SEASON OF 1915 AND 1916 ?»F PETER PAN always remained "just a little boy" and "never grew up," I am sure it was because he followed the glittering rain­ bow of some all-absorbing hobby, and so became oblivious to the l| passing of time. It seems like yesterday, though many years have slipped away, since there was a boy's garden out on the western prairie; then the city where there was no garden—only a memory of a garden that was, or a dream of a garden to be. Then came Wyomissing, and a man's garden which was an unrestrained passion for growing things soon filled until it overflowed out into the open fields, a riot of glorious color, an intoxication of delight, like the promise of the rainbow fulfilled. Six years ago I sent out the first edition of My Book of Hardy Plant Specialties, and what began as a hobby has become a business that grows so rapidly that it requires the utmost effort to keep pace with it. Today the Peonies and Irises from Wyomissing have found their way into thousands of other gardens in every state in the Union and in many lands across the eastern and western oceans. New build­ ings, propagating and storage house and office, had to be built; new help trained; and finally land purchased for a permanent home where there is room for the present and for future development. I have been most fortunate in acquiring seventy-five acres, beautifully situated within ten minutes' walk from my present buildings and grounds. To those who follow the rainbow, the end seems always just a little farther on, and I am dreaming of a new garden that I want to tell you about; since so many of you have written to me about your gardens, I feel sure you will be interested in mine. In the first place, I think Wyomissing is very beautiful, surrounded on all sides by its setting of mountains. Through it flows the lovely stream which gives the town its name, and here along its banks, on both sides, I hope to plant a specimen garden, where some of each of the hundreds of varieties of Peonies, Irises, Phloxes, etc., and all of the shrubs and trees grown at Wyomissing may be concentrated and artistically arranged; where they may be allowed to grow and develop to perfection, for the benefit of those who come to visit us. The meadow is framed in by the woodland and divided by the Wyomissing Creek. A little brook hurries through the tall grass. There are springs clear as crystal, and a little pond, all furnishing ideal conditions for a water-garden. There will be a Lilac and Iris, a Peony and a Rose time, and so on throughout the season, if it all comes true, as I hope.

Brussels PRINTED FOR MELINE, CANS A.ND C"., EOILEVARD DE WATERLOO, Zi. M DCCC XXXIX. MR V. un:ve PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. To assist in the detection of spurious and the correction of inaccu- rate pedigrees, is one of the purposes of the present publication, in which respect the first Volume has been of acknowledged utility. The two together, it is hoped, will form a comprehensive and tole- rably correct Register of Pedigrees. It will be observed that some of the Mares which appeared in the last Supplement (whereof this is a republication and continua- tion) stand as they did there, i. e. without any additions to their produce since 1813 or 1814. — It has been ascertained that several of them were about that time sold by public auction, and as all attempts to trace them have failed, the probability is that they have either been converted to some other use, or been sent abroad. If any proof were wanting of the superiority of the English breed of horses over that of every other country, it might be found in the avidity with which they are sought by Foreigners. The exportation of them to Russia, France, Germany, etc. for the last five years has been so considerable, as to render it an object of some importance in a commercial point of view.
