I can't tell you the precise date this fold-out was printed. I've driven or bused by the gardens' one-time locale a million times, but never saw them. They were torn down in 1968, twenty years before I ever set foot on the West Coast. Apartment buildings are in the space now. You can read a newspaper piece about Lambert and its founder (and see more pics) at: johnrsweet.com/David/andrewlambert.html

"Each year Portland's Rose Festival Queen and her royal court visit the Lambert Gardens Rose Court-- dedicated to all Rose Festival Queens. The Queen leaves her royal foot print embedded in concrete for posterity."

Several "linen" textured postcards that I grabbed recently from a store's dollar bin. I'm unsure of the actual year these were made. They could have been from the previous decade as well. "Spanish Pool and Zinnia Gardens-- this garden is ablaze with color throughout the summer. Beautiful trees and flowers, wide walks and restful garden seats make this famous beauty spot a delight to visitors." On the back, each card also reads: Published by "C.T. Art-Colortone Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.-- Wesley Andrews Co., Portland, Ore." I enlarged the images a bit to show more detail.

"The verse on this card is inscribed on a bronze plaque which stands in the center of a slate flagging terrace which overlooks one of the long Perennial Gardens." Shown slightly larger than actual size.

"A close-up picture of the beautiful Blue Spanish Pool and the large white foliage tree, often called the Ghost Tree, which stands in the brilliant Zinnia Gardens." Shown slightly larger than actual size.

"This arbor of brilliant scarlet roses shades a walk which leads from the Rose Court to the Sunken Garden and to the terrace of the spacious pergola." Shown slightly larger than actual size.
