Cypress Gardens A Beauty Spot It was the pleasure of this writer with several friends to visit the fumed Cypress Gardens, twenty miles j north of Charleston, 01P last Sunday. The descriptions sent out of this garden have not over-rated their lovo-i liness. A beautiful drive bordered | with magnolia and pines and with co-j rise colored azaleas lead up to the entrance of the gardens, At the gates to this beauty spot you uro given your choice of walking o\er the paths through the masses of (lowering shrubs and trees or using one of the fifty boats manned by "Geechlo" negroes, who tell you the history of the place In their own way, and unusual dialect. The ride in the boats carries you 011 a tour of the gardens over.a course of one and a half miles by islands abloom with bulbs of all kinds and colors. A dozen bridges or more arch the water route, each made of cyprcsB logs?designed to add to the beauty of the setting. Truly with the reflection of the cypress trees in the water we agree with an Irish writer after her visit it is "An inconceivable place ?beautiful and unearthly." * Tire manager, a native of Camden,E._Mlllor Boykin, stated as this had been an early spring most of the azaleas and dogwood had finished blooming but the garden has much beauty to offer in other flowers from its opening in November until it closes the first of May. Cypress Gardens has only been open to the public for the past eight years but each visitor is an advertisement for their beauty and appeal and we nbted cars from North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Michigan, Ohio, Texas, California, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Quebec, Canada. All South Carolinians should visit this garden of loveliness. It Is one MrexallIcsaleI --- - ? -ni? '.if , n Some rare bargains ! I I I One, article at the regular price I and one extra for lc more.
