Tulip Show. .. 
AT HOMEBUSH FARM 
O NCE again our spring display of Tulips at 
Homebush Farm, the home of Mr. Anthony 
Waterer, attracted wide-spread interest. The many 
thousands of visitors were impressed by the beauty 
of these flowers and the lovely and natural sur¬ 
roundings in which they were grown. 
The planting consisted of over 350 May-flowering 
varieties and thousands of bulbs. This is 
probably the largest collection to be seen in one 
garden in this country. Not only were all the old 
and well-known varieties exhibited, but very many 
unusual ones, some of which were absolutely 
magnificent. There were, as before, a number of 
new Tulips never before shown in this country, and 
it was a pleasure to exhibit them. 
Homebush Farm is situated about 5 miles south 
of West Chester in the beautiful rolling country of 
the Brandywine. The old house was built over two 
hundred years ago and is the birthplace of William 
Darlington, one of America’s foremost botanists. 
Many other well-known landmarks of great his¬ 
torical interest are nearby. 
This Tulip display is held every year, in May, 
and anyone is welcome to visit the garden. If not 
on our mailing-list, advise us and an invitation will 
be sent at the proper time.
