time to word juggling about the
arts of music and the drama
. . . this carnivorous vegetarian
cannot be judged by his own
standards when he puts his
wares on the open market . .
The sound-and-light spectacu
lar, “The Immortal Showboat,”
at the Battleship U.S.S. North
Carolina at Wilmington is the
largest show of its kind in the

The winding road of summer
Covers, oh, such lengthy ground,
Over the hill and round the
bend
With rarest beauty found!
—Underhill
Oh, the “lengthy ground” this
gardener has covered and “the
beauty seen” . . . How great!
I want to deviate this week!
Instead of writing about flow
ers, 1 beg for the privilege of
sharing with you fellow garden
ers my most enjoyable and
rambling vacation trip with
husband and daughter.
Leaving after the last day of
school, we started on the Blue
Ridge Park Way at Asheville,
and drove at “a slow speed and
many stops” in order to enjoy
the magnificence of the purple
rhododendrons in North Caro
lina, and the flame azalea so
abundant, so gorgeously in
bloom, all the way across Vir
ginia into Roanoke. The colors
were superb from palest yellow
to vivid flame reds. Other flora
was in bloom adding to the pure
enchantment of the Parkway.
We went from Roanoke into
Washington, D. C. (We wanted
our twelve year old to see all
the historic and interesting
sights of the big cities that we
have seen many times in the
past.) So, we toured wonderful
Washington, Baltimore, Wilm
ington. Delaware; Philadelphia;
Trenton, N. J.; and New York
City! The flowers in all these
places, especially the roses,
were breathtaking.
After the crowds, the “jet
speed of the turnpikes, the thru
ways and expressways we were
ready for a change, so we began
a leisure tour thru the New
England states, and oh, how de
lightful!
In Connecticut and Massa
chusetts the flowers were mar
velous, and again the roses
were spectacular, as were the
many lilac, here and all across
the states of New Hampshire
and Vermont. (We noted school
still in session in northern Ver
mont and Canada. Also apple
trees, narcissi, tulips and iris in
bloom).
We thoroughly enjoyed the
White Mountains of New Hamp
shire and the Green Mountains
of Vermont.
We lingered awhile out of
Burlington, Vt. on beautiful
Lake Champlain before going
on up to Montreal, Canada.
With great excitement and
enthusiasm we took in Expo ’67.
Everyone should see it—it’s
fantastic.
I was so impressed with
Montreal! It’s a masterpiece of
beauty with its two million,
six hundred thousand popula

ti.on, its history, great buildings,
Ships, bridges and water.
Big lakes, little lakes, rivers!
We were reluctant to leave
Montreal!
However, we took the unfor
gettable Trans-Canada Auto
route and journeyed through the
Thousand Islands and Lawrence
Islands section (beauty superb
here) and many towns, across
the province of Quebec into the
province of Ontario and Toronto.
,From here we traveled on the
fabulous Queen Elizabeth Way
into Hamilton on Lake Ontario
down into St. Catherines and
the glorious town of Niagara
Falls, Canada.
This was a drive we’ll always
remember! In fact, through Ver
mont with white birch galore,
always growing in clumps—they
were magnetic in beauty! On
across Canada, in western New
York, and western Pennsylvania
they grew, but more sparsely.
The fragrant sweet rocket in
several colors, grew wild
through the countryside of
these two states. Everywhere
flowers were so lovely.
The trees throughout Quebec
and Ontario are God’s work of
art, they’re that perfect! The
grass and vegetation is “a study
in green,” and “cleanliness” is
the lasting impression I got of
Canada.
When I think of Expo ’67, I
remember the mass of people
pouring into every available
place. It was over-whelming, as
