4 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Clinton, S. C, Thursday, March 25, 196£ -— > South Carolina is noted for its beautiful public gardens, par ticularly at this colorful season of the year. Many of our gar dens offer a lovely setting at any season, and thus are open on a year ’round basis. Two such beauty spots, open free to the public, are Orangeburg’s Edisto Gardens and the Swan Lake Iris Gardens at Sumter. Each year thousands of visi tors are attracted to these gar dens, many of them making it an annual pilgrimage during vacation time. Edisto and Swan Lake are both tributes to deter mined communities and their farsighted civic leaders. Not many years ago, what is now Edisto Gardens was a marshy swamp on the outskirts of Orangeburg. Today it is a gorgeous sight on the southern city limits along U. S. Highway 301. Back in the 1000’s the Or- angeburug city council decided to develop the swampy “eye sore” into an asset to the com munity. Some azaleas were planted on a five-acre plot. In 1947, a greenhouse and nurs ery facilities were added so as to insure future gardert im provement. In 1951, the Rose Garden was opened, and today it is a fea ture attraction operated in co operation with the American Rose Society and the All-Ameri can Rose Selection Committee. You will enjoy a visit to the 55 acres of outstanding plants and shrubs'in their’natural set ting amidst the moss-covered trees. Beginning in Mid-March, the azaleas are in full bloom for about six weeks, and the 75 varieties of roses can be viewed until mid-October.

The course, entitled "The Measurement of Pulmonary Function in Health and Disease- es” is aimed at physicians in terested in diseases of the chest who wish to acquaint themselves with the methods used in Ahe evaluation of pulmonary func tion. These evaluating methods will be demonstrated in the course of study. Dr. Irvine is engaged in the private practice of internal medi cine.

'The Tuberculosis and Health Association, of which Dr. Irvine serves as a director, is sponsor ing Dr. Irvine’s participation in this postgraduate course. one* of the most extensive plant- ihgs of Japanese Iris anywhere in the United States. This beautiful giant iris bloqtps lat er in spring than others and can usually be seen in full bloom from May 20 to June 15. Located in a natural setting of tall moss-covered cypress, oak and pine, the 100-acre pub lic garden has two large lakes which reflect the myriad of col ors. The garden gets its name from the White English and black Australian swans which roam the lakes. The swans are popular subjects for the pho tographers, as they float among the irises, water lilies and lo tuses. ' The original development of this old cypress swamp into an impressive and rare garden wqs the idea of H. C. Bland, a Sumter businessman^ who pur chased the land in 1927. As his plans progressed Bland con vince! city officials to make Swan Lake a public garden, and he deeded the land to the city when he retired. Dr ; George M. Reed of the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, an authority on Japanese Iris, helped Bland with specimen varieties | brought from Japan. Later, the city of Sumter ob tained additional varieties from the city of Hiroshima. At one time, some 200 varieties of iris grew at the Sumter gardens. Today, there are 25 varieties of Kaempferi iris established there. Swan Lake is a spectacle of color in the spring, and you can see almost every color of the rainbow—except yellow—in this unusual garden. You’ll find a week-end visit to Edisto or Swan Lake a wonderful expe rience. . » PC’s Bawball Season Begins .Friday, Saturday A two-game series with The Citadel tomorrow and Saturday at Charleston will signal the beginning of Presbyterian’s 1965 baseball season, and with only four days of pre-season practice behind them it looks like a long year for the Hose.
