The World’s Finest Tall Bearded Iris 
A ll of my Toll Bearded Iris ore now grown at my forms at Grandview, in the famous Yakima Valley, in the State of 
Washington, one of the most fertile valleys in the world, and will be sent to you direct from there. These Yakima 
Valley grown rhizomes have extra vigour to withstand the coldest and most unfavorable climatic conditions, because, 
while the soil is packed with natural fertility, and of just the right texture and quality to produce the finest rhizomes, we 
have in the Yakima Valley the severe freezing weather of the North Country, with the hot summers of the south. So 
North, South, East or West you will get better results from Waymon's Yakima Valley grown stock, more flowers the first 
year, better plant growth and more increase under normal conditions. Notwithstanding all this the prices are lower. 
Hybridizers all over the world have for many years been vying to outdo each other in the production of new and 
outstanding qualities in the Tall Bearded Iris. The result is that we now have creations that eclipse the wildest imagina¬ 
tions of a few years ago, rivaling the extravagant loveliness of the wings of a butterfly and reproducing the marvelous colors 
of rarest jewels. You may now enjoy the sparkling beauty of rarest gems in your garden os well os in your jewel box. 
Some seem to be dusted with gold dust or covered with frost. Even the Black Iris finally made its appearance; not a 
real dead block of course, but appearing so at a distance of a few feet, much the same as the black tulip. From pure snow- 
white to soft flesh and soft pink and blue, on through the scale to the deepest and richest shades, nothing is omitted. Not 
only have we been given entrancing new colors and blends, but also gigantic size and height, in silky and plush-like tex¬ 
tures, and the most exquisite fragrance, for the fragrance of every other flower has been captured by the Iris. 
Every variety listed here is an aristocrat of the Iris family, deserving a place in a collection of "The World's Finest 
Iris". Some of them are inexpensive because the supply of them permits a very low price, but all are of outstanding beauty. 
Therefore if you wish to make an inexpensive selection from this catalogue you may do so with the assurance that you 
are getting superb and unusual varieties that will be the admiration of your neighborhood. 
T HE varieties that are enclosed in a black border are all winners of the Dykes Memorial Medal. This medal can be 
I awarded to ONLY ONE IRIS EACH YEAR in America. The care with which it is awarded gives assurance that 
the winner of this medal is the outstanding Iris of the year. The American Iris Society has a jury of Iris connoisseurs, 
located all over the United States, to judge, evaluate, rate and criticize each new arrival. This jury of accredited 
judges consists of about 150 members. Any Iris that runs the gauntlet of this group of judges and is awarded the 
Dykes Medal is in a class which leaves no room for argument as to its superior quality. A similar Award is made 
annually in England and France with equal care, the Dykes Medal being an Award of the Iris Society of England. 
Tall Bearded Iris may be planted any time when the ground is not frozen, the months of August and September 
being best. They are hardy anywhere. CULTURAL DIRECTIONS WILL ACCOMPANY ALL SHIPMENTS. 
Prices Are For One Plant. 
S—means Standards or upper petals. F—means Falls, or lower petals. 
I DO NOT MEET THE PRICES OF OTHER GROWERS. 
I MAKE THE PRICE FOR THEM TO MEET IF THEY CAN. 
Those who quote higher prices than mine in their catalogue 
and then agree to meet lower quotations (with many 
reservations) to those who are fortunate enough to know 
what others are quoting, while at the same time charging 
higher prices to those who are not posted, should not be 
encouraged in such practise.
