About this postcard
A landscaped garden fills the foreground: curving beds of pink, red and purple flowers edged with boxwood, a large tree at left, and a blue-and-white striped umbrella over a table and chairs on a paved terrace. Behind it stands a white house with a red roof and dormer windows. The printed caption calls the scene one of the beautiful homes in Tyler, Texas, and uses the city's promotional name, "The Rose Garden of America." The card's text markets Tyler's "restricted residential sections" to home buyers, a period real-estate phrase that points to the city's rose-growing reputation and its carefully promoted neighborhoods.
