DELPHINIUMS 



Gardening is an art which lias been the 

 study and recreation of men for all ages. 

 Its literature is e.xceedingly voluminous. But 

 although we have this great body of litera- 

 ture and historical records of the art there 

 niiist forever be beginners. We would 



suggest that the beginner in gardening start 

 with well known favorites and uhen these 

 have become well established, finer subjects, 

 or perhaps those which require more care 

 may be added. We are indebted to many 

 amateurs for valuable plant introductions 

 from other lands and inded much of the best 

 work- in gardening and the development of 

 plants has been done by the man or the 

 woman whose business has lain in an en- 

 tirely dififerent direction than that of horti- 

 culture. Most flowers, it will be found, 

 deserve especial care and treatment. There 

 are many genera or families that offer 

 opportunit yfor study when taken up in 

 detail. There are several popular plants 

 such as Dahlias, Peonies, Chrysanthemums, 

 Roses, etc., but one that deserves mention is 

 tlie Delphinium.
