The Augusta Chronicle tells us that the mild climate of Georgia is very favorable to gardening. A single red variety of the Camellia brought from England in 1808 or 1809 is now a fine tree in Charleston. It is 30 feet high and is of wonderful beauty when in blossom. The Olea fragrans and Magnolia fus-cata are popular evergreen shrubs. The public Park at Augusta was begun in 1881, and is very beautiful. The varieties of cypress and arbor vitass are the best of the terebinthine evergreens, and nothing is more prized than Magnolia grandi-flora. Tea Roses are perfectly at home after blooming in what may be called the winter season. Georgia has fifty commercial florists, and the taste for flowers and flower gardening is growing rapidly.
