tween, which have noted one of
the best winter and spring sea-

Mountain BIuzes
With Tulip Beds
WAYNESBORO. VA.

A hobby has ballooned into a
big spring-time visitor attraction
just outside Wayesnboro. Va. on
Route $50, just ~ miles from
one of the entrances to Vir-
ginia's magnificent Skylin e
Drive. It is a planting of tulips
which completely covers one side
of Alton Mountain, designed by
a Virginia nurSeryman to bloom
during Historic Garden Week in
Virginia, this year from April
"a through May /.
Originally E. M. Quillen de-
cided to enhance the eye appeal
of his Boxwood Shoppe, special
izing in Virginia products, with
naturalized planting of azalea,
rhodendron. jonquils, crocus and
Dutch iris. AS the number of
out State visitors increased,
it occurred to Mr.. Quillen that
he could provide a never-to-be
forgotten experience for the
thousands who visit the Shenan-
doah Valley each spring.
He started off on a modest
scale. The number of bulbs
which now burst into color the
last week in April has spiraled
to number a total of $4,000.
Visitors may see test strips
where Holland bulbs, never be-
fore grown in this country, are
in bloom and plainly marked for
the visitors information.
In attempting to beautify his
surrounding acres, a Virginian
has created dazzling new visi-
tor attraction, which brought as
many as 5000 appreciative
sightseers in single day last
spring.
