Novelties... A great many of our visi- 
tors ask: “What have you that is new?” 
It is a difficult task to pull a fresh rab- 
bit from a hat every time someone asks 
for it, and so it is with flowers. As we 
grow each year an entirely new crop of 
Begonias and Delphiniums, there are 
never two years alike. 
In both Begonias and Delphiniums

just new varieties but new everything. 
The only entirely new subject we 
are introducing to cultivation this year 
is the Pink Calla Lily listed on page 23. 
This is a species, the seed of which was 
imported from South America, and it’s 
a real jewel for the garden. 
Visitors are cordially invited to in- 
spect our plantings during the season. 
The Polyanthus Primroses are at their 
best during March and the first part of 
April... In April and May the first crop 
of Delphinium seedlings is at its height 
. . . Breeding stock of tuberous Be- 
gonias in our greenhouses is at its best 
in June and July ... In August and 
September over a million seedlings of 
tuberous Begonias can be seen in full 
bloom in our lath houses. After Labor 
Day the greenhouses are closed to the 
public, due to hybridizing. 
GR How to Get There. .. We are situ-

Cruz, take the first side road to the right when 
past city limits and follow it to our nursery.
