(Wayside ‘ Famous "Blue Ribbon” Iris 
A truly wonderful collection of lovely new Bearded Iris has been developed at ¥W¥ AYSIDE GARDENS in recent years. 
These new varieties were created by American and European hybridizers. Genuine progress and lasting improvements 
have been made in the new varieties of Iris which we offer you now; in fact, so great has been their improvement that 
Iris which were considered without an equal a few years ago have now been relegated to a secondary position. 
Startling new colors and combinations of colors, heretofore known in any other Iris, 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 Iris. 
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. 
Action Front 
Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65 
A huge flower of glowing deep coppery red, with extra broad falls and 
solidly colored haft. Beard is brilliant yellow. A grand grower, with 
strong stalks and heavy foliage. This is an outstanding variety and 
should be in every garden. Height 3 feet. 
Angelus 
Each 50c, Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00 
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 
late. 
Azure Skies 
Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65 
Originally called ‘‘Summer Skies,” this is a self of pale azure-blue with 
firm domed standards and flaring, almost horizontal falls. The flowers 
are beautifully ruffled and have wide hafts, surmounted by a white 
beard. Declared by many to be the most lovely of all light blue Iris to 
date. 
Blue Rhythm 
Each $1.00, Three $2.25, Doz. $7.25 
Very large flowers of Cornflower-blue softened by a silvery overtone. 
The large standards are arched and domed, the broad falls are semi- 
flaring with smoothly colored hafts. Grows from 3 to 4 feet in height, 
perfectly branched. A very fine blue Iris of recent introduction which 
we predict will go a long way. 
Blue Shimmer 
Each $1.00, Three $2.55, Doz. $7.25 
Clean, sparkling white with an all-over pattern of clear blue stippling. 
The blue seems to be peppered on the white background in an even 
manner, rather than in the familiar buttonhole-stitch style. The flowers 
are extremely large and full. Certainly one of the most outstanding 
Irises of the past few seasons.

California Gold Each 50c, Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00 
We consider this one of the finest deep yellow Iris. It is simply superb, 
having a brilliance and purity of color and perfection of form and finish 
not approached by many other deep yellow Iris. The flowers are large 
and very fireely produced. 
Captain Wells Each 50c, Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00 
Deep glossy maroon-purple; a large, rich, solidly colored self, neat and 
finished in appearance. There are no haft markings, and beard is a 
subdued bronze-yellow. Possesses a wonderful ‘‘sheen’’ or gloss that 
gives it life despite its unusua! darkness. 
Casa Morena Each $1.50, Three $3.75, Doz. $13.00 
Extra large flowers of deep, glistening, rich brown. Some solid color on 
standards and falls. Styles yellowish; beard brownish orange. Not just a 
novelty but a flower that adds an entirely new, rich note to the garden 
picture. Hardy and free blooming. 
Christabel Each 50c, Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00 
Red-—and it will not disappoint the most exacting critic. For sheer bril- 
liance we rank it second to none. Glorious as a garden clump, almost a 
self, of large size, over 3 feet tall. 
Copper Rose Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65 
A_ smooth blending of old rose, tan and copper, brightened by a glow 
of golden yellow at center of flower. Standards between buff-pink and 
Japan-rose; falls between terra cotta and ochre-red. The beard is yel- 
low. Coloring is rich and bright, the flowers medium to large in size, 
with very wide standards and falls.
