Longwood Gardens, near Kennett Square, Pa. ( about 12 miles from Wilmington, Del. ), was developed and heavily endowed by the late Pierre S. Du Pont.
Every Wednesday night through Oct. 11 there will be an elaborate colored fountain display, with 229 nozzles throwing jets of water up to 130 feet.
The `` peacock tail '' nozzle throws a giant fan of water 100 feet wide and 40 feet high.
The gardens themselves are open free of charge the year round, and the 192 permanent employes make sure that not a dead or wilted flower is ever seen indoors or out by any visitor.
The greenhouses alone cover 3-1/2 acres.
