ORIENTAL POPPIES 
ARVISTA Gardens 
VISITORS 
Visitors are always w'elcome at Arvista Gardens. The height of the flower¬ 
ing season usually extends from the middle of May to the Middle of June or even 
later. The dwarf Irises bloom earlier, about the end of April or the first of May. 
The top of the flowering period usually comes during the first week in June, and 
this season we look for the finest display of outstanding varieties that we have 
ever had. Ours is a commercial garden and makes no claim for landscape effects. 
To reach our garden by automobile from the East, follow TJS-12 to the point 
where it turns west from M-78, 1.4 miles south of their northerly junction; then turn 
left (east) one block, then left (north) on Grand Boulevard to 172 — the first place 
from the corner on the left or west side of the street. From the West on US-12, 
continue east one block beyond M-78, then left as above.
