A truly wonderful collection of lovely new Bearded Iris has been developed at WAYSIDE 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 unknown 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.

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 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75 
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

and very freely produced.

and looks well alongside the variety Bule Rhythm.

and mulberry-purple. Both flower and color are highly praised by the 
keenest of Iris judges. It is robust, tree blooming, hardy, thrives any- 
where; foliage lush, blooms immense. What more could be asked? 
Flowers of exceptionally large size, larger than those of any other vari- 
ety and greatly contribute to the distinction of this wonderful variety. 
Golden Majesty Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75 
Clusters of bold, gleaming deep gold unfading flowers, on 3-foot stems, 
place Golden Majesty among the top quality of yellow Iris. The color is 
rich and clear and stands out handsomely among cther flowers. 
Grand Canyon Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65

tirely different from any Iris. It is an Iris to be admired at close range 
and is especially suited to bringing indoors and associating with oriental 
rugs. Attractively formed and delicately ruffled. About 40 inches tall, 
perfectly branched, and it flowers over a very long season. Very large. 
Great Lakes Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65 
The purest of the blue Iris. Winner of the Dykes Medal. No other blue 
Iris can match it for color, hardiness and freedom of bloom. The flow- 
ers are of superb substance with a pronounced flare, crispy petal tex- 
ture and are strikingly fine. Rugged and hardy, exceedingly free bloom- 
ing, we repeat it is unquestionably the finest of all blue Iris. Yearly, 
we receive reports from customers how fine it is and that they rank it 
as one of the finest Iris in their collection. We recommend it without 
hestitation.
