IRISE&—Fall Blooming 
ARVISTA Gardens 
IRISES 
“If you yield to the magic spell of the Iris, it 
will lead you across the border into a wonderland of 
delight, for an Iris garden is a floral world in itself. ’ ’ 
Our collection of hundreds of named Irises, we believe, represents in an unusual 
degree the finest varieties recently introduced. The great strides in Iris development 
made during the past ten years, and even more particularly during the past five years, 
have developed in the public mind a keener discernment so that year by year we are 
demanding new and better standards. 
Perhaps no other perennial will give greater returns in increase and in garden 
joy from a very moderate expenditure. 
The members of the Garden Club of America recently voted the Iris our most 
popular garden flower, and authorities everywhere praise it as the finest single 
hardy perennial. This is a well deserved distinction, because, with its dainty refine¬ 
ment, with the delicate poise of the Orchid, it presents a wider range of coloring, 
will withstand more neglect and abuse and will thrive under more widely varied 
and less favorable conditions than any other garden flower. 
PRICES 
Prices of really fine Irises now are so low that no garden lover need be without 
them. Many wondrously beautiful Irises are ignored completely just because they 
have escaped display advertising and official recognition. 
Our gardens contain a number of new Irises not adequately described or even 
listed. These include The Weed varieties, National Prosperity, Porcelain Beauty, 
Wine Glory and Wonderchild at $5.00 each, and Michaelangelo and Prince Amba 
at $25.00 each. Also some other varieties that are being introduced this season by 
one of the country’s leading growers, which we hope will bloom this season for us.

FALL BLOOMING IRISES 
• . • • / • . • . * ..... 
The fall blooming of Irises is still more or less experimental in the northern 
states. The following list includes a number of the best performers in this respect. 
After a brief rest period in June, they should be well supplied with bone meal and 
watered thoroughly once a week. A protected, sunny location is helpful.
