Foreword 
This is truly A VILLAGE GARDEN. It is located in 
Warrensburg, Illinois, a village of about 500 inhabitants. 
Warrensburg is on Illinois Route 121, 9 miles northwest 
of Decatur. 
Here, in the Corn Belt of Illinois; where most plants 
grow well, we have many of the finer varieties of per- 
ennials. In earliest spring, many wild flowers and flow- 
ering shrubs give color to the garden. Then Tulips, 
Narcissus and the beautifully colored Hybrid Peonies 
lend their charm until late May when the Iris and variet- 
ies of albifora Peonies fill the garden. This spring bloom 
is generally at its peak about Decoration Day. Daylilies, 
Delphinium and annuals are our summer flowers. The 
Dayliles are normally at their best beteween the first and 
15th of July. As the later blooming varieties of Daylilies 
are at their best the Chrysanthemums begin to bloom. 
These are a riot of color from early September through 
most of October. 
When traveling our way, stop in. You are always 
welcome at A VILLAGE GARDEN.
