IN THE HEART 
¢ 

OF THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY 
You are invited to Irisland’s 11th Annual Seasons Opening, which begins April 9th of this year, where the 
tall Bearded Iris will be unfolding their panorama of gorgeous beauty in such a rainbow of colors as you've dreamed 
about. 
As the season progresses, our display will include the various Beardless species, such as the Douglasianas, 
Evansias, Spurias, Siberians and Louisianas. Then the Hemerocallis will be blooming through the summer and fall. 
Last year we had an extensive showing of the new World Famous “’Flamingo Pinks’’ here at Irisland. This 
year we have added a host of the choice newly introduced top rating Iris from far and near. Ranging in colors 
from pinks to browns, and whites to near-blacks. Too you will find all of the recent A.I.S. Dykes Medal Winners, 
the 1949 Award of Merit Iris, plus a number of other fin2 award winners. 
Your many expressions of approval on the addition of a ‘’Color Chart’’ with the current ’’Symposium Iris’’ 
noted for your convenience, are appreciated. 
We are thankful for the confidence shown in us by you, and for your friendly patronage. 
Your continued interest and friendship have been a source of great inspiration to us here at Irisland, and we 
hope that through the coming years this mutual feeling will grow even stronger.
