T Barjy lu the year the Garden Cluk of South Carolina made an apnoal ^ the beautlflcation of our hlKhw.v More recently, In an article entitle "Making Dixie a Land of Beauty iS \IM? Pay Big Cash Profile', Poe, president and editor of the iw ! gresalve Farmer, urged that the ^ pie of the South do moro to beaaitf 1 their property especially that ftlon the highways. ?r Poe suggests that I each winter landowners K0 throu.h their woods cutting out less deslraS trees and thinning around the more desirable ones so as to hasten their growth. He gives especial attention to dog woods, redbuds, hollies and deciduous hollies, especially those near the roadsides. Along JJJp these, he mentions the mlmo?. camelia, cr^pe myrtle, maguoiia u trees which will give the humblest home a year-round pageant of cojor * Mr. Poe, says that southern tuJ ^ should be used ten States (maybe a hundred times) as much as .they a,e We hope very soon to give a com-' plete list of these vines which could be used to such advantage along our highways as well as In our gardaaj. He calls attention to the fact that wo need to emphasize winter beauty more, not only for ourselves but for i the benefit of the many visitors who I spend that season among us. He I j aays we need ten times as many ever- I greens and berry-bearing plants- I plants that give life, color, richness I and charm from November to April I when deciduous trees are bare fiTl j bleak. For year-round blossom and I j beauty, he recommends the following I trees and shrubs found everywhere I In the South: for spring?redbud, 'I dogwood, haw and Bhadbush; for suis I mer?mimosa, crepe myrtle, althea, I hibiscus: for late fall, winter and I early spring?cedar, pine, long leaf I pine, live oak, magnolia, cherry, I laurel, holly, deciduous holly, wax I myrtle. f. a I M 1*8. Charlotte Hilton Green, auth6r,4i of "Trees of the - South" although I born and bred In the North where I dogwoods are comparatively rare, hu I become such a dogwood enthuslut I that she is starting a one-woman fl crusade to plant dogwoods 01 all I southern home grounds and along all I southern highways. 4 At this season when we are all en- I joying the lovely crepe myrtle It is I interesting to note what a lover of I that beautiful shrub has to' say ot It I Robert Jemlson, Jr., whose estate I near Birmingham Is so well known 1 throughout Alabama, says; "It hu always seemed to me that crepe myrtle Is to the South what Ulac is to the East, with a very decided advantage which the South has with its crepe myrtle over the East with Its j lilac. I wish the South could more rapidly become a land of crepe myrtle and dogwood".?Elizabeth Baum, j Camden Garden Club- Publicity. : Although Vermont Is one of the i most .progressive states in New England, It boasts that 500 yoke of oiea-; still are In use there. ~ .J County Coroner Diet At Camden Hospital j (Continued ftom first page) Mr. Lee Is survived by his widow , and the following other relatives: Mrs, j Katie Corbett Lee; one son, Purdf] Lee of Camden; three brothers, D.
