Daffodil and Tulip Time at Carroll 
Gardens 
Plan now to visit our gardens in May to see 
one of America’s finest collections of new and 
better Daffodils, Tulips and other spring- 
flowering bulbs. You will see many novelties 
in bloom produced by bulbs that were sent 
to us by one of Holland’s leading hybridizers. 
Of course, those who live too far away to 
visit our gardens will have to watch for these 
new varieties in our fall catalog, which will 
feature many of them. It will pay you to see 
this catalog before placing your 1948 fall 
order.
