> 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.

Dr. Irvine Attends
Course In Boston
Dr. William D. Irvine of Lau
rens is attending the 15th annual
Boston postgraduate course Mat*.
22-26 in Boston, Mass., Henry M.
Paris, president of the Tubercu
losis and Health Association of
Greenwood - Laurens Counties,
has announced.
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. He also serves as the at
tending physician at the tuber
culosis evaluation clinic held
monthly at the Laurens County
Health Dept.
'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. . »
