Astonishing new colors and combinations of colors have been created 
until we now have Iris that rival the extravagant loveliness of the wings 
of a butterfly. There are richer blues, purer reds, better pinks, finer 
and larger yellows, other shades remind one of smooth ivory or fine 
porcelain. So delicate and almost ethereal are some as to have a true 
kinship with Orchids. Many are delightfully fragrant. 
Hundreds of varieties were selected by us from long lists of ardent 
hybridizers and specialists; were put through the exacting Wayside 
test and the best only we offer now to you. 
Give away some of your old ones and make room for these lovely 
new kinds. You will marvel at their beauty. 
(In our descriptions “S” denotes the standards or upper petals; 
“F” the falls or lower petals.) 

Alta California Each 25c, Doz. $2.50 
Is one of the tallest of the yellow Iris, and its branching qualifies it 
for “A” rating either as an individual stalk or as mass bloom. Yellow 
Iris have long been recognized as being the “‘spark’’ that brings out the 
fullest beauty of any Iris garden, and Alta California serves this purpose 
to perfection. 
Angelus Each 75c, Doz. $7.50 
In color a bright light pink, with slight lavender iridescence just below 
the lemon beard. Throughout the center there is a delicate infusion of 
lemon: yellow: Large, beautifully shaped flower, 3 feet tall, and very 
ate. 
Beowulf Each 50c, Doz. $5.00 
Rich velvety maroon unmarred by any haft venation. The coppery 
brown of the standards is repeated in a soft margining on the un- 
usually broad falls. The rich orange beard completes the glowing en- 
semble. Beowulf is the nearest true maroon of any Iris. 
Black Wings Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
A “black” Iris that is gorgeously deep in tone. S. deep fluorite violet; 
F. deeper fluorite violet, with black veins, and so very velvety that at 
some angles they are absolutely black. Blooms of good size, form, and 
substance, and a hardy plant. Very fragrant, and a great achievement 
in breeding, as it is very nearly black. 
Blue Velvet Each 20c, Doz. $2.00 
One of the most beautiful and appropriately named, as the entire flower 
seems to be cut out of velvet and the color is a deep intense blue. 
Buechley’s Giant Each 25c, Doz. $2.50 
A truly large flower of silky lavender-blue which because of its superior 
size, texture, and plant habits has displaced the older ‘‘Lord of June.”’ 
One of the largest of all Irises. Should be in every collection. 
California Gold Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
We consider this one of the finest deep yellow Iris introduced to date 
and think this is the concensus of opinion of others. It is simply superb, 
having a brilliance and purity of color and perfection of form and finish 
not approached by any other deep yellow Iris we have seen. The flowers 
are large and very freely produced. 
Christabel Each 75c, Doz. $7.50 
Red—and it will not disappoint the most exacting critic. For sheer bril- 
liance we rank it second only to the new Red Gleam of which there are 
only a few plants available. Glorious as a garden clump, almost a self, 
of large size, over 3 feet tall. 
Crystal Beauty Each 25c, Doz. $2.50 
Very early and very tall. A gorgeous, pure, clear snow-white of huge 
size on stalks that are shoulder high, being the tallest of all white 
Iris. Flowers of perfect shape and freely produced. 
Dauntless Each 25c, Doz. $2.50 
Winner of highest international honors, the Dykes Memorial Medal. One 
of the finest and purest red-toned Iris introduced to date. 
Depute Nomblot Each 25c, Doz. $2.50 
Another Dykes Medal Winner. Of gigantic size and perfect form and 
texture, on tall, nicely branched stems. S. coppery red, flushed golden 
bronze; F. rich claret-crimson. The entire flower seems to be lightly 
dusted with fine golden powder, which sparkles in the sunlight, giving 
it an unusual richness. 
Dore Each 50c, Doz. $5.00 
Huge flowers of fine form, with lemon-yellow standards and ivory falls, 
the falls having gold veinings at the throat and orange beards. Height 
40 inches. 
Eleanor Blue Each 50c, Doz. $5.00 
Chicory to Campanula-blue with more lavender in the falls, which flare 
sharply. An Iris of unusually fine, leathery texture. A superb clear 
clean flower. 
Eros Each 50c, Doz. $5.00 
Very fragrant. Award of Merit, American Iris Society, 1936. A delight- 
ful new salmon or Hydrangea-pink, with as many as 12 flowers to a 
stem, now offered for the first time at a modest price. Entirely different 
from all other pinks. The large shapely flowers have a delightful silky 
texture. 
Golden Light Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
Early. The best of the new golden brown blends. Standards delightfully 
ruffled gold, edged soft lilac. Falls gold, flushed soft lilac at the center 
and veined brown; flaring, deep orange beard. 
Golden Treasure Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
An exquisite new creamy yellow Iris with an elusive charm. Its loveli- 
ness seems to lie principally in its shimmering silkiness of texture and 
in the subtle infusion of golden light throughout the center of the 
flower. The beard is bright orange. Whites, creams, and yellows are 
always valuable for “lighting up’’” an Iris garden, and none more so 
than this brilliant new Iris. Truly a “golden treasure’ to any land- 
scape artist. An Iris that will some day be grown by the millions. 
Gudrun Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
Winner of the Dykes Memorial Medal by the English Iris Society. A top 
notch white Iris among so many fine new white ones and by many 
judges considered the finest of all. It is a massive flower of purest 
snow-white, undoubtedly the largest and most massive. 
Jean Cayeux Each 50c, Doz. $5.00 
Certainly one of the most beautiful Iris we have ever grown. It has 
been awarded all honors and justly so. The full-petaled flower with 
its slight suggestion of a frill has stately grace and opulence of form. 
Its novel superb coloring of light Havana-brown with a luster of golden 
biscuit-tan show up magnificently anywhere in the garden. It flowers 
freely over a long period. Height 34 inches. 
Los Angeles Each 25c, Doz. $2.50 
Great white flowers of fine shape and substance, the standards faintly 
edged blue with the blue style arms adding a note of clear blue in the 
center. Tall and widely branched. Most outstanding. Early. 40 inches. 
Marquita Each 75c, Doz. $7.50 
This Iris is so unusual and so beautiful that it is always wanted by 
everyone who sees it in bloom. It is a magnificent French introduction 
that has given us something entirely new in color. The huge flowers are 
of brilliant smooth ivory, with an eggshell finish, with ruby lines running 
almost evenly from base to apex of the falls. As the flower ages, the 
center of the falls turns red, leaving a cream-colored border. 
Mary Geddes Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
Had the distinction of being an American introduction that received 
an Award of Merit in England, where so many fine Irises are produced. 
The color is hard to describe, but it is one of the finest. An attempt at 
a description would be, a lovely blending of soft pink tones, overlaid 
Pomeranian red. This gives but a faint idea of its great beauty. There 
are 8 to 10 flowers to a stem and they are nicely branched. 
Missouri Each 75c, Doz. $7.50 
Very fragrant. Awarded the Dykes Memorial Medal, highest inter- 
national honors for 1937, as the outstanding Iris of the year. A large 
flower of true deep blue coloring and perfect form, with flaring velvety 
falls and excellent substance. Has every good quality. Height 44 inches. 
Mme. Louis Aureau Each 75c, Doz. $7.50 
This heavily dotted and sanded Plicata from Cayeux is a rival of the 
series now so popular from the Sasses. It has a ground color of silvery 
white, closely netted with rosy heliotrope. A very large blossom. 
Mrs. J. L. Gibson Each 75c, Doz. $7.50 
Very nearly a self, with inky black, crepy standards, lustrous and silky, 
and glossy, slightly flaring falls of fine breadth. Your collection will not 
be complete without this notable new Iris. 
Ozone Each 50c, Doz. $5.00 
A peculiar and subtle shade of rosy lavender, the same in standards and 
falls, with a pronounced copper area throughout the center. Large and 
of ideal shape; a fine grower. 
Pallida Dalmatica, Princess Beatrice Each 35c, Doz. $3.50 
This is the true type of Pallida Dalmatica and still one of the most at- 
tractive and satisfactory all around varieties. Standards and falls of 
a clear lavender-blue shading to a pale silvery blue at the base and 
sweetly scented. Unusually heavy glaucous foliage. 
Persia Each 25c, Doz. $2.50 
Its refined and subdued colorings rank it as one of the most pleasing of 
all. Very large blooms with falls that are a blend of bluish lavender and 
standards of iridescent steel-blue. Brown haft and yellow beard. 
Pink Opal Each 35c, Doz. $3.50 
A fine, tall, large, uniform pink-toned Iris. 
President Pilkington Each 20c, Doz. $2.00 
Large, of bold form, well-branched, many buds to stalk, and medium 
tall. Standards vinaceous buff underlaid old gold, with falls of soft violet 
faintly edged silvery brown. The elegant dignity of this Iris gives it a 
charm that is difficult to describe. Midseason. 40 inches. 
Rameses Each 20c, Doz. $2.00 
Winner of the Dykes Medal for 1932. A lovely blend of soft yellow and 
tourmaline-pink, the flower being suffused with a yellow glow at the 
center. A perfect flower in every way. 
San Diego Each 35c, Doz. $3.50 
One of the finest medium-dark blues. A gigantic Iris of heavy sub- 
stance and fine flaring form and compelling appearance. Tall and 
vigorous. Early midseason. 40 inches, 
Shah Jehan Ae Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
A multi-colored Iris with 7 distinct colors, but a flower of the greatest 
refinement notwithstanding its lavish colors. It is considered by many 
as one of the greatest achievements of Iris development. Standards, soft 
creamy buff, flushed soft lavender and suffused gray, fading to almost 
pure white as the flower ages. Falls, deep, rich ruby-red, with a Yg-inch 
white border. This is but an inadequate description of this very fine Iris. 
An extra fine large stock of this new variety enables us to offer it at a 
very low price for such a fine Iris. 
Shining Waters Each 35c, Doz. $3.50 
Four to five feet. Early. Very sweet fragrance. On close inspection 
the surface seems to be studded with tiny jewels, giving an unusual 
sparkle. A uniform, clear sky-blue, of a most delightful shade.
