ALL JAPANESE IRIS SOLD BY ME ARE CROWN IN THE UNITED STATES ON 
THE WAYMAN FARMS AND IN THE WAYMAN CARDENS 
R ARE and priceless examples of Japanese Art, in painting, sculpture, pottery, 
and textiles are enjoyed by us in our museums and galleries; and by the same 
token we are now able to revel in the delights of the loveliest of the Japanese 
Iris, in our own gardens. They are entrancing flowers, quaint and curious in 
form and brilliant in color; and their unique beauty arrests the attention of the 
passer-by and lends a rare distinction to your garden in the community. 
Japanese Iris adapt themselves obligingly to varied conditions. They will 
thrive on the edge of a pool or stream, sending down roots to the water level; yet 
they are equally at home under general garden treatment. In Japan they are 
often planted in sunken gardens, where the blossoms seem to grow right out of 
the water like a lily; but in Japanese homes it flowers to its fullest grandeur in 
pots and jars, and along the terraces and garden paths. Very lovely effects may 
be created by transplanting established clumps of Japanese Iris, just before the 
flowering season, to tubs placed in a pool, with the earth an inch or two under 
water, but as soon as they have finished blooming they should be replanted in 
their former situation. It is most practical and satisfactory, however, to arrange 
them in effective masses in the garden, and let them establish themselves permanently where they are to grow and develop season by 
season. 
The Japanese Iris glorifies Mid-Summer. It displays its charms when no other Iris is in bloom, and prolongs the flowering season 
long after Bearded Iris, Siberian Iris, and the numerous species and hybrids of Beardless Iris have spent their beauty. With practically 
no other large or conspicuous flowers in bloom in the garden, the Japanese Iris takes and holds the center of the stage for its spectacular 
pageant, and the attentive spectators are well repaid for their waiting. A Japanese Iris garden will literally stop traffic anywhere by 
its spectacular beauty. 
The Japanese names of many of the varieties are strange and difficult to Western ears and tongues, but many of them have 
poetic and practical significance and symbolism. I have retained the native names on my imported species, for fuller identification 
among collectors, and have appended interpretations when possible. 
Culture and care of Japanese Iris are simple, and full directions are furnished with all plants sent out. Make your own selections 
at the list prices, or take advantage of the special collections offered on the next page.
