GERSDORFF’S NEW IRISES 
Table, Bedding and Massing Types 
We believe that this season ARVISTA GARDENS will make the finest showing 
of Gersdorff Irises in the country and one that should attract the attention of Iris 
lovers generally. Plant these for something most charmingly different. 
The Table Type covers a charming group of Irises that embody the fine points 
of the newest varieties but in smaller flowers on slender, well branched stems, making 
ideal subjects for table decorations and other arrangements. The Bedding Type Iris 
flowers average a little larger but otherwise are similar to the above; while the 
Massing Type varieties, possessing also the good points of the foregoing, are especially 
effective as landscape varieties. 
These new Irises are all noteworthy for freedom of bloom, long season of at 
least three weeks on well established clumps, with heat resistant flowers of fine 
substance. Others of Mr. Gersdorff's seedlings are under observation and some will 
be added from time to time as they prove their outstanding merit.
