nut and beech. Various clumps of 
pawpaws are scattered here and there 
and their bright yellow foliage is es¬ 
pecially striking in the fall. 
The peony and poppy growing 
fields have hundreds of rows of plants 
running north and south—and let us 
say modestly they’re planted in mighty 
straight rows. Weeds are not toler¬ 
ated in these fields and no matter when 
you see these plants during the grow¬ 
ing season, you’ll find they have been 
recently cultivated. A Skinner irri¬ 
gating system covers all the fields. 
During the last year we put in a 
parking area where several hundred 
visitors’ cars may be parked at the 
same time. This is a necessity during 
the blooming season. 
We have given you this rather ram¬ 
bling description of Auglaize Gardens 
in the hope that you may be interested 
in stopping to see us whenever you 
are near Van Wert. We assure you of 
a hearty welcome. 
Tulips aren’t listed in our catalog 
but we do grow about 65 of the finer 
varieties. Sort of a personal hobby. 
We have surplus stock this fall of 
some of these varieties. 
If you’re interested, write and we’ll 
send you a list of the ones available, 
together with prices.
