^^Spurias^^ (Finest Iris for Cut Flowers) 
T hese are so different from all other Beardless Species 
and Hybrids, and the number of them is so extensive, as 
to deserve a separate sub-division. The flowers are quite 
unlike all other Irises, and are very artistic, making exquisite 
cut flowers for which purpose they are used extensively by 
florists. They are hardy anywhere. While not indispensable 
to their success, they prefer a moist spot and make a most 
imposing effect in the garden. Cultural directions accompany 
all shipments.

Winter Flowering Iris 
U NGUICULARIS, also known as "Stylosa" is one of our most interesting Iris Species. It is a native of Asia Minor, Algeria 
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. 
IRIS UNGUICULARIS CANNOT BE MADE TO FLOWER DURING THE SUMMER, NO MATTER WHAT YOU MAY DO, 
but it persists in flowering during the winter months in the north in the protection of a cold frame. In the south they bloom 
out of doors during the winter months. Contrary to all normal rules, they seem to require a slight frost to form their flower 
buds and make them break out into blossom, their flowering period usually beginning during December and continuing 
throughout the winter months. The color is a lovely shade of blue and they are charming as cut flowers. Because a 
grouping of four plants is so attractive, I am making a special price for four. 1.00 each; 4 for 2.00 
Stylosa Alba —Lovely white form of above. 1.00 each; 3 for 2.50
