Crested Iris 
In this group the “Beard” of the Bearded Iris is replaced by a Crest, 
like a cock’s comb, the crest being of the same substance as the petals. 
The markings on some of them remind one of bits of hand painted 
porcelain. Flower in May (a month earlier in the South). 
Planting and cultural directions accompany all shipments.

Dainty soft amethyst blue, with a touch of gold at the throat. Beauti- 
fully fringed and crested. Prefers a semi-shady location, where it will 
carpet the ground with color, and with a luxuriant grass-like foliage

W inter Flowering Iris 
Unguicularis, also known as “Stylosa”’ is one of our 
most interesting Iris Species. It isa native of Asia Minor, 
Algeria, and Northern Syria; but like other rare and in- 
teresting 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.

Lacustris—4 in. The tiniest of all—a smaller Cristata from 
the sandy shores of Lake Michigan. Flowers during April 
and early May and again intermittently through the sum- 
mer. Requires a sunny, sandy location .35¢ ea., $3.50 doz. 
Milesii—36 in. Claret-purple flowers resembling Tectorum 
illustrated above, but on tall wiry branching stems. From 
the Himalayan Mountains. Very rare. .35¢ ea., $3.50 doz. 
Paltec—24 in. A most unusual cross between a Crested Iris 
and a Tall Bearded Iris (Pallida x Tectorum). One of the 
fortunate results of this very unusual cross is that Paltec is 
more or less everblooming. The flower is very much like 
Tectorum, illustrated above, of a uniform self blue color, 
but it has both the crest of the Crested Iris and the Beard 
of the Bearded Iris, the Beard being superimposed on top
