it is intertwined into shady pleached walks. Again it is trimmed into hedges or clipped to fantastic shapes and figures. In the upper Piedmont, where winters are too severe, it is replaced by privet and in the higher regions by box, both of which do better in these cooler sections than along the coast. In Carolina, Nature seems to strike a careful balance as though mindful of the garden's needs. Box is found in its greatest beauty near Hendersonville. Everywhere, from Port Royal to the mountain valley of Tryon, when the glory of spring's blossoms fades, summer is made beautiful by the crepe-myrtle, Lagerstroemia, the lilac of the South. In fact, this southern beauty holds a year round charm, because its smooth brown and white stems and trunks are crowned in autumn with brief crimson flame, while all through long summers they hold aloft great clusters of purple, red, white and many shades of pink. The capital cities of the Carolinas, Columbia and Raleigh, like most capitals, are pre-eminently places of culture, education, and beautiful homes, and many gardens flourish there. Columbia garden lovers have had as inspiration many lovely old private gardens laid out in the early days of the Republic. These in most instances have now been destroyed or cut into sections; but a few remain intact, notably the garden of Hampton Hall, the most famous and many think the most appealing of all the many Carolina gardens. It now stands deserted, about to fall before the march of business which demands the block in the heart of the town, covered with its quiet paths; but its memory and high tradition will be immortal, preserved by the other gardens far beyond the confines of its state which it has inspired. The tale of the saving of Hampton Hall during Civil War times is one of the most touching and human episodes of unhappy days—but not to be told here. Generations of beauty-loving owners cared for it, paying special attention to the employment of native plants and trees. In general the garden follows the English manner of the eighteenth century with box trimmed into tall formal shapes, box-bordered walks and box-bordered beds of intricate pattern filled with fragrant and flowering shrubs, roses and other hardy flowers, and in summer brightened with rare geraniums from the long green-houses that stood against the walls. Supplementing the countless foreign plants there is the widest variety of native trees and flowers at Hampton Hall in all of Catolina, for Columbia is midway between the coast and the mountains. Here grow the live-oak and magnolia of the coast, and the hemlock and white pine of the mountains in harmony with white and pink dogwood and other ornamental trees from the nearby woods. Masses of oak-leaved hydrangea, a long pleached walk of Ilex cassine, rhododendron, kalmia and sweet myrtle join with the others here to form what is in sober truth the garden of the land. In Raleigh there are few old or famous gardens but the city is very beautiful because like Columbia it has countless homelike, livable gardens. Here there are no high brick walls as in the coastal cities and the many private plantings, the public parks, and the wide streets bordered with trees and flowers create a veritable city of bloom. Many thousand crepe-myrtle trees adorn Raleigh streets, planted through Garden Full ef Dahlias Sor*£50 ■fzr-jNr *■ •<** >^"-X, New and Rare Exhibition Dahlias Few flowers, whether used for garden decoration or principally for cut blooms to decorate the home, are as responsive to simple garden culture as our Modern Dahlia.

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.
