OUR ONLY TEA GARDEN.
How the Chinese Leaf Is Grown
In South Carolina.
visit to DR.. shepard-HIs Experiments
in Tea Culture and Hopes for the
Future of the Industry in
This Country.

How would you like to pick cup of
tea?
Rather an odd idea, isn't it? But
that is what people at Summerville, S.
G., in the odorous pine woods, can do.
The natives are too accustomed to
drinking the homegrown beverage to
care much about the amusement, but
the northern visitors are pleased with
the novelty. and few ever come to this
section without including Pinehurst in
their itinerary, so as to tell the folks ''at
home" that they picked tea off the
bushes.
Pinehurst! The name leaves pleas
ant taste on the tongue. Entering the
South Carolina railroad train in the
gloomy Charleston depot, ride of
about forty minutes through a country
fat as pancake, with here and there
cypress marsh relieving the white
monotony of the soil, brings you to
Summerville, the resort of Charleston's s
elite in summer as we'll as in winter,
where the pine needles cover the
ground SO thiclly that one has to kick
up two or three inches of them before
he comes to the light, sandy loan so
common in the lowlands of the Caro-
linas. For the moment you notice little
else but the tall pine trees. Then build
ings appear here and thore in the for
est, and short walk brings you to the
Piney Woods inn, with its broad veran-
das and widely-opencd doors and win
dows, through which the air, heavily
laden with balsamic odor, is freely cir
culating. If anyone were to tell you
that the tea you drink after your meal
at the inn was grown, picked and cured
within three miles of the table where
you are sitting, you would probably
ridicule him. Tea on such waste Of
land! Well, this southern soil is very
deceptive, and what seems to be sterile
ground has elements that give straw
berry plants, peach and other fruit
trees, sweet potatoes and grapevines a
vigorous and rapid growth.
In this immediate locality it brings
out the tea shrub, forcing it along so
rapidly that the leaves are large.enough
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1895-08-22

its peculiar flavor. The sizes are then
sifted and fired" or thoroughly heat
cd, also by machinery. This is done
under the doctors personal supervision,
as upon the process depends much
of the flavor and coloring. The leaves
are strewn on metallic sheets and
placed in receptacle hot enough to
bake potatoes, The sheets are moved
from time to time and the rolled leaves
stirred by certain method so that all
receive uniform treatment. A few
moments too much or too little of this
firing" may spoil the flavor and the
color The utmost delicacy and ac-
curacy are required, and when the work
is over the expert can easily tell by his
senses of smell and taste just about
what price per pound the batch" will
sell for. After firing the tea is ready
to be packed and shipped The total
cost of picking and curing a pound of
Pinehurst tea is about twenty cents.
When it sells at one dollar per pound
handsome profit is realized.
Perhaps DR.. Shepard may consent TO
return to the inn with you. lie is
fond of spending part of his leisure
time there, and, as he settles down in
one of the big chairs on the veranda
and puts his feet on the railing, all
you have to do is to keep still, to hear
more about tea than you could get out
of a years study of the encyclopedias
He will tell about his first visit to the
Ashley river-he has been all over the
afru
tree which was planted in 1904, and is
now over twenty feet high, though the
leaves are not good for stepping pur-
poses. This is probably the first Of
its kind in America, and it gave him
the idea that tea could be raised and
have commercial value He brought
his knowledge of botany and chem
istry into play, and, after careful cal
culation, fixed upon Pinehurst as the
right spot for his experiments. He
owns five hundred acres of the pine
lands in that locality But here is his
hobby. 1t is TO prepare an American
tea which will bring twenty dollars per
pound from the consumer. "We do not
begin to get the best teas from China
and Japan" he says. "They send us
the sweepings and the most inferior
grades. The Japanese would not think
of drinking cup of the beverage we
call Japan tea. They have mandarin
teas, used by the higher classes, which
sell at from five to ten dollars per
pound in their country feel convinced
that l can raise even a better grade
here, which will realize twenty dollars
per pound il cured properly. OF course
it will require elaborate preparation,
but the result is worthy of tina expert
ment."
The home of the pioneer tea grove,
is also an attractive spot, few hun
dred yards from the factory. Surround
ed by the great pines, it's architecture
of the Queen Anne period, with wide
verandas and ornamental roof, it is, in.
deed, pleasant contrast to the monoto

beds and shrubbery flourish luxuriant

Mr.. Roche had seen it at the very
start, and tried by every means to keep
them separated.
But love will always find n way.
Dick and Nellie put their heads to-
gether one Sunday at church and
agreed to run away and get married on
the sly. And what was more fortunate
for them was the fact that the good
parson of the church resided on the
island and was in full sympathy with
the young couple.
The expectant bride was seated be-
side her betrothed, near the middle of
the foremost boat. She was spright-
ly, beautiful, black-eyed young wom-
an, whose cheeks rivaled the peach in
their color. There was world of mis-
chief lurking near her pretty mouth.
But to-day her checks were pale with
apprehension and her smiles were sad.

this is perhaps the most interesting
stage of all. Armed with sharp
knife, the field hand cuts. off in May
about half of the leaves and smaller
branches. If the growth has been
healthy the shrub throws out a new
foliage of leaves at once. These are
the tea leaves of commerce. They will
run from one to two inches in length, ac-
cording to the variety. They are picked
off as fast as they reach suitable size,
and the operation is repeated from May
until October as often as the lea res
come out. 1t is termed Gushing" The

to picl, for market when it is three
years old.
The only plantation on this continent
where tea Is grown successfully for the
market is not very large. DR.. Charles
U. Shepard, who is making tea culture
his life work, thinks twenty acres
enough to lay out in gardens at present,
though, eventually, he expects to double
this area. And it is a queer looking
patch, this twenty acres. The doctor
has simply made clearing in the
woods, and as the visitor energies from
the trees into the open space, he sees
what is apparently stunted peach
orchard, only the leaves are too small
and of very dark green. On closer
examination the leaves resemble those
on currant bushes, though they grow
stalks thick enough for three branches
Some plants are as high as the waist,
and some nearly as high as the head.
Planted at regular intervals and in
rows with branches carefully pruned,
they do resemble an orchard of small
fruit trees with the branches forlsing
like peaches. But it is not an orchard
it is garden similar to thousands in
China and other Asiatic countries. 1t
is genuine tea garden.
To those who have seen the cheap
prints and China representations of
tea bushes growing on mountain
sides, these straight rows along the
fat ground have an unfamiliar look,
but it sthn climate, and not SO much
the "lay of the land" that fosters
them. Right in this Carolina forest
the temperature happens to be the
best in the country for tea growing
1t is just about warm enough, and just
abou. moist enough, and heat combined
with moisture are two special require
ments to make good tea leaves. The
twenty acres of gardens" contain sew
eral thousand SHRUBS" we will call
them. From these the owner hopes to
secure this year about one thousand
pounds of black tea, which will retail
at one dollar to one dollar and forty
cents per pound. Last year his crop
was about five hundred pounds from an
area of fifteen acres; this is consider
ably better than raising cotton at the
present prices, SO he thinks.
The gardens contain shrubs raised
from tea seed imported from Japan,
China, Ceylon, Formosa and Assam
Asia; also what are called Assam hy-
brids, which are considered the most
profitable, and Ceylon hybrids, which
are obtained by mixing the seed of the
pure Assam or Ceylon with some other
grade. The shrubs grow six feet apart,
as they require a large amount OF

placed over the plants when the first

temperature which occur during the
year. The shrubs can be grown by
