(Wayside’s Gamous igi ue Sibbon” Iris 
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 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.
