pie? Really inspired?
A friend dropped by for a visit1
a few days ago and gave me thei
lift I needed.
He lives on 150 acres on the
Neuse River in northern Wake 1
County and is “surrounded by
biology. When you retire, be tells
me, by all means surround your- 1
self with things biological be
cause there is alwtays something
of interest to be found in the ma
ny plant species and in the insect
kingdom. “I have more than 500
plant species on my 150 acres,
most of which 1 have identified
and card indexed.”
Dr. Bertram W. WIells was for
many years Head of the Depart
ment of Botany at N. C. State
College. In 1932 he published a
book “The Natural Gardens of
North Carolina.” This book has
long since 'been out of print and
should be revised.
I wish that some of you gard
en clubbers would help me revive
interest in this project so that we
might bring the data up-to-date
and make the volume again a
vailable to the thousands of Nor
th Carolina citizens who would
like to purchase a copy.
You have guessed by now that
Dr. Wells is the person I had in
mind when I began this column.
Physically, he has changed very
little, although he has been re
tired for some ten years. His en
thusiasm for the biological scien
ces is unbounded. In addition, he
is an artist in his own right. It
seems that there is never a dull
moment in his life.
Perhaps this little verse by
Dorothy iB. Strauss is emblematic
of the philosophy of OB. Wells and
accounts, at least in part, for his
fresh and effervescent outlook:
“Count your garden by the flow
ers,
>t*ra uy Liie leaves inai ran;
-ount your days by golden hours,
>>n’t remember clouds at all.
3ount your nights toy stars, not
shadows,
-ount your life by smiles, not
tears,
^.nd on this and each' tomorrow
jaunt your age by friends, not
years.”

with the evil purpose of injuring
his family and posterity, and to
