Daffodils, Tulips, Dutch Iris, Hyacinths, Anemones and Ranunculus, various Cape 
Bulbs and many other new and interesting bulbous plants from all parts of the 
world. 
There will be Flowering Fruit Trees, Deciduous Shrubs, Azaleas, Chinese 
Magnolias and dozens of other flowering trees and shrubs to add to the gaiety. 
Combinations of different types of materials with bulbs, bedding and border plants 
will be shown to give visitors demonstrations of color schemes that can be adapted 
for use in their own gardens. The Flower Arrangement Section will present scores 
of practical suggestions for the use of spring flowers in the home. 
You and your friends will be welcomed here, not only for our Outdoor Bulb 
Show, but at all seasons of the year. There is always something of interest to be 
seen in our gardens. The rose gardens contain over 250 varieties, some of them 
new ones not yet introduced; our collection of large, specimen conifers is the
