GORGEOUS S U M M E R - B L O O M I N G JAPANESE IRIS 
M ORE than a thousand years of patient work on the part of 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 hun¬ 
dreds 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 gar¬ 
den picture at the 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. 
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.

AUTUMN FLOWERING IRIS 
Rare Chinese Species 
This lovely Iris is a native of 
Manchuria and Northern China, 
but has now been brought to 
our American gardens where it 
flowers profusely 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 pro¬ 
duce 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 Spe¬ 
cies, being comparatively un¬ 
known in America, but it 
deserves a place, in every garden. It is hardy everywhere 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 
Iris 
Dichotoma 
Bearded Iris. 
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 Iris are sure 
to be a sensation in your community. They are all quite hardy, requiring no special care.

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. 
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. The 
color is a lovely shade of blue. They are charming as cut flowers.
