MAGNOLIA FARM IRIS GARDENS 
HAPPY GARDENING IN 1951! 
We hope your garden this year is all you planned it to be; the garden of 
your dreams. May sunny skies smile on it, may the rains be gentle on it and 
may insect pests and worrisome disease alike shun it. Then can the flowers 
themselves vie with one another for your affections, outdoing each other with 
an unheard of wealth of bloom and increase. 
We sincerely hope you’ll come and see the flowers in bloom here at our 
gardens. There is no better way to decide which varieties you will want in 
your own garden. Our new display beds will give you a better idea of how 
the various kinds of flowers will look in your own gardens. 
In a normal season, the peak of bloom for the Tall Bearded Iris and 
Oriental Poppies is the last week in May. The Siberian Iris bloom at the end 
of the Tall Bearded season, usually the first week in June. Most of the day- 
lilies may be seen in bloom during July. 
We are located midway on the Oakland Road, about a mile and a half 
west of the town of Maryland Line which is situated on the Susquehanna 
Trail, Route 111, 30 miles north of Baltimore and 20 miles south of York, 
Pa. Visitors are welcome at all times. Our telephone number 1s Parkton 3771.
