WORLD'S FINEST IRISES 
I have been growing irises for the last 32 years. Dur- 
ing that time I have grown and discarded hundreds of vari- 
eties, judged many shows, visited scores of gardens and 
actually studied thousands of new irises when they were in- 
troduced, 
The iris you will find on the accompanying list are the 
world's finest, the cream of the crop. Those that do not 
come up to the highest standards find no place in my fields. 
Each variety has met the most rigid tests from the stand- 
point of hardiness, color, habit of growth, floriferousness 
and grace. You may be assured of perfect satisfaction no 
matter which varieties you select. 
If you will send me an order, even a small one, you, 
like thousands of other gardeners, will be convincedthat any 
flowers you purchase from Arvista Gardens will more than 
meet your most sanguine expectations. 
Also, please note thatin spite of greatly increased post- 
al rates we have lowered our prices on many varieties in- 
stead of raising them.
