M*$fcBTS>E- THE MAGNOLIA TREE MA6W3UA BUD and BLOSSOM a-;--;-// /kryvin THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK IS A VERITABLE WILD FLOWER GARDEN a mere shrub in some places, in others attaining a height of ten to fifteen feet, sometimes even growing taller. Mountain laurel, similar in some respects to rhododendron, is also to be found scattered over the entire park area, in many places forming an absolutely impenetrable undergrowth, hiding places for black bear and other animals, and serving as a mantle for the steep slopes, its root growth holding the soil in place and preventing it from washing down through the gorges. Hundreds of acres of the beautiful green surface of the mountains are made attractive by the heavy growth of mountain laurel. "Mosses and ferns and mushrooms are everywhere, and in a delightful variety, amid the fallen and decaying trunks," says Horace Kephart. "There is not a cranny in the rocks, not a foot of the wild glen, but harbors something lovable and rare. These flowers that spring up under the dense canopy of the ancient forest are such as defy cultivation. They can exist nowhere but in the untouched wildwood, which has been left to itself these many thousands of years and provides a mold rich in organic matter and so spongy as to hold moisture at all times. The decaying trunk of a fallen tree, despised by foresters, is really a priceless thing, giving life and sustenance to forms of beauty that nothing else can nourish." Dogwood is everywhere in evidence, with its snow-white freshness in the early spring and its bright berries glistening in the autumn sunshine. Azalea, wild honeysuckle, sand myrtle, bluets, wild violets, and the wild rose, are other favorites. Thus it will be seen that the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is not only composed of mountains, forests and streams, but is also a veritable wild flower garden, Nature itself being the gardener and landscape artist.

Description

Although the title of this 84-page book includes the phrase, “Great Smoky Mountains National Park,” the book was actually published well before the park was a reality. Filled with photographs of striking landscapes, waterfalls, trails, and streams, no doubt, the book was intended to help promote the idea of a park in the Smokies. Created by the Great Smoky Mountains Conservation Association, the book also includes prominent buildings in towns surrounding the park.
