As I receive many thousands of small orders it is necessary for me to avoid the 
details of billing, bookkeeping and collecting these accounts. Therefore a check, 
money order, cash, or stamps should be sent with the order. In case cash or stamps 
are sent the letter should be registered for your protection. If you live on a Rural 
Route, your letter carrier will be glad to buy a money order for you. No shipments 
are made C. O. D., as we have found it very unsatisfactory. 
For several years I tried the experiment of prepaying the express charges or 
postage. While the amount paid on an individual order was usually very small, I 
have learned by experience that twenty or thirty thousand of such payments 
in a season wipes out all the profits, whereas if each purchaser will pay the small 
express charge on hia shipment, it will not be a hardship on anyone. I will therefore 
hereafter send everything by Express, charges collect, the small express charge to 
be paid to the express company on delivery of package. If shipment by parcels 
post is necessary, please include sufficient to cover postage.

Thirty Miles of Iris Rows 
Grandview, Washington, in the famous fertile 
Yakima Valley, is one of the most fertile spots in the 
world, the home of fine fruits, and magnificent flowers 
and bulbs. It is also the home of the Wayman Iris 
Ranch, and here, during last summer, I made a new 
planting of about thirty miles of Iris rows to supply the 
world with fine flowers in 1942 and 1943. 
Nestling down in a beautiful valley, surrounded by 
mountain ranges, it is a land of sunshine in the summer, 
and when I say sunshine I mean that it is about the 
hottest place on earth for weeks at a time during mid- 
summer. Then during the winter the weather man does 
an equally good job, with severe winters that test the 
stamina of man, beast and plants alike. These two ex- 
tremes of weather, with soil of just the right texture 
and quality, packed with natural fertility, produce the 
largest and finest Iris rhizomes I have ever seen, vigor- 
ous, healthy plants, ready to produce equally fine flow- 
ers wherever they are sent. North, South, East or 
West, whether you are in California or Canada, 
you will get Better Results from Wayman’s Irises. 
More Flowers the. First Year and Succeeding 
Years, larger and finer flowers, better plant 
growth, and more increase under normal condi- 
tions. You will be doing yourself a favor by buying 
these super-plants for your garden. 
On this Iris Ranch I grow only the Tall Bearded Iris, 
Autumn Flowering Iris and Miniature Bearded Iris, as 
described on Pages 1 to 34 inclusive, as well as the 
Pogocyclus Hybrids on Page 36 of this catalogue. All 
Tris of this type will be sent to you direct from Grand- 
view, Washington—and you will say they are the finest 
you have ever seen. 
All other Iris are grown at my 110 Acre Nursery 
in Northern New Jersey and will be sent to you 
direct from there. Japanese Iris, Siberian Iris and 
other Beardless types make finer growth and develop 
finer root systems there than any I have ever seen 
grown elsewhere. 
Peonies will be sent from Bayside or New Jersey. 
All orders will be filled with large, strong, 
healthy, flowering size plants and all plants are of 
course guaranteed true-to-name. There is no place 
in the world where this is more carefully guarded 
than in my gardens and on my farms. 
I always send the finest plants I have of the variety 
ordered. Each variety will of course be properly labeled 
and carefully packed. 
If you prefer to leave the selection to me, rather 
than decide upon it yourself, just give me an 
idea of what you would like and | will be pleased 
to give my personal attention to making the se- 
lection for you as carefully as though it were made 
for my own planting. | am sure you will be more 
than pleased with any selections | make for you. 
All prices are strictly net cash. Prices are per 
plant, excepting where otherwise stated. 
Planting and cultural directions will accom- 
pany all shipments.
