An authority on this fabulous genus of plants concentrated ir this area, Mr. Ogden communicat ed a great deal of interest. Var ieties blossom here from early February through October and this is the only place in the United States where plants may be found like those in Korea ami Japan, a fact from which botan ists conclude that this continent and Asia were once one land mass. Four types of rhododendron in these mountains are of particular interest, the maximum or great laurel, the catawbiense which we see at Craggy Gardens, carolin ianum found at Bat Cave and Try m, and minus, the kind often used for ornament.

We went more for the visit than we did the entertainment, for we do not care very much for this. We find ourselves involved in so many dramas in real life that we don’t have much time for the make be lieve kind. Some time ago we saw a story unfold that was so in tricate, yet ruthless in detail as to be almost unbelievable. It’s one of those things that has to be kept secret, for if the countries behind the Iron Curtain got on to it, and applied it on a larger scale, the Free World’s” goose would be cooked.'
