Charleston Gardens Blooming Charleston, S. C., March 18.— It looks like an early season for Azaleas at Charleston’s Famous Gardens. Owners of Middleton, Magnolia and Cypress Gardens predict that the period of March 10th to 30th will see the flamboyant flowers at their finest. One of the warmest winters on record is responsible for bringing the blooms to maturi ty at this early stage. Rains of the last two weeks have swelled the buds to the bursting point. Early Azaleas are already bloom ing in the three gardens. Mingled with them are spring flowers and late blooming Camellias. The gard ens are filled with a myriad of dainty spring colors: the Red Bud in full bloom, the gold of the Carolina Jessamine and Forsythia, the snow-white of the Spirea, the pink of the Crab Apple, and the delicate greenery of new leaves. White and lavender Wisteria are in heavy bud. Spectacular Camel lias, the finest and most abundant in memory, still bloom proudly amncg the later flowers, Magnolia Garden is for its flowers—individual and en masse; Middleton for its land scaped terraces; and Cypress for its dark mirror-like lagoon. All three are known for their Camel lias and Azaleas and early spring flowers. For the next few weeks the gardens will be visited by thou sands of flower lovers, tourists and school children. Early spring is always a favorite visiting time, for the spectacular colors of the Azaleas from Writable walls of color, enhanced by background of great oaks, reflecting pools and soft spring weather. Indications point to a sellout crowd for the Fred Waring Show Monday night at the Spartanburg Auditorium. Cecil B. De Mille’s “Greatest Show On Earth” was awarded the best picture of the year Thursday night in Hollywood. DAILY BULLETINS—5c each.
