Mr. Warren II. .Manning- DUcuases Their Distinctive Individuality f "AT THE TIME of myl arrival I thought this the most dismal country I had ever seen. I won dered why I had come and how quickly I could get away. That was six years ago,and I have been here ever since !" From a lady with whom I chatted for a moment, came this same old story which we who have known Pinehurst from its earliest days have often heard. What is the charm that holds people here? What does Pinehurst' s success mean? It means that the two men at the helm, one who successfully con ceived, one who is successfully directing the destinies of the community, have given it great distinctions. One dis tinction only shall I touch upon the home grounds. of friends. Pinehurst home grounds, on the other hand, have individuality as I will recount, and herein lies one of their great charms : Arbutus Here is one of the largest evergreen Indian Azalea plants in the Village. ' It has magenta flowers of the kind that is forced into flower in the northern greenhouses in winter. Here also is a northern mock orange syringa, which is quite different from evergreen mock orange, or laurel cherry of the South, of which a good specimen is at the west end of the General Office. Arlington A fine northern mock orange is here and a tree formed like a Chinese privet at the piazza shows the. picturesque possibilities that can be de veloped in training this shrub. In the roadside shrub belt opposite this lot are very fine plants of the tall gall berry and the red-;f ruited dogberry. Beacon Here is one of the best Pho tonias, a large leaved evergreen shrub of m Jam? -a I ' ' r " rim i -- Jg ft - . - r ;r (I ill 7 ! -4 K - J, I f TYPICAL COTTAGE SHRUIIHERY I feel certain that the northern home lot of the majority of Pinehurst winter denizens is about as tame and subdued as a company of soldiers at parade. In dividuality would startle the neighbor hood someone would talk. A pie shap ed bed of raw dirt in winter and raw color in summer, a lonesome shrub with its head clipped off, a California pri vet hedge is about the limit. Some in dulge in gardeners who can distort the pie shape into other shapes. Some sport a greenhouse, some a pergola, and you nearly all have a hydrangea and a crimson rambler rose, but no wild plants, not if you and your gardener know it ! Perhaps I am going back a few years too many, for it is a fact that many people have come to realize that their granddads and mas did have some sense when they not only cultivated gardens, but swapped plants and garden stories and had in abundtnce flowers to be pick ed with their own hands from their own garden, not sent from cold storage, for invalids, for friends, for weddings and to give fragrant tribute to the memory the rose family, with white flowers and a crimson growth of new foliage in spring as brilliant as a flower. This plant particularly enjovs Pinehurst con ditions. Berkshire Here is the best com mon lilac group, a plant of the matri mony vine, fine Chinese wistarias, and Lawson's Cypress, the last, a cone bear ing evergreen, is very attractive up to about fifteen years then begins to fail rapidly. Beech Some very good upright gold en bell shrubs are here. Bowling Alley Oranges in Pine hurst are here in the best hardy orange or thorn bush, in town." Fortunately, the law of the Village prevents you from picking flowers and fruit, so you may not know how good they are. Carolina About this, the most im portant building, is the most notable col lection of plants in the Village. In the very shady inner court are fine speci mens of the evergreen Loblolly Bay tree, Rhododendrons, a rare dwarf bamboo, (Bambusa ragamvuski), Ash berry or
