D. Bellingrath, and brought -to breath-taking beauty and nature’s most perfect -setting of Southern shrubs and foliage and towering -age-old oaks.

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 -<span class="pb" id="Page_3">3</span> -their heads a mesh to keep the troubles of a distraught -world from penetrating into this place of -beauty, quietude and peace.</p> -<div class="img"> -<img src="images/p05.jpg" alt="(uncaptioned)" width="478" height="731" /> -</div> -<p>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.

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.</p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_4">4</div> -<h2 id="c1"><span class="small"><span class="blue i">“Charm Spot of the Deep South”</span></span></h2> -<div class="img"> -<img src="images/p06.jpg" alt="(uncaptioned)" width="700" height="702" /> -</div> -<div class="pb" id="Page_5">5</div> -<div class="img"> -<img src="images/p07.jpg" alt="(uncaptioned)" width="800" height="487" /> -</div> -<div class="img"> -<img src="images/p08.jpg" alt="(uncaptioned)" width="800" height="490" /> -</div> -<div class="pb" id="Page_6">6</div> -<p>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.

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.

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.</p> -<p>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.</p> -<h3 class="center">ACT I.</h3> -<p>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 -<span class="pb" id="Page_12">12</span> -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.</p> -<div class="img"> -<img src="images/p14.jpg" alt="(uncaptioned)" width="655" height="800" /> -</div> -<h3 class="center">ACT II.</h3> -<p>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.</p> -<p>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, -<span class="pb" id="Page_13">13</span> -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.</p> -<div class="img"> -<img src="images/p15.jpg" alt="(uncaptioned)" width="800" height="625" /> -</div> -<div class="img"> -<img src="images/p15a.jpg" alt="(uncaptioned)" width="800" height="606" /> -</div> -<h3 class="center">ACT III.</h3> -<p>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.</p> -<h3 class="center">ACT IV.</h3> -<p>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.</p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_14">14</div> -<div class="img" id="fig3"> -<img src="images/p15b.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="801" /> -<p class="pcap">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.</p> -</div> -<div class="pb" id="Page_15">15</div> -<div class="img" id="fig4"> -<img src="images/p16.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="672" /> -<p class="pcap">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.”</p> -</div> -<div class="pb" id="Page_16">16</div> -<div class="img" id="fig5"> -<img src="images/p16a.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="805" /> -<p class="pcap">Age-old romance and history have been woven into this magnificent home -of Mr. and the late Mrs. Walter D.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. - -Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project -Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be -freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and -distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of -volunteer support. - -Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed -editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in -the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included.
