of 
Z-S (J L Japanese gardeners have made the Japanese Iris the most 
showy of all flowers. Many Iris gardens in Japan have been handed 
down from father to son for centuries, remaining in one family for 
hundreds of years, and during all this time the work of improving the 
Japanese Iris has gone forward. Today nothing equals the gorgeous 
beauty of the Japanese Iris. 
Some of my friends, who know much of my life has been devoted 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 flowers in the garden are scarce. 
Each year I import new varieties from Japan until my present collection 
has become, I am sure, the largest and finest in the United States. 
Visitors are always welcome.

August Flowering Iris 
IRIS DICHOTOMA 
Rare Chinese Species 
This lovely Iris is a native 
of Manchuria and Northern 
China, but has now been 
brought to our American gar¬ 
dens 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, beautifully 
marked and of unique form 
and habit. The flowers open 
about three o’clock in the 
afternoon (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.

September Flowering 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 season 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 
Iris Unguicularis is a native of Algeria, Asia Minor, 
and Northern Syria; but like other rare and interest¬ 
ing 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 
throughout the winter months. There are two principal colors, a lovely 
blue and an exquisite white, and they are charming as cut flowers.
