note: legijsiatiro Library, ParH-alxiiTJ; BnUdinga .Tar; 60 People come from afar to visit Bradner By IAN CAMERON BRADNER - This coming weekend, April 11 - 13, are the dates of the annual flower show arranged by members of the local community club and held at the community hall at 5300 Bradner Road. This small northeast Aldergrove community is the bulb growing capital of British Columbia and each and every year tourists from B.C., the state of Washington and points farther off come to Bradner to see the lush yellow, white and green fields and to marvel at the multitude of daffodil varieties. Over 450 different hybrids are on display in the spacious community hall, and the growers are present to answer questions and to take orders for bulbs for next season's blooms. In early spring Bradner looks to the visitor like a Dutch painter's palette, and the landscape, perhaps save .for the lack of the traditional Netherlands windmills, resembles the environs of the river ljssel, Schelde and l Maas deltas. fi Bulb growing came to ' ifradner in the 1920s with the 'vl'ate Fenwick Fatkin, whose family still operates farms in the area. Soon other farmers, from England, Holland, Scandinavia, Germany and the Far East, followed in Fenwick's footsteps, and the tight-knit community club and growers' association was formed. "Spring Glory" is the theme of this year's show which opens Friday, April II at 10 a.m. During the three day period of the show the hall will be opened to visitors every morning at 10 o'clock and the doors close at 9 p.m. Entrance is only $1 per person (where else can you watch such nature's and man's magnificence for only one buck?), and afternoon tea will be served inside the hall at a strictly nominal fee.
