GACCIINGS 
from the City of Culips 
HERE is a time each year when the Tulip takes command of the clean, 
thrifty city of Holland. In years past, hundreds of thousands of people 
have invaded this lakeshore community to drink in the beauties of spring- 
time’s most welcome flower, and Holland has provided a daily round of festivi- 
ties to entertain its guests.

But all the picturesque and entertaining festivities have been put aside for 
the duration, to be resumed again when victory is ours. 
Meanwhile, the Nelis Nurseries, who have always played a quiet but im- 
portant part in this annual Tulip Festival, will do their utmost to keep alive 
the culture of Tulips, which their forefathers began centuries ago. In its ex- 
tensiveness of varieties and gorgeousness of color, the Nelis Tulip Farm is un- 
doubtedly the most colorful mass display of Tulips to be seen anywhere in the 
world. We have planted as many Tulips as in past years, and our display will 
be open to the public for those that are able to come to enjoy the beauty of 
“Tulip Time.”
