The Coral Gables Times

Any time is the right time for the fabulous gardens at Longwood

wood for 30 years and finally endowed it as a foundation in 1937. He also built the ballroom where today horticultural organizations meet for conferences, and the public attends free lectures or listens to organ recitals. The classes for home gardeners are especially popular, and in the summer concerts and musicals are given in a large outdoor theater. Orchids are in bloom at Longwood every week of the year; there is a special dry greenhouse for cacti and succulent plants; and the tropical-plant display and the Tropical Terrace are in other glasshouses which must be kept as moist and warm as a rain forest. In the Banana House you will always find either blooms or fruit and sometimes both. The Rose House is exciting to visit at this time of year, when the many hybrid teas are beginning to bloom again after their late-autumn rest, with brilliant bougainvillea and other subtropical vines climbing above them. In late December, too, the acacias are beginning to flower in the Acacia Passage, and by mid-January they are like a burst of fragrant sunlight. The Camellia House is best in February and March, though some camellias may be in bloom now. April and May are the months for the rhododendrons and the Azalea Conservatory, while the greenhouses devoted to grapes and espaliered fruits are most interesting to visit in the spring and summer. The flower gardens are wonderfully rewarding, too, from earliest spring until frost nips the late chrysanthemums. The Lilac Collection, the Flower Walks, the Peony Garden, the Maze, and the Rock Garden offer their separate delights, and the Cutting Garden is profitable to visit. Longwood's water gardens are equal to the best in Italy. Just below the Main Conservatory two "canals" with many water jets are found, while on the lowest level are great pools with more jets inside an ilex border and level lawns, framed by pleached Norway maples, squarely clipped like enormous hedges. Every Wednesday and Sunday evening at dusk, from mid-May to mid-October a free Fountain Display is offered. At the height of the show about 10,000 gallons of water per minute are being thrown into the air. Near the Information Center there is a large vegetable and herb garden where new varieties are constantly being tried out and compared with the good old stand-bys. In short, we urge you to see and enjoy Longwood Gardens. Whether you go now for the holiday displays or at any other season of the year, it is worth a trip across the continent. For further information and schedules of events, write to Visitors' Information, Longwood Gardens, Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. Exotic fruits and flowers thrive in the rain-forest humidity of the Tropical Terrace.

There's no USO in Peoria

With good reason. Peorian GI's are not staying in Peoria. They're protecting our frontiers of peace. And that's where the USO is. USO serves GI's where spiritual uplift and homey relaxation is needed now, more than ever before. For winning the peace is a lonely battle. Of the 2,750,000 GI's, over half are under 25 ... away from home for the first time. But more USO's are needed. That means more money. Not for Peoria. But for its son, guarding the city limits in far-off lands. Don't let him wonder... "Does anybody know I'm here?" Support the USO through United Fund or your Community Chest.
