Wayside’s amous Plug Ribbon” Dri 
Startling new colors and combinations of colors, heretofore unknown in any other Tris, are to be found in the new 
Bearded Iris. Of incredible loveliness, they rival the wings of the most beautiful butterfly. There are richer blues, 
purer reds, better pinks, finer and larger yellows, while other shades are remindful of smooth old ivory or fine porce- 
lain. Their colors are so delicate and ethereal as to remind one of their true kinship with Orchids. In addition to 
their great beauty, many have the added attraction of being delightfully fragrant. 
Of the hundreds of varieties offered to us by ardent hybridizers and enthusiastic specialists, those shown below and 
on the following pages were selected by us, as well as a committee of experts on Bearded Tris. These successfully 
passed the rigorous WAYSIDE GARDENS test of the “survival of the fittest.” During the past few years we have 
grown goodly numbers of these new hybrids and our fields are a sight to behold when they are in bloom. 
Make room for some of these lovely new Iris in your garden. You will be enthralled with their dazzling beauty.

not approached by any other deep yellow Iris we have seen. The flowers 
are large and very freely produced.
