I went down to St. Matthews
Sunday morning to see Judge
Marvin Mann’s Camellias, tak
ing Doris and the Stubborn
Half along for ballast.
The Judge, now retired, has
some very fine and very rare
specimens, some so rare in fact
es to be classed with the Dodo
bird. Most of his plants are
8 to 10 years old while a few r
about the premises are much
older and larger. A pink with
incurved petals on a 20-year
bush the Judge said was Otome,
adding that Pink Perfection
once bore that name. It seems
that the original Otome found
its way from Japan to Germany
where it took on the name of
Pink Perfection and so it is
known today wherever Camel
lias are grown. Determined to
have an Otome the Japs set
» f out to develop another pink of
the Perfection type. They came
very near doing it and in my
humble judgement improved
upon the original.
Apother rare specimen in
the Judge’s garden in a five-
; tiered beauty which showed up
unexpectedly. Unlike the pe
tals on other Camellias which
overlap each other the petals
on this blossom are in tiers
directly over each other, the
flower being somewhat pyram
idal in shape.
I regret that I did not get
the name of the most beauti
ful white Camellia imaginable.
It grows five to six inches
across, has a large center bud
and is enameled or marble
like in texture. I liked this
best of all of the Judge’s flow
ers.
The extent to .which this
Camellia business can affect
people is illustrated in an inci
dent which happened in Judge
Mann’s garden a few weeks
back. A lady from Columbia
stood gazing at a rare blos
som and became so entralled
that she wept openly right
there in the garden.
Judge Mann is now devoting
all of his time to his flowers
and has hundreds of grafts in
all stages of growth. He goes
in for the rare varieties but
freely admits that some of the
old ones (and he mentioned
here Mathotiana Rubra and
Debutante) are hard to beat.
Gardening has brought to the
Judge more restful nights, a
> better appetite, and a new zest
for living. ‘T would have gone
crazy after quitting the.bench
had it not been for these flow
ers” declared Judge Mann.
Judge Mann is one of our
favorite persons and we’ll be
seeing him again when his
Hemerocallis begin blooming, if
not before.
Returning by way of Orange
burg we visited the azalea gar
dens there. They were in full
bloom, millions of them, and
there is no charge to see them.
Barring severe weather they
should retain their beauty for
another few days and a trip
there Sunday will be well
worth the 80-mile drive. If
you have a color camera take
it along.
The City of Orangeburg is to
be commended for making all
this beauty free to rich and
poor alike.

LITTLE ITEMS OF INTEREST
ABOUT FOLKS YOU KNOW
i.'.v.
I guess I’m too stubborn to
do things in a normal way. I
should be eating with Billy
while the wife sojourns in
North Carolina but instead I
elect to do my own cooking
and was doing fairly well un
til Thursday morning. On that
disastrous a.m., I found a batch
of those half-baked rolls in the
refrigerator and decided to
have them for breakfast. I set
the oven at 500 and turned to
other housewifely duties. In
due time smoke began issuing
from the oven and when I
yanked my rolls out I found
them burned to a crisp on the
bottom.
I determined to salvage some
thing out of the mess so reas
oned if I couldn’t eat the bot
toms I could cook them on top
and eat that part. I set the
oven at “broil” and when the
smoke had cleared away re
introduced my rolls and turned
my attention to a few strips of
bacon in the skillet which had
by now * taken on the shape of
a mess of fishing worms and
looked about as appetizing.
Soon smoke again began to
seep from the oven and upon
hasty investigation I found my
rolls were now as black on top
as on the bottom. With the
aid of a fork I managed to
scoop out enough of the innards
to make my breakfast but it
was pretty soggy eatin’.
