In 1822 or 23 Dr. Thos. Powe, who was then in Philadelphia at college, sent from there to his mother, Mrs. I Esther Powa a paper of seed of a wonderful, ornamental plant that had just been introduced from South America. It was called "Love Apple." It was an annual of most luxurious crnwth. covered with a soft, bright-red fruit, which made It very iesirable ao4 ornamental for the garien, bolt 9 tu consider** giwwa For year* B?opIe grew this "Love Apple" for lta beauty: then it was dla ) Attend inty Fair :r 12 and The Premium Lisi low Includes Prizes Offeree ; /?M /I T UUtlS ttliu JL/1 V I poisonous, but was edible. Since then , we have planted it in our vegetable garden, and it i? one of ouri standard vegetables?the Tomatoe. In 1872 Mrs. John Powe brought the first "flancy" Canna here. We had cannas,?tall, dark-leaved, rank growing plants with broad leaves and insignificant red flowers. It was planted for thfe ornamental, tropical Rooking plants in those days?the flowers amounted to nothing?and it was called "Indian Shot" on acfcount of the seed being like shot. Mrs. Powe brought from Marlboro the yellow canna?the "new canna" it was called for a long time. To Mrs Powe we^lso owe the sweet fern, now so poplar; as Well as the Cosmos, liveliest ot all fall flowery The seed of ;f:i. .'jTto uei-uy J sister of Wnke Forest N. C., in 1885 or 1886. The yellow cosmos?"Klondike," is very new with us. To Mrs. J. S. Bishop we owe this variety. She brought the seed from Florida about 3 years ago. Spireas we have always had, several varieties; but we know not who brought them here, except the beautiful dwarf spirea1, that begins to bloom in January and is the gracefullest, daintiest of them all. Mrs. Dr. Wilson planted the first one on her place about 1885. Mrs. L. D. Harrall has a beautiful specimen of this spirea in her front yard. To Mrs. Vereen we owe the introduction of the Calladium (Elephant's ear) as well as the Calla Lilly. Mrs. Susie Mclver started the white Pinks that bloom in May, from a paper of seed planted about 1878. Some one in Spartanburg sent Mrs. Caston the first'yellow oxalis bulbs?one of our most indispensible winter blooming plants.
