Alumni S ForI Will Plant Native Trees Bird Refuge Planned Due to the generosity of the Co- a lumbia Sesqui-centennial promoters, c the Alumni of the University of C South Carolina have succeeded in d securing lands adjacent to the Uni versity for a garden. Trees and shrubs native to South Carolina will be grown here, with the various plants labelled by botany instructors. The botany students of the Uni versity, by having access to the gar den, will have the advantage of studying the plants in a natural set ting. Besides wooded shrubs and trees, the garden will probably include a small pond, where interesting water plants will be grown, and around which will be willows and cypress, as well as other growths of the South Carolina swamps and branches. High hopes are held that the gar den may also become a bird sanctu - ary, and in order to encourage them to nest her, food, as well as water will be provided. Interesting gates will be built and trails laid out, to make various 1 plant groups easily accessible. The garden clubs of South Caro lina have expressed great interest in this project and have promised full cooperation.
