CAROLINA GARDEN-LAND (Continued from page 308) indica, a rose garden, and tall graceful bamboos which reflect themselves in the swift black river. The garden is enclosed in native forest trees; maple, gum, and white oak replace the live oak and palmetto of the coast. Yet one feels the presence of the sea for the trees of this garden are draped with Spanish moss—the mournful gray banners of the coast. The Cooper, the Santee and a dozen other tidal streams, once lined with rice plantations, now have entrancing river gardens similar to those of the Ashley. The Garden of Belle Isle near Georgetown, where masses of white and magenta azalea are sheltered by drooping live-oak branches, looks out over glistening blue Winyah Bay through the woodland vistas. Here much bamboo is employed for background while Spanish cork oak gives an exotic note. Wilmington's civic development has been colored by adjacent garden beauty. Nearby are Airlie garden on Wrightsville Sound, and Orton garden on the Cape Fear River —both old and lovely plantation gardens that have been in course of development for more than two hundred years. In recent years the city has laid out Greenfield garden, embracing about one hundred and seventy-five acres of water surface, islands, woodland effect and formal planting. Here azaleas, camellias, crepe-myrtle, and roses, in a frame of gray moss and cypress trees rising from the lakes, form one of the most successful city gardens in the entire South. On Cooper River, at the ancient Dean Hall plantation, the present owner has wrought a garden unique in all Carolina, a water garden where a forest of mighty cypress trees stands thick in shallow black pools, once the "backwaters" or reserves for rice culture. Japanese-like bridges built of cypress timber that had rested for centuries beneath the water carry paths across openings in the narrow banks that lead one through a dark and mystic world— black water beneath, gray moss above, and on every hand a labyrinth of straight gray columns. The dark surface mirrors the trees and the moss and, in early spring, the flames of many-colored azaleas that line the shores and cover the islands. Late in the summer one meets here acres of pale lotus blossoms where once were rice fields —gardens now such as Cleopatra may have known beside the Nile. About 1800 the Low Country planters, having gained wealth and leisure beyond the dreams of the pioneers, sought, in summer, cooler climes. Journeying inland in great lumbering coaches with slave outriders they passed the red hills of the Piedmont, entered the passes of the blue mountain wall that bounds it on the west and finally pitched their summer camps on the high table-land of western North Carolina in the Land of the Sky. Here they found Nature in far different mood from the languid sweetness she professed in a semi tropical Low Country—here wis a land of spruce, balsam, white oak, chestnut and the arrowy white pine, a world made beautiful with the white and pink of kalmia and rhododendron, the glow of heather and the brightness of small Alpine flowers. Here were the rolling hills and stately open forests they had known in ... ' W. m -J Fertilizer you know is safe! FOR generations cow manure, in spite of its odor, has been prized as the "best" of all fertilizers. It produced results far better than anything else one could use. And somehow or other no modern fertilizer can quite take its place. But, now we have made this faithful old garden producer available with every objectionable feature removed. In DRICONURE we bring you cow manure in concentrated form, 5 times stronger than green manure, dry, odorless, granulated—absolutely free of weed seeds, hay, straw or other trash. It comes from dairies where peat moss has been used as bedding, so that in addition to its fertilizing value it also improves the physical condition of the soil. It builds up as it feeds—and regardless of how much or how little you use, or how often you use it, there will be no harmful after effects. DRICONURE is a safe fertilizer. It will not burn. Try this old reliable fertilizer in its new form. Use it as a lawn top dressing and for general garden use. You'll like it. tper Pamphletson '"" Driconure and Q. P.

And while we like to think of Mother ature as a most gracious and liberal sort of Goddess who lends immeasurable aid in gardening, we must first learn the secret of how to use Her treasures. In gardening, everything depends upon the power of your soil to produce, and this power in turn depends upon how well you provide the soil with water, air, and plant food; and how well you maintain correct soil texture so that the food and water can be utilized. Soil texture (its physical condition) is thus the key to Nature's help. And GPM Peat Moss is the only safe and sure way to secure correct soil texture inexpensively. GPM Peat Moss provides humus—more humus over a longer period of time than any other so-called humus material.

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.
