With tho but.il of .an artiKtj tho h?art of a gardener and tin; handH of a magician Mr. Mlund bus within a short term of years developed hero ' a water garden of ulmost unbelievable richness, j Magnolia Gardens, famed in song land story, with the aura of age and traditions, even in the height of tho azalea season shows no more exquisite patterns of garden beauty than <an be found at Hwan hake Garden when the Japanese Iris blooms. Tho color range Is infinitely dlfferenC-TliO curving margins of the lake are planted in double rows of these flowers witii a path between. For more than a mile tlie colorful blossoms frame vistas of water and trees and water lilies that must be seen vto be appreciated. The individual blossoms of tin- iris are Irom live to eight or even ten indies in diameter and sometimes tlaborders nre wide enough for from 2'.> to lb) of these blooms to show. They grow irom four to five feet tall, Imck of I hem fl agrant, bay trees, lagoons with lotus, towering pines and oaks, and in front of them the clear deep w aters of tiie lake studdli-d with t lie fragrant blooms of tropical and i;u^ivc waterlllles. Imagine then, if you can, these drifts of white like snowy clouds, some of the blooms penciled with clear yellow, gorgeous flanks of noft lavender, white with tinea of dclii cute or deeper blue, clear with orchid, | deep violet purple, heavenly blue, soft blush pink, vivid mauve, rhythms and harmonies of velvety petals laid in broad splashes of dazzling color. Alone the irla would be too heavy, I the colors too vivid but the setting is not only ideal for the growing of them but as a background and toreground for their beauty. The tropical water lilies which stud the surface of the lake are of flesh pink, deep rose, clear carmine, primrose and orange yellow, creamy and pure white, with rich patterns of the lily leaves and above them the delicate ferny toliage of the brown stemmed cypress trees and far beyond the dark evergreen pines. As one enters the gardens tho first glimpse of the iris come between veils of drooping pendants of the Willows that border the broad grass walk that curves around tho margin of the lake. On one side are the lagoons in which grow the stately lotus which . bloom in July, here and there are . clumps of the Iris and far beyond the willow leaves glimpses of the rich feast of color that awaits. The gardens as a whole are unique. They represent the accomplish meat of a man who "has been able to see the invisible and to achieve tho Impossible." Win-re formerly there was a tangled mass of underbrush and swamp there is now a garden of ordered beauty. The underground has been cleared away, a dam built, the waters impounded, pipes laid to drain the lawns. every tree and shrub ami viue and flower which grew there natnrallv lias been preserved. Much M?'\(dic materia.! has been added hut - | in such an artistic way that it se? ins ' j a pa it of t lie nat ural set ting > | The banks on which the iris grow I have all been reclaimed from the 1 j swamp.

The azaleas and . i ? aiiiellitis. all kinds of evergreens, 1 | peonies, nisfH, dull I iuH, the flowering | trees and shrubs, the rich smooth shaven lawns, make the Swan Lake (iardens at all times interesting ntid lovely hilt the time of times to see tin hi is now when the Japanese Iris are abloom. For a month day titter day thousands ot' them will open to greet the morning sun and to sec tliem and the lilies tit their best (lioo.se the morning hours. The Japtitiese motif litis been loliowed in the curved bridges and in the planting of the iris. The terra cottti bridge on the highway, with its bamboo railings and above it the Taori lantern of old bronze make a very charming picture. Along tlio path to tills bridge the iris colors are very rich and rise above fairy like masses of delicate blue forget-me-nots. Those who have seen the famous iris gardens of Tokyo and other places in Nippon say that they are no more beautiful and show no finer blooms, no richer colors than do these gardens of ours here in South Carolina. The Sumter Daily Item of May 20th says: "H. C. Bland announces that the Japanese Iris are In bloom in his Swan Luke Gardens and that the gardens will be open daily until further notice. Tiie garden lovers of Sumter I and vicinity are cordially invited by [Mr Bland to visit Swan Lake. "There Is nothing in South Carolina approaching in beauty the gar den paradise that Mr. Bland has created at Swan Lake and bis generosity in opening it to the public free of charge is appreciated by the people of Sumter." Through The Slate this courtesy is extended to the gardeners and beauty lovers of South Carolina. > fttMyrr^^JrT MEETMEAT I BROAD STREET LUNCH I ! ^ ON TOP OF THE HILL J The Best Nickel Hamburger Anywhere.
