From the barren cliffs of Iceland, from the steep mountains of Switzerland, from the moist countryside of 
England, from the sunny plains of Mexico, and the bushy veldt of South Africa, from all over the world come 
Perennials, which have been selected and hybridized and finally introduced in their improved forms into Amer- 
ican gardens. Because of their comparatively long life, because of the variety in their growth habits, the texture 
of their foliage, the brillance of their blossoms, Perennials have long been the cherished mainstay of the flower 
garden. It is well to remember, however, in planning a border that for the most satisfactory continuity of bloom 
some Annuals and Biennials should supplement the Perennials, thus extending and filling out the season of 
bloom from early April through late October. 
The above illustration represents our exhibit at the Flower Show, held in the du Pont Hotel, Wilmington, 
Delaware, September 26th this year. 
Note particularly the fine spikes of Delphinium cut from our garden at this season of the year.
