Tulips Planted In Great Bed At Home For Aged
Volunteers from the Historical Society the Chamber of Commerce and local groups planted about half of a 17500 bulb shipment gifted by Bull Growers of The Netherlands to the Home for the Aged grounds. The work faced frost sticky soil and required back breaking labor with spades. A second volunteer effort completed the bed and tidied the area. The project follows Holland gift bulbs sent to several U.S. cities in gratitude for earlier Dutch gifts. The formal design by Robert Lautenbach and W D Van Sittert will anchor a festival display expected to attract visitors in 1948 Tulip Time.
