It was -planned and created by the work and loving care of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. -Bellingrath, and brought to breath-taking beauty and nature’s most -perfect setting of Southern shrubs and foliage and towering age-old -oaks. And once within the magic portals of this place, enchantment grows -with every turn along the flower-banked way—for here dwells -beauty—unfolded in the myriad brilliant blooms on every hand. - - [Illustration: (uncaptioned)] - -Ethereal Azaleas and Camellias are everywhere, and Gardenias and Sweet -Olive fill the air with perfume that lingers along with memories of this -famous garden spot. Bridal-like pathways are strewn with falling petals -from the fragrant fragile flowers, and majestic arms of giant oaks—gray -draped with mystic Spanish moss—form cavelike arches overhead. The roses -have a corner of their own, where round and round in pattern of a giant -Rotarian Wheel they flaunt their gorgeous colors in strong young buds. -Old lavender Wisteria festoons its way along the redolent magnolia trees -and brilliant blue Hydrangeas and Altheas and dogwood add a glory all -their own to their respective seasons. Most every tree and shrub that -likes the gentle clime along the Gulf has made its home within the -hundred acres encompassed by the Bellingrath Gardens and found therein -the care that lends an added beauty to their untamed growth. The -clinging tendrils of a thousand vines have wound their way along the -friendly branches of the trees, and woven round their heads a mesh to -keep the troubles of a distraught world from penetrating into this place -of beauty, quietude and peace. - - [Illustration: (uncaptioned)] - -Quaint flagstone walks lead down to the rippling river—or off again to -loiter by the lake to watch the gliding swans along the lily pads, or -see the thousand yellow lilies dancing in reflection on the water’s -edge. The tinkled splash of fountained waters or the trilling tributes -of a wild bird accent the thrilling majesty that comes with peace and -beauty. - -And here has been established a home, superbly built of rich old brick -and traditional Southern iron grillwork. It is a perfect jewel in a -perfect setting into which age-old romance and history have been woven. -The lines of sturdy Norman grouping are softened and accented by the -rich-railed balconies and porticos that bring to mind the quaint courts -and cloisters of Southern Europe and the influence of Old France and -Spain upon the Gulf Coast colonies. - - - - - “Charm Spot of the Deep South” - - - [Illustration: (uncaptioned)] - - [Illustration: (uncaptioned)] - - [Illustration: (uncaptioned)] - -In Bellingrath Gardens the Southland boasts one of the loveliest garden -spots in all the world—the true “Charm Spot of the Deep South.” Serenely -conscious of the rare appeal and magnetism of ever-changing beauty, -Bellingrath Gardens offer an untold wealth of verdant foliage at any -time of the year the casual caller comes. In fall the mammoth -Chrysanthemums are magnificent and early winter brings the prized -collection of Camellias has in myriad brilliant hues. Spring coaxes -forth thousands of bulbous blossoms and the dazzling show of -Bellingrath’s far-famed Azaleas in every known variety. Then summer -comes to show its radiant colors in Southern Oleanders, Crepe Myrtle, -and Gardenias—and always—through the centuries gone and those years yet -to come, the giant bearded oaks and forest trees raise reverent arms as -if to bring this beauty nearer God. - - - - - Facts about the _glorious_ azaleas of Mobile _and Bellingrath Gardens_ - - -Though each season envelops the world in its own peculiar beauty and -charm, not the wildest dreams of the most fervid and keen imagination -can conjure the beauty of Bellingrath Gardens when Azaleas are blooming. -Thousands of them line the many rambling walks that wind over this -marvelous estate. Around the lily-bordered lake—Mirror Lake—you go -enthralled by the gigantic Azaleas that scatter their trillion petals -from the million flowers that cover a single bush. Mobile’s own romantic -history is closely interwoven with this gorgeous flower, and dates as -far back as the founding of the city in 1711. From carefully -authenticated sources it was learned that a young Frenchman living in -Mobile visited France to see his grandparents. So impressed was he by -the dazzling Azaleas that on his return to Mobile he brought back three -varieties; the pink, the purplish red, the white. And today in -Bellingrath Gardens you find some of the oldest and largest Azalea -bushes in America, specimen plants that have been collected at great -expense from old gardens all over the South, and transplanted here in a -perfect setting. - - [Illustration: _The plaque shown above was placed in Bellingrath - Gardens by the citizens of Mobile as a tribute to Mr. and Mrs. - Bellingrath and in appreciation of their civic work and the - development of lovely Bellingrath Gardens._] - -Looking down the pathway of the rustic bridge across Mirror Lake in -Bellingrath Gardens is a patriarch of the Azalea family. It is an early -pink, blooming generally around the middle of February. When in full -bloomage, the gorgeous mass of flowers completely hides the green -foliage of this rare bush, which is more than 26 feet in diameter, 14 -feet high and 80 feet in circumference. Involuntary exclamations of -delight as the visitor reaches this spot is an invariable tribute to the -overwhelming beauty of this giant Azalea. - - [Illustration: _Numerous Giant Azalea Bushes Greet the Visitor to - Bellingrath Gardens_ - - _When you visit Bellingrath Gardens in the spring, there are other - outstanding attractions of the Southland you’ll want to see. One of - these is Mobile’s Azalea Trail in the late winter and early spring, - a glamorous 17-mile tour of flower-lined streets. Another - interesting event, usually in March, is the New Orleans Spring - Fiesta, featuring Ante-Bellum Homes, Gardens, French Quarter Tours, - and other attractions. You’ll enjoy a visit, too, at this season to - Natchez during Pilgrimage Time._] - - - - - What others say about - B_ellingrath_ G_ardens_ - - - [Illustration: (uncaptioned)] - -Fascinating scenes like those pictured here inspire many extravagant -words of praise by visitors to Bellingrath Gardens. - -The renowned columnist, Dorothy Dix, makes this statement: - - “_I have seen the beautiful gardens all over the world—in France, - England, Germany, Japan, as well as in this country—but I have never - seen anything so gorgeous as Bellingrath Gardens._” - - ★ - -Mr. Rufus C. Dawes, President of the Chicago World’s Fair, was equally -as complimentary: - - “It is the most beautiful and best developed garden I ever visited.” - - ★ - -Another famous visitor, Mr. Harrison Jones, Executive Vice-President of -the Coca-Cola Company, had this to say: - - “_The Bellingrath Gardens on Fowl River are one of the most - magnificent in the world._” - - ★ - -Mr. Harper Sibley, Past President of the Chamber of Commerce of the -United States, visited Bellingrath Gardens and writes: - - “_I had, of course, long heard of your wonderful Azaleas—but I was - completely overwhelmed by the magnificence and the sweep of - Bellingrath Gardens. As it happens, I have studied landscape - architecture and have had the privilege of visiting many of the most - beautiful gardens in the world, in America, on the Continent, down in - Italy, and in such remote places as Kashmir and Japan, but these - gardens of Mobile rank with the very finest anywhere._” - - ★ - -In a feature article appearing in Better Homes and Gardens Elmer T. -Peterson had this to say: - - “_Bellingrath Gardens are authoritatively listed near the top among - the most beautiful gardens in the United States, and when you have - seen them you will not doubt._” - - - - - _A Garden Pageant in Four Acts_ - - - [Illustration: (uncaptioned)] - -Like a pageant in four acts, each with a climax—that is the description -of the “Charm Spot of the Deep South” known all over the world as -Bellingrath Gardens of Mobile, Alabama. Here in these world-famed -Gardens the show goes on throughout the year, with each season putting -on a new act, and bringing forth a new spectacle—a continual parade of -changing colors to enchant the visitor every month of the year. - -Formerly a semitropical jungle, Bellingrath Gardens are now a perfumed -theatre, the air sweet from the mingled odors of growing plants and -flowers. A symphony of fragrance! That’s the orchestra to this flowering -performance in this sixty-acre garden, the owners of which were Mr. and -the late Mrs. Walter D. Bellingrath. Theirs was a magician’s art, and -from a wild, untamed land of magnolias, moss-draped live and water oaks, -bays and pines, they have wrought a spectacular scene of color. Every -twenty feet in Bellingrath Gardens is a vista, some special picture, a -never-to-be-forgotten view. There are murmuring fountains and singing -cascades and flagstone paths that breathe romance. It is indeed a -paradise for nature lovers, a rare and lovely garden that justifies a -thousand-mile journey, and each year thousands come from afar and view -this marvelous spectacle. - - - ACT I. - -There’s a beauty that beggars description. That is the beauty one finds -in Bellingrath Gardens. The first act of the Bellingrath Gardens Show -opens in October, when the wondrous Camellias begin to bloom. The -Camellia Japonica has no equal in the plant world for its beauty and -fitness for the glorification of the home and garden. A native of Japan, -it was introduced through European channels to Mobile about one hundred -years ago. Possibly some five or six hundred varieties exist, embracing -many types and colors. Pure white through every shade of pink to deep -red and crimson, ending with some blooms having a decided purplish cast, -no other flowering plant can give such a diversity of types, a range -baffling description. Singles, semidoubles, peony flowering types, some -with dense pompon centers, other shaggy flowers with center petals -whirled and twisted, full doubles of every conceivable type. Again some -varieties are solid colors, others have variegation through the petals; -some are mottled; others are striped and others have petals of various -colors throughout the flowers. The varieties of Camellia Japonica having -a tendency to show variegation are a never-ending source of expectation -and admiration. The charm and amazing variety of the Camellia Japonica -found in Bellingrath Gardens quickly convince the visitor that here is -one of the most remarkable collections of this beautiful flowering shrub -ever gathered together. Small wonder that Act I is an invariable -success. - - [Illustration: (uncaptioned)] - - - ACT II. - -In the middle of Act I the Camellia Japonica is joined by its costar, -the Azalea, and together they march on triumphantly to the enthusiastic -applause of an appreciative audience. During January and February the -Camellia Japonica reaches its heights, graciously yielding the spotlight -to the glorious Azalea as the scene changes from winter to spring. There -are no fitting words to describe the colorful and appealing drama of the -dainty Camellia Japonica meeting the glorious Azalea when both are at -their best. It is an act that never fails—a spectacle never to be -forgotten. - -Of the countless number of words written to describe the beauty that -catches the eye during Act II, nothing yet has been written or said to -do justice to the varicolored Azalea plants in their fullest bloom. “The -Flaming Drama of the South” it has been appropriately called in Better -Homes and Gardens. The plants range in size from the midget variety to -those ancient bushes that grow to the extent of over 100 feet in -circumference, with their histories dating back over two centuries. When -the Azalea plant is in full bloom, every vestige of foliage is entirely -smothered in the crimson, coral, white or purple flowers that the bush -may bear. It is not surprising that the startling performance of the -amazingly brilliant Azalea should be rewarded by a tremendous ovation -from an enthralled audience of many thousands. Nowhere in the world is -the gorgeous Azalea found in a setting so fitting as in Bellingrath -Gardens. - - [Illustration: (uncaptioned)] - - [Illustration: (uncaptioned)] - - - ACT III. - -Slowly recovering from the rapture and absorbing drama of the Azalea in -full bloom, Bellingrath Gardens open Act III in their charming spring -dress. Various shades of green stand out in relief as young leaves take -the place of old. Ancient live oaks, water oaks, bays, magnolias, -cedars, pines, holly and dogwood take on new hues and assume their roles -in this show with magnificent beauty and splendor. Mountain Laurel and -the double-flowered white Spiraea brighten the stage with their delicate -blossoms. The colorful Hydrangea and the fragrant Gardenia do a -specialty act of their own that is one of the hits of the season. - - - ACT IV. - -New actors and actresses add their beauty to the cast as summer drifts -by. The Crepe Myrtle, the Oleander, the Magnolia, the Hibiscus, the -Allamanda and numerous other colorful flowers help make the Bellingrath -Gardens Show the wonderful pageant that it is. Summer fades into fall, -and as the final curtain is lowered the audience reluctantly leaves with -happy smiles and fond memories of the “Charm Spot of the Deep South”: of -dexterous landscaping: of gray Spanish moss draping branches of noble -oaks and cypresses and forming backdrop curtains for the thrilling drama -continuously being produced way down South in Bellingrath Gardens. - - [Illustration: Enchanting flagstone walks wind their peaceful way - through Bellingrath Gardens—a man-made rivulet trickles down a - stairway of stone—the charming collection and amazing variety of the - Camellia Japonica in this dream garden—these and many other scenes - never fail to enchant the visitor.] - - [Illustration: A fountain, canopied by waving gray moss, presents - one of the loveliest scenes in this “Charm Spot of the Deep South.” - It seems to whisper, “Here We Rest.”] - - [Illustration: Age-old romance and history have been woven into this - magnificent home of Mr. and the late Mrs. Walter D.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg -Literary Archive Foundation - -Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide -spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of -increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be -freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest -array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations -($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt -status with the IRS. - -The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating -charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United -States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a -considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up -with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations -where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND -DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular -state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate - -While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we -have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition -against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who -approach us with offers to donate. - -International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make -any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from -outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. - -Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation -methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other -ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To -donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate - -Section 5.
