308 NATURE MAGAZINE FOR MAY 193 I A ROCK GARDEN OF THE NORTHERN STATE The home of Mrs. U. G. Speed of Asheville, with the beautiful grounds that give a decided modern touch Here in Summerville there is one garden that revels in long hedges of Camellia tbea. A few years ago this plant, the tea of China, was grown with commercial success at Summerville. Among the native trees that ornament gardens throughout the coastal region as well as in this beauty spot are the fringe tree, the red-berried cas- sena, Ilex vomitoria, from which the Indians made their dark beverage, dogwood, the Judas tree, crabapple, holly and the giant Magnolia grandiflora of the swamps. Among the exotics one meets the California redwood, the camphor, loquat, Japanese maple, ginkgo, candle berry and mimosa. But no gardens have a more haunting fragrance than those with long walks flanked by tall hedges of the sweet flowering olive and canopied with pungent pine. The ancient love for gardens, brought by the first settlers from the stately homes of England to the river plantations of the Low Country, was likewise made manifest at their "town houses" in Charles Town by means of smaller formal gardens guarded by tall brick walls. Today, the spirit of the gardens has overflown the walled places and rushed beyond the curiously wrought iron gates to fill all the parks and squares with beauty, and modern Charleston is sometimes called the City of Enchanted Gardens. Many old English roses thrive here against sunny walls crowned by the Lady Banksia or the Cherokee rose which came from the East in the long ago. A unique touch in Chatleston is the Garden Walk, recently opened, that permits one to wander through connected yards of ancient churches and many sequestered small gardens planted centuries past, and now exquisitely reminiscent of oldest England in their frames of mellowed brick walls and red tiled roofs. Beside the paths are English roses, old fashioned jonquils and iris, and tall magnolia trees haunted by heard but unseen mockingbirds; pervading them is the silent echo of the Old South, the voice of this City. Orangeburg links the glory of coastal gardens with the beauty of the sub-Piedmont. On the banks of the upper Edisto has recently been developed a city park of forty acres. It contains a sunken garden under great trees that is a vision of massed Azalea (Continued on page 335) ASHEVILLE PHOTO CO. WHERE EVERY STREET IS CANOPIED Summerville, where the pines and oaks, draped with moss, make every corner a beautiful garden

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.
