CAROLINA GARDEN-LAND WHERE WEALTH AND TIME BROUGHT PERFECTION BY E. T. H. SHAFFER The first Europeans to reach the shores of the Carolinas were astonished by the natural beauty of the scene, for here Nature had wrought so bountifully that the verdant forest appeared to sea-weary souls as the fabled garden of Hesperides. The Frenchman, Laudon- niere, who landed with Jean Ribault in 1562, gave a first account of the Low Country of South Carolina: "We found the place as pleasant as possible, for it was all covered with mighty high oaks and infinite store of cedars, and with Lentiskes growing underneath them, smelling so sweetly, that the very fragrant odor made the land seem exceedingly pleasant. On every side were to be seen palm trees and other sorts of trees bearing blossoms and fruits of very rare shape and very good smell." A hundred years later, when the English founded Charles Town, the same luxuriance of tree and flower, with carpet of wild azalea and silvan arbor of yellow jessamine and trumpet vine, delighted them. One who came in 1680 returned to describe "odoriferous and fragrant Woods, flourishing in perpetual and constant Verdure, vis. the lofty Pine, the sweet smelling Cedar and Cypress trees, the Wild Wallnut or Hiquery tree." Of the first country estates he wrote, "their gardens also begin to be beautified and adorned with such Herbs and Flowers which to the Smell or Eye are pleasing and agre- able, vis. the Rose, Tulip, Carnation and Lilly, Etc." Which indicates a pedigree for the flower gardens of the Low Country of South Carolina two centuries and a half long. Governor John Archdale, writing about his province in 1707, says "out of Charles Town for three or four miles is a road called Broadway (now Meeting Street) so delightful, of so great breadth, so pleasantly Green, that I believe no Princes in Europe, by their Art, can make so pleasant a sight for the whole year." And now after the passing of many years woodland and river shore near Charleston still draw pilgrims of - - IN THE HEART OF FAMOUS MAGNOLIA GARDEN The ON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE rioss-covered cypress, the endless blooms of azalea, the still, dark lagoon—all lend infinite charm to this garden of gardens 305

Several articles on the Carolinas appear in this 1931 issue of Nature Magazine. The magazine was collected by George Masa. Born Masahara Iizuka and raised in Japan, George Masa (1881-1933) emigrated to the U.S. when he was 20 years old and, in 1915, came to Asheville, where he lived the rest of his life. Masa was active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
