There are many real lovers Of gardening
in Wilmington and some Of them are very
busy inst now with plans for the summer 5
flowers. The Garden Club has done much
20 foster the spirit of love for beauty IN
Wilmington. Under Mrs William h.
du Pont, the 20 or ~ members OF the
elub have in hand some distinctly novel
and beautiful ideas for perfecting the
summers display of flowers. The dis
tinetlv practical elements Of gardening
are encouraged as we'll as the more artistic
phases. and the meetings Of the Garden
Club this spring have been strong IN
unity value. A writer on gardening m a.
recent number Of the Kansas City star,
advances some excellent thoughts on
gardening, as follows:
A genuine love Of flower gardening,

acquired, is a blessing II Is the Simplest
