Suggestions and an Invitation 
MAYFAIR GARDENS 
A personal study of the color and habit of growth from the 
flowers themselves must always be the surest way to make the 
successful garden, and at Mayfair the opportunities for such study 
are unsurpassed. We plan each season to show flowers of every¬ 
thing listed in our book; there are also many novelties and rare 
things which we are trying out for future use. 
Best of all, every display may be seen in the ideal setting which 
each class requires. The Scillas and other shade-loving bulbs are 
used in masses in woodland or on the edges of shaded lanes; the 
Daffodils are at home in secluded meadows where the background 
of grove or hedgerow gives them the partial shade in which they 
revel, and provides delightful glimpses of gold and white through 
the feathery branches of shrubs and trees. 
In the more formal gardens, the Early Tulips blaze in the spring 
sunlight, while the softer tones of the Darwins and Breeders show 
to advantage against groupings of spring-flowering shrubs. In 
every case the attempt is made to show the individual flower to 
best advantage, as well as to give a harmonious sense of color in 
each garden. The benefit of this kind of actual garden setting is 
evident, and we urge every one of our customers to visit the 
gardens as often as possible, and to use them as a guide to the 
spring garden they are themselves making. 
In a normal season, the Daffodils should be at their best during 
the last of April and early in May. The Early Tulips will be in 
full bloom during the first week in May; the Late Tulips about 
mid-May. 
Notice of exact dates will be given upon request. Personal ap¬ 
pointments should be made not less than three days in advance. 
Little Falls is reached by the Erie Railroad; stations at Great Notch 
and Little Falls are equally convenient, but more frequent service 
is to be had through the former station. Good service is afforded 
by the railroads to Paterson. From Paterson the Singac bus-line 
brings passengers to Little Falls in about twenty minutes. The 
gardens are also easily reached by motor. A map showing the 
local roads leading to Little Falls will be mailed on application.
