ARVISTA GARDENS 
“THE SOCIAL REGISTER OF IRISDOM” 
During the past score of years, progress has been 
literally amazing in the development of all the de- 
tails which constitute a really fine Iris, including 
size, form, substance, branching, and many new 
hues, tones, tints and blends. Of some 25,000 Irises 
which have been named and introduced, the best 
100 sorts are selected each year in a symposium by 
several hundred accredited judges of the American 
Iris Society; and we are pleased that in our garden 
may be seen at least 80% of the 100 best Irises 
named in the 1949 Symposium, the latest available. 
We have raised and discarded more than 1300 
named varieties, and at present nearly all of our 
large list have been developed within the past 15 
years. Many of the newer Irises should bloom this 
season in our garden for the first time. 
May the Irises in your garden bloom bigger and 
better than ever in 1950!
