GARDENERS
One of the beauty spots of Zebu
lon this spring has been the yellow
flower border at the edge of the
lawn at the H. C. Wade home.
Against a background of green
hedge bloomed tulips in tones of
yellow, some of the tall types,
others lower; around these were
dwarf narcissus, ranunculus, cow
slips and hyacinths, the nast nam
ed in shades of deep cream.
Mrs. C. E. Flowers has the most
striking display of phlox subulata
seen in town. This with candytuft,
tulips, and other early blooming
plants and shrubs have given
pleasure to all beholders.
Mrs. Riggsby Massey’s flower
garden is newer than many in
Zebulon, but already beautiful
and shows what it will be later on.
One of the largest in the commun
ity, there is space for beds anal
borders which are rapidly being
filled.
The grounds of the J. F. Col
trane home are being extensively
improved, though already among
the most attractive in town.
At the side of the yard towards
the rear a stone chimney witn
fireplace has been built, a pergola
with vines having been planned for
shade. Walks, arches, trellises
and seats have been arranged ap
propriately and all lawn furniture
is painted white. The pool, which
was built last year, already looks
as if it had naturally grown
where it is.
Nothing in the comumnity is
lovelier now than the pink dog
wood tree in the Barbee yard.
Say what you will about white
dogwood; the pink has a soft
charm of its own that cannot be
eclipsed.
Mrs. Lela Horton’s garden has
a fine display of narcissus and tu
lips following the hyacinths that
lately bloomed there.
Mrs. Campen’s bed of candytuft,
phlox, tulips and other flowers is
a glowing spot of beauty enjoyed
by all who pass that way.
The long hedges of white spirea
at the F. E. Bunn home are at
their best now, as are smaller
hedges and clumps at the J. C.
Debnam home. There are many
other plots in and near town equal
ly attractive, but those mentioned
are in the line of travel between
the print shop and the western
part of Zebulon.

PERSPECTIVE
How different might out deci
sions be could we but peer into
some magic glass and see 30, 40, 50
years ahead* Consider the case of
a pair of opera glasses on display
at the recent U. S. Patent Law
Sesquicentennial in Washington.
Made of aluminum, they were
bought in Paris in 1879 by a young
American engineer who wanted to
bring home to his fiancee the coat
lest gift he could find. Aluminum
then cost more than silver or gold,
and he took them even in prefer
ence to platinum because he felt
in the lomg run they would prove
costlier. But only a few years
later another young man, just out
of Oberlin college, found away to
make aluminum inexpensively.
Today the lightweight metal, sell
ing but for 19 cents a pound, has
more than 2,000 uses in industry
and the home. And the opera
glasses are a museum piece, a
monument to the scientific re
search and industrial progress
which has made them valuable on
ly as an heirloom.
