• Our Seventh Annual Outdoor Bulb Show will be held 
from early March till mid-April. Cards of invitation, giving 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. Flowering with the 
Daffodils are early Dutch Iris, Anemones, Ranunculus, Species 
Tulips and many other rare 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. Men¬ 
del, Triumph, Cottage, Breeder and Darwin Tulips in the newest 
and most beautiful varieties are shown. In all, 164 varieties of 
tulips have been planted for the 1938 show. 
Our Rose Gardens, containing more than 200 varieties, including 
the latest creations of the world’s foremost rose hybridizers, is at 
its best in late April and early May. Rose lovers, however, will find 
it colorful and interesting at any time from April to November. 
ies continue the parade of bloom immediately after tulips and irises have flowered. 
Spring Glory Daffodil is aptly named—an early variety, 
it is a forerunner of a glorious season of bloom.
