Tulip Time and Bagwells Gardens

I shared another postcard I bought of Bagwells Gardens a while ago, and now I've found another view. You can probably find a link to the other image below. The same windmill is in the image, but painted a different color. This must have been a sight in the spring!

Tulip Time at the Bagwells Gardens in West Monroe

Here is a postcard I had never seen before! This apparently was a garden center called Bagwells Gardens, located at 1307 Parnell Street in West Monroe in the 50's and 60's. They were known for their annual tulip display, called "Tulip Time". This is a view of one of those celebrations.
