OUR FIFTH ANNUAL OUTDOOR 
BULB SHOW 
Daffodils, more than 100 varieties, in white and golden yellow; Giant Trumpet 
types such as Van Waverens Giant and Tresserve with flowers 4 to 5 inches across, 
Miniature Rock Garden types, such as “Angels’ Tears” and the Hoop Petticoat Daf¬ 
fodils less than an inch across and but a few inches high; standard sorts like Em¬ 
peror and King Alfred; rare new introductions including John Evelyn and Fran¬ 
cisco Drake, open the parade of beauty which passes through our gardens from 
early March to the first week in April. Hyacinths, Crocuses, Muscari, Freesias, the 
rare Leucocoryne and Streptanthera, Dutch Iris and other early flowering bulbs 
join in the first part of this colorful procession. 
While the Daffodil season is still at its height the first Tulips begin to open. Late 
varieties of Dutch Iris, Anemones, Ranunculus and Scillas help to swell the tide of 
color which reaches its climax the first week in April when thousands of tulips 
comprising 160 varieties will be in full bloom. There will be Wild Tulips suitable 
for Rock Garden planting, stately Darwins, glowing Breeders and brilliant Cot¬ 
tage Tulips as well as many other more unusual types. 
In the rock garden Scillas, Chionodoxas, Tritonias and Moraeas will contribute 
their share of loveliness. 
Flowering Fruit Trees, Camellias, Azaleas, Heathers, Chinese Magnolias and 
other blossoming trees and shrubs will form backgrounds for the succession of 
garden pictures which we have planned for you. 
Information in regard to proper cultural methods will be given gladly, our aim 
being to make this outdoor show truly instructive as well as beautiful. 
An interesting feature of our show is the display of cut flowers showing unusual 
and charming arrangements worked out with spring flowers. 
Bring your friends and enjoy an outing among the flowers. You will find here 
many new ideas to help you in your own gardens. A special invitation is extended 
to Garden Clubs to hold their meetings in the garden at “Old Adobe” during March 
and April.
