FROM THE CITY OF TULIPS 
The 1952 Festival dates for “Tulip Time” are set for May 14th to 17th. How- 
ever, the blooming dates are during the month of May, and if you wish to come to 
see the greatest amount of Tulips in bloom, please be guided by your local weather 
conditions, for the blooming season will depend on whether the season is early or 
late. If in doubt, we will gladly advise you, if you write in and request the infor- 
mation.
