There is no prettier scenery In this
broad land OF our loved America than
this very scenery along the Brandy
wine. What first struck our attention
was the pretty houses built along the
kennett Pike, commencing with tho
mansion OF A. b. Vernon, Mrs. Lam.
mot DUPONT Is building Brandywine
granite mansion In an open field that
will be the largest dwelling house In
Delaware, and 1t is said will cost one
hundred thousand dollars when fin
iehHd, and the surroundings laid off in
lhwns and planted with native forest
trees.
The wealth of flowers and vines that
decorated the fronts OF the cottages
along the pike indicated refinement
and education not often equalled
amongst the masses. Great country
out here amongst the DUPONT farms!

Some four to five thousand acres of
what was once n wilderness, haVo been
made to blossom as the rose, and arc
