Continuing our tour of the But- chart gardens we leave the spac- ious lawns with the herbaceous borders for later inspection. we saunter along a woodland ath. This brings us to the top 0 the walls of the sunken garden. which is spread out some fifty feet low - a breath-taking panorama of color. The walls are hung with Ivy and creepers. Directly below is tha switchback path we shall follow. winding through a large rockery where gentians. ssxi- frsges, candytuft, pentstemons and other rock and alpine plants a- bound.

At the bottom, the central path winds gracefully between bed af- ter of perennials with flower- ing trees and shrubs planted right up to the base of the towering walls. cutcroppings of rock are dottsd with clumps of glory of the snow h winter and are covered with rambler roses in summer. In the middle distance is a tower- lag rock island overlooking the still waters of a large artificial lake.

-As we wind our way to the floor of the old quarry. new vistas of flowering loveliness are revealed. Is this section extensive use is made of the weeping rosebud Ja- panese cherry. A little further on just as we come to an open stretch of lawn which ends at the lake. are two fine specimens of the arbor-vitsa. These trees have the aDP0Iranos of systematic trimming but in reality are naturally symmetric ' and their dense foli-

' age has a spectacular effect. The margin of the lake is dotted with azaleas. flowering cherry. plum trees and the dwarf Japanese maple - both cutleaf and regular varieties - whose marvellous col-

Azsleaa. dwarf juniper. cut-leaf Eaplu.nd primulas are all around us. Here we see the dou- hlue marsh-niarlgold, with its love- ly bloom. and the large-leaved, rhubarb like plant Gunners. which provoke much .coi.nment.

' O

The marsh-marigold grows here in our province and early in spring near my childhood home the marshes were golden with- these lovely flowers. . .

Reaching the other side of the lake by ,a path following the shore line, we look back and notice the reflection of the flowers in r the water. All around us are iris. azaleas. flowering Japanese crab. sy ' and purple-leav- ed flowering plums.

An arm of the lake winds around the rock island and beside it dwarf beds of pink and white astilbes nestle at the feet of beautiful weep- ing willows. (Astibles have grown here in the garden for years and they are one of my favorite peren- nials. requiring very little care ex- cept plenty of moisture.)

The rock island is planted on the sides with alpines and dwarf shrubs and there is s stairway leadlng.to its summit where climb- ing roses. flowering trees and na- tive arbutus abound. How lovely it must be in early.spring' the

Tucked away in a shady corner is the famous "blue POPPY" of Tibet. Mrs. Butchart was one of the first in North America to have this rare and delicate flower -the Edinburgh Botannical G a r d e n a shared their first seeds with her.

We now have a choice of two roofs: one. s tulip-bordered path win ing around the nursery garden to an old ivy-colored barn and bird-houses overgrown with climb- ing roses; the other (which we take) skirts the south border of the nursery and passes a rhododendron grove. i turn to the left brings us by a short path to the rose gar- den with its central circular lawn surrounded. by dwarf boxwood hedges and s flag-stone walk. The rosebuds ' ' many varieties of the hybrid tea rose.

Standing at the entrance we see to our right a "wishing well" of Italian wrought iron work. A rose arbor leads to the upper lawn and a herbaceous border covered by rose arches. spaced some thirty feet apart. This joins the penny- bordered path leading from the bird houses. The rose garden is at its best in June and early in July and the beautiful illustrations I have seen of the roses and the wealth of color is indeed a sight! Hedges of fragrant English laven- der and the dwarf polysnthus roses make the garden more wonderful all season.

The Japanese garden contains many of the shrubs and plants used in Japanese gardens. also a lacquered bridge. small summer- houses and especially the Japanese iris. Woodland walks leading from this area are lined with maiden- bair fern and lily-of-the-valley.

To evaluate the present we must constantly keep reviewing the past.

Just l0O,yeors can almost to the day. by on not of the Legislature of the (then) colony. CHARLOTTE TOWN was

Incorporated.

THEN, as now, CHARLOTTETOWN was the centre of comm sroo for the colony, now the Province of Prince Edward Island. Its shops, offices and industries were essential to the prosperity not only of the community but to the whole colony. As the Centennury of the incorporation of CHARLOTTETOWN continues to be celebrated this year we are given an opportunity to look back, which we can do with justifiable pride, on the continuous progress which has

bosvi mods. PROGRESS does not lust happen with a Business or with a community - It is MADI.

WHO wars the people who made the community and province progressive? THEY were in large part "I5I.ANDERI” - your forefathers, yourselves and your sons and daughters - mostly native to this province. They were our boys

and girls, our men and woman who with vision, confidence and a deep sense of loyalty STRUGGLED, SAVED and

REINVESTED in the enterprises of their own choosing and of their own making.

THE MERCHANTS of CHARLOTTETOWN were not the least of those who through the years. In addition to operating I business gave leadership and worked unselfishly for community improvement. Few merchants have accumulated wealth but all have spent within the limits of what they could afford to improve the premises they occupy and to

keep modernized the areas In which they offer their goods for solo.

HAVE OUR MERCHANTS ACCEPTED THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES AND DISCHARGED THEIR DUTIES TO THIS COMMUNITY AND PROB- INCE?

THE ANSWER IS YES -BECAUSE:

A-IF you compare Charlottetown as a shopping centre, with any Community of its size, anywhere you have over been, you will undoubtedly concur with previous observers who have given Chrlottatown the reputation of be-

lng one of the finest.

The stores are generally modern (within "'00 meansof the onerotorsl, the management is alert, tine merchan-

charities often to a degree beyond which they can afford. I

C-The "local" merchants, give generously of their time and talents to every worthwhile community service. They Ira

D-Through is century of successful merchandising the merchants have made such a reputation for Charlottetown
