Before going on with the histories
of our flowers, there are some weeds
and pests to be disposed of: 1st is
Sherman or Iron weed. This was
brought here by Sherman (another
atrocity he has to answer for) in the
horse feed. Nobody in this section
mm^^e%?*fnTn1i^^r^er?na!n)rJiigiiig uny'thing
here but' after he lfeft, ^he
ground wherever the horses of his
a: my were kept, was soon covered
with this weed with the diamond
shaped leaves. It is almost impossible
to eradicate it?it comes u|>
with renewed vigor each spring from |
seed and old roots and cuttings and
it grows so rapidly there are 4 or ">
generations each summer. It has a
most fitting local name, for it overruns
the face of the earth and brings
only trouble and despair to the gardener.
Another most prolific weed
that troubles us, has a most pleasing
history. In 1872 or '73, John Robinson's
Circus came here and showed
where the ba:?-?all park now it. The
next spring, where the animal tent
stood, the ground was covered with
a weed that was new to us. For a
long time the children called it "Elephant
Weed" because it came up
where the elephant had been fed,
rnd it was only of very late years
hat we learned it was calomile?a
pest indeed, but a beautiful one. It
is what makes the old power house
look as if it stands in a sea 01 sunshine
all summer, and makes go!den
edges to many a mile of road.
O''egg's History says that a few years
i ofore the Revolution a man named
Wm. Allston brought Nut Grass into
the neighborhood. History does
rot go so far as to say he was hanged
fo- it. but doubtless he was, or should
have been. It had been extensively
advertised as the finest grass for
r^ock. and it was said that a pasture
planted in this grass would never
need replanting. This is one time
an advertisement told the truth.
Plantls are atf different, in their
characteristics as "humans." We will
go from the J. Rufus Wallmgford of
a nut grass to the great philanthropist
of vegetation?the tea plant. The
original tea plant brought here still
stn.jds on the Misses McvVs plan
tntion in Mariooro county, wneru u
vas pet by their grandfather?General
Gillespie?probably 75 years ago.
If was given to him by General McC
?en, who was in Congress during
Harrison's and Tyler's 'administrations.
General McQueen got the
r'?nt from nine sent to this governr "
* by the government of China.
Now, the tea plant is quite common.
but for many years this one of the
Misses Moore was the only one In
this section.
The White Oleander, which is now
very beautiful, was first rooted by
Mrs. John Mclver, from a slip of one
in a bouquet that was sent her in
1859. Mrs. E. J. Waddill probably
had the first snow drops?Cherawian
for snowflake, the proper name. If
Mrs. Waddill did not have the actual
first plants, it was through her that
they became such favorites, for her
borders were edged with this lovely
flower, and in the spring her garden
was a sight to dream about. To Mrs.
Waddill we owe the varigated honeysuckle?the
beautiful vine with golden
leaves. The first plant was
brought to her as a little slip by
Mrs. Nesbitt, from Providence. R. I.
in 1859 or '60. The first Yellow Dahlia
grew in Mrs. Waddill's garden?it
came from Boston about fifty years
[ ago.
Miss Hattie Evans?now Mrs. White,
ot Norfolk, Va., had the first dark
red dahlia?Cheraw had Ithe semidouble
red dahlia only, until Miss
Evans introduced the very dark, very
double quilled one. The pink quilled
dahlia, now so plentiful in town, came
from some roots sent to Mrs. S. G.
Godfrey by Mr. Whiting, of Hamlet,
in 1887. In all these years they have
continued to bloom up to standarddeteriorating
not at all. Mrs. Edmund
Waddill planted the first arbutus
seen here: it was the mottled
leaved variety with orange colored
blooms, and was called Fairy Bells?
a prettier name than either arbutus
Or Japanese Maple.
Mrs. T. E. Wannamaker can boast
of owning the first Palm planted here.
It was planted by Mrs. Wm. Evans
in 1888 or 1889.
To be continued.
