WORLD'S FINEST IRISES 
I have been growing irises for the last 32 years. - During 
that time I have grown and discarded hundreds of varieties, 
judged many shows, visited scores of gardens and actually stud- 
ied thousands of new irises when they were introduced. 
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. Hach 
variety has met the most rigid tests from the standpoint of 
hardiness, color, habit of growth, floriferousness and grace. 
You may be assured of perfect satisfaction no matter which vari- 
eties you select. 
_ If you will send me an order, even a small one, you, like 
thousands of other gardeners, will be convinced that any flow- 
ers you purchase from Arvista Gardens will more than meet your 
most sanguine expectations. 
Also, please note that in spite of greatly increased post- 
al rates we have lowered our prices on many varieties instead of 
raising them.
