Costa In a setting of exotic plants, palms, cacti, ferns; bearing mem- Drs of the citrus family such as mquats an oranges; camellias and azaleas, the Tryon Garden club met Wednesday afternoon with the Thomas Costas in their home in the valley under Tryon Mountain. This very unusual collection of plants filled the large conservatory which opens immediately into the Costa living room, and provided a most effective background for the large attendance of Garden club members. The speaker of the occasion was Mr. Thomas Costa, whose long ex perience in the growing of flowers fitted him admirably for his sub ject, “Practical Gardening in Tryon.” Mr. Costa discussed a great many gardening problems, giving Teal practical facts instead of theories.
