The garden will be a fitting me

landed on Roanoke Island and thus
became the first English attempt

under Queen Elizabeth.
The project is attracting nation

ment of its construction, John Hay
Whitney has donated priceless an
tique statuary, which has been
shipped from his home. "Green
wood," at Thomasville, Ga , to Roa
r.oke Island. It is said that he
was planning to donate the col
lccUion of garden features to a
museum when he heard of the pro

project.
Every garden club in the state
is being asked for a donation to
tnis memorial, which is one of the
outstanding projects ever under
taken by the women's organizations
of North Carolina.
