GARDEN CLUB OF WILMINGTON, DELAWARE 
The members of the Garden Club of Wilmington, Delaware, sug- 
gest that guests apply to either the President or Corresponding 
Secretary of their organization — who will gladly give the necessary 
information — regarding the best gardens to be visited. We are al- 
ways desirous of extending the greatest possible hospitality to our 
fellow Garden Clubs, and are more than pleased to show the best 
we may have at the time, but feel that as gardens change so greatly 
from season to season and year to year much time may thus be 
saved the passing visitor. 
We call attention to the beauty of the Park Drive in Wilming- 
ton — following the course of the Brandywine Creek for a distance 
of about two miles : and also to the unusual trees in the Wilmington 
and Brandywine Cemetery — abutting on the same Park Drive. One of 
these trees is a Cedar of Lebanon — believed to be the second finest 
in the United States.
