Mountain Flower Season Is Hear
By BILL SHARPE
Spring, a pretty, camellia-clad
youngster who in January crawled
uncertainly from the Southeast
Coast of North Carolina, this week
raced vigorously up the. slopes of
the mountains for the grand color
climax due in June. :j , ,-. v
But he stumped his toe on icicles
on lofty Clingman's Dome, Mt
Mitchell and the Roan. Winter still
has his say at the 6,000-f eet and up
altitudes of the Blue Ridges and the
Smokies; there is likely to be snow
any May day, and the water which
seeps, eternally through the rocks
forms formidable sheets of . ice
alongside the road.
Not for long, for the early moun
tain wildflowers are blooming n
the slopes and valleys, dainty and
interesting, but minor introductory
notes in the impending symphony
of color.
. From Clingman's Dome to the
village of Cherokee, N. C, is but a
matter of minutes, but botanically
it is equivalent to traveling from
northern Maine to Raleigh,. N, C.
On the peaks a visitor would be Jn
a snow-powdered Canadian forest
of spruce and balsam; in the valley
he would find trillium and grape
blossoms blooming along the banks
of the Tuckasegee, apple blossoms
all but gone, and Indian farmers
sweating over their spring plowing
While the Smokies and Blue
Ridges offer many interesting flow
ers and the most varied community
of plant life in America, the great
shrubs are the bass note in this
symphony, and of them the purple
rhododendron is the most impress
ive. Good displays of this, with moun
tain laurel, should begin appearing
around June 10th. While no section
of the North Carolina mountains
are free of them, there are espec
ially good displays on the Roan,
Mitchell, Andrews Bald, Craggy
Gardens) Grandfather and Pisgah
The gerat white rhododendron
(R. Maximum) is due to come to
flower from two weeks to a month
Paul Britt Dies
Of Heart Attack
Paul Britt, 51, died of a heart at
tack while fishing at Big Coharie
near Ingold in Sampson County.
His father', Ash Britt, and Henry
Bradshaw, brother-in-law, of Clin
ton, were ; with him at the time.
Britt had been employed continu
ously by the Standard Oil Company
for the past 23 years. He was a vet
eran of World War 1. Funeral ser
vices Were held Friday afternoon at
three o'clock from the Clinton Bap
tist Cliurch, with the pastor, Rev.
Lowell F.-Sodeman, assisted by
Rev. Jesse Lorning, in charge. In
terment was In the Clinton ceme
tery. Surviving are his wife, Mrs.
Nancy Faircloth Britt; one son. W.
D. Britt of UNC Chapel Hill; two
daughters, Edna Britt of St. Louis,
Mo., Katherine Britt of the home;
his father; his stepmother; four sis
ters, Mrs. J. J. Cashwell, Clinton.
Rt. 3, Mrs. Henry Bradshaw, Clin
ton, Mrs. Henry Butler, Clinton Ft
3, Mrs. Robert Lucas, Faison; two
brothers, David Britt of Washing
ton, D. C, and Ash Britt, Jr., of
Clinton. .
The deceased lived in Warsaw
for more than 20 years before mov
ing to Clinton. He was active in
church work and in the Rotary
Club.

behind the purples. Flame azalea,
closely related to the rhododendron
in habits, will occur along with
them. This brilliant flower, said to
be found nowhere In the world ex
cept in North Carolina and India,
sometimes reaches the magnitude
of trees a foot in diameter. When I
they occur in masses, they present
a gorgeous effect due to the shades
varying' from a deep crimson to a
bright sulphur-yellow. . ,
Mountain laurel (kalmla) should
be in bloom this month, with max
imum display probably around
June 1 .One of the best stands is
at the famous Pink Beds of Pisgah,
where there is a recreational area,
and the last week in May and the
first week In June will find thous
ands of visitors there.
Rhododendron grow in such pro
fusion in the North Carolina moun
tains that masses of them are call
ed "rhododendron hells," a term
easily understood by any hunter
who has ever tried to worm his, way
through the dense brakes .Similar
concentrations of laurel are railed
"laurel slicks." In the last century,
a mountaineer became lost in a hell
and It took him nine days to worm
his way out. Chase-wise bear dogs
will skirt a thick hell, even though
in hot pursuit The thickets are
anything but hell when the bloom
ing season is on. Sometimes there
will be acre upon acre of the bloss
oms, so solid on the mountain sides
that from a distance it appears a
fire were raging amid the ever
greens. The largest stand of purple rho
dodendron in the world' is atop
mile-high Craggy Mountains, 32
miles from Asheville. For almost
ten miles, the natural gardens
drape themselves across the moun
tains, choking out all the trees and
other competing shrubs. Located on
National Forest land. Craggy Gar
dens has a large parking lot and
picnicking facilities. The area will
be open during the blossom season.
. The flowering shrubs will bloom
over a period of several weeks
throughout the mountains, and the
Blue Ridge I'arkwsy runs through
large fields of them. On the high
est peaks the color will remain for
some time after it has faded in the

Due to the fact that the state is
the meeting place' of three zones
and that in topography It is a giant
declivity, the flowering season in
North Carolina starts early, lasts
late, and provides more varieties of
plant life than any similar area in
America, and more than all Europe
combined.
