Spring Glory Daffodil is aptly named—an early variety, 
it is a forerunner of a glorious season of bloom. 
The California Nursery Company invites 
you to visit its spacious gardens at any sea¬ 
son of the year. A special invitation is ex¬ 
tended during the Spring months when the 
gardens are filled with Spring flowering 
bulbs and scenes such as those shown on 
this page are in evidence on every hand. 
Our Seventh Annual Outdoor Bulb Show will be held 
from early March till mid-April. Cords of invitation, giv¬ 
ing the exact dates, are mailed to our customers and 
friends before the formal opening of the show. 
Daffodils dominate the opening weeks with thousands 
of cheery blooms in more than a hundred varieties. Each 
year we show the latest introductions of the world's 
most skillful daffodil breeders as well as the standard 
varieties. Miniature daffodils for rock garden use are 
featured in one section, while in another, the giants of 
the race are displayed. 
Flowering with the Daffodils are early Dutch Iris, 
Anemones, Ranunculus, Species Tulips and many rare 
Cape and Dutch Bulbs. A background planting of flow¬ 
ering trees and shrubs adds to the colorful scene. 
The latter part of the show features Tulips and Dutch 
Iris. The new Mendel and Triumph Tulips as well as the 
newest and rarest varieties of Cottage, Breeder and 
Darwin Tulips are shown. In all, 164 varieties of tulips 
will be planted for the 1938 show. 
Tours of our gardens under the direction of well in¬ 
formed guides and bus trips through the extensive grow¬ 
ing grounds where acres of beautiful and interesting 
shrubs are in evidence are additional attractions. The 
flower arrangement section is a popular feature of our 
show, providing practical and interesting demonstrations 
of the use of Spring flowers. 
A special invitation is extended to Garden Clubs to 
hold their March and April meetings in the garden of 
"Old Adobe", our century-old Guest Lodge.
