A visitor to old English gardens tells
mm that our native laurel and rhodo
dendrons are the pride of the estates.
I lavealso heard that many of our
1 aadive wild flowers are prized plant
iran of the parks of Paris, Vienna,
Beriin and other continental cities.
Seme of the finest estates in Amer-
. landscaped by the highest priced
architects, are marvels of beauty by
fke use of our pines, cedars, redbuds,
Atgweodi, crabapples, hollies, and na
tive shrubs and flowers. Visitors to
Hiddleton Place garden at Charleston
have seen the hundreds of bays, red
tads, and crabapples being planted
Wild honeysuckle has a prominent
face in the plantings at Airlie at
Wilmington.

is taken. While the Rhododendron,

" Sweet - Myrtle or Wax Myrtle
(Myrica cerifera - and Myrica Caro
linensey is easily transplanted and is
one of the most satisfactory ever
green shrubs. - s
Even the lowly Yucca, known as
Best-grass, is lovely grouped at in
tersections of paths, or other places
where low plantings are needed...
One of the loveliest - shrubs when
young, common , in the East, Js the
Cytisus, known as Scotch Broom.
The Fetter bush (Leucathoe eates
baai and Leucathoe axillaris), a valu
able evergreen shrub, is found from
the mountains to the sea coast. These
shrubs are incomparable for an ever
green planting especially as a fore
ground, for taller shrubs. Handsome
specimens can be found along the
banks of most any mountain stream.
The swamps of Eastern Carolina
abound m it In addition to its value
as a shrub, the long graceful limbs
are lovely for interior decoration and
will last for days.' i

once a yellow variety) add; interest
The much abused Cow Itch vine
(Bignonia) is one of the loveliest
with its long clusters of orange flow
ers. It has added beauty to many
log tobacco barns and posts and could
be used on fences and pergolas around
the house. The Queen of the Fall is
the fairy-like Clematis (Paniculate).
Every garden should have this.
Dogwoods and haws make good
combinations for screen plantings.
Mix in a few gall berries or Myrtles.
Does plum thicket with the deli
cate blossoms entice you to linger,
especially if some evergreen tree
forms a background for the frail
beauty? These too form inexpensive
screen plantings. Do not let's for
get the fringe tree and the mimosa.
The most beautiful small tree is the
Loblolly Bay. It is one of the most
difficult to, transplant . but' is worth
the effort to try. Sweet Bay, sweet

Most pines can be transplanted suc
cessfully if small specimens are tak
en. They should be used more for
windbreaks and background -planting,
Each section ' furnishes varieties
suitable for transplanting locally.
The handsomest trees of the East
are the live oaks. No other tree can
compete with them. 1 The .Cypress
giants laden with Spanish moss, also
impress, all visitors to the East.
These trees may be planted in damp
places and are most picturesque if
planted with pines near a waters
edge. Try a few of . these in and
around your pond ; or lake. Plant
Cherokee roses and wistaria on a few
and watch the reflections in the sur
face of the water. '

1937 Farm Income
Jumps 13 Per Cent
North Carolina's J principal farm
crops brought . $1941,587,000 in 1937,
an. increase of 13 percent: over, 1936,
according to Julian Mann, extension
statistician at State College.
This increase of nearly $26,000,000
was brought about by the above
average prices received for the bump
er tobacco crop produced last year.
Mann said.
Government payments tor partici
pation in the Agricultural Conserva
tion program jumped sharply in 1937.
In 1936 the payments amounted to
$4,802,000, while last year farmers
received a total of $12,217,000.
