A Word Among Ourselves 
o 
’NE rule—like the law of the Medes and Persians— 
has been enforced since the very beginning of our business. 
The rule reads “Only the finest stoc\ shall go out of our 
nursery and packinghouse" With this assurance on our 
part, you may look forward to a perfect garden, if the 
simple cultural instructions (sent with each order) are fob 
lowed. So you may select from this Catalogue, or ask us 
to suggest groups and color schemes, which we will gladly 
do if you will give us a hint of the style and size of the 
proposed garden. We are happy to place at your service 
the experience gained in many years of planning and plant' 
ing. In this Catalogue we present a list of tested plants, 
reliable in every respect, and offered at reasonable prices. 
Let us suggest that you place your order early so that you 
may have the seeds and plants on hand when planting 
time arrives.

T he roof'gardens at Radio City 
and the other buildings of the 
group which comprise Rocke' 
feller Center in the heart of Manhattan 
are the modern version of the famed 
hangmg'gardens of Babylon—unques' 
tionably the greatest horticultural 
venture of recent years. 
On the three'quarter'acre roof of the 
eleventh floor of the R. C. A. Building 
has been built an exquisite collection of 
gardens representing various nations. 
Each garden is a gem, each is authentic, 
and in their respective classes they 
range from the most precise formal 
garden to the opposite extreme of 
naturalistic simplicity. Specimen plant 
material will be found in all of them, 
and, in some, trees up to thirty feet 
high are growing luxuriantly. 
Here all of the finest flowers will be 
displayed throughout the seasons, 
beginning with the earliest spring 
flowers, which will be followed with 
annuals and perennials through the 
summer and up to late fall. Duc\ham's 
Delphiniums are used exclusively in the 
English gardens, and our other hardy 
perennials will be shown throughout 
the season. 
The entrance to the gardens is 
through a large exhibition hall in which 
William C. Duckham Company will 
maintain a booth throughout the year.
