average sort. inasmuch as most of the flowers
that have place in colonial garden are of the
oldfashioned hardy sort. There are, however
some features Of the layout of the flower beds
that render the colonial garden distinctive, and
particularly Is this the with the neatly
trimmed little hedges that serve as borders for
the various flower beds and In many instances
supply screens and boundary markers for the
garden.
In the case of many Of the older gardens all
or portion of these hedges are formed Of the
F. richly tinted and sweet scented box. Indeed it
is the presence OF this shrub which is likely to
distinguish genuine colonial garden from the
newer sort OF floral setting. For be 1t known the
box is very difficult to transplant successfully
some say impossible-and 1t is of very slow
growth So much 30, indeed that handsome
hedge of box is more likely than not to represent
the fruits Of a century more of care and atten-
ton. Withal the box will grow fairly well II left
to itself and only given time, but the watchful
care of a gardener is required II 1T is desired
to restrict it to certain limits. as. for instance
the borders Of flower beds.
In the days preceding and following the Revo
luton there were colonial gardens in all the thir
teen original states. but the finest Of these
located in Virginia. Nor this to be
dered at, for the Old Dominion was at that time
the seat OF the most notable country seats in the
new world History tells of the magnificent
tates maintained by George Washington. Thomas
Jefferson. Madison, Monroe and other prominent
Virginians Of that period, but there were dozens
of other wealthy landed proprietors who. though
perhaps not nationally prominent, lived in the
same baronial style their expansive planta
tons and had the slave labor that contributed so
much to the development of such estates Co
lonial garden was not only an inevitable adjunct
of Virginia estate In those days of lavish liv
ing, but 1t was in many instances the special
pride and hobby of the lord or mistress of the
manor house.
Now, strange to say, surprising number of
these old colonial gardens retain to this day
much of their odtme spendor. We say surpris-
ing, because it must be remembered that when
the devastating tide Of great Civil war swept
Virginia 1t played havoc with many an
cestral estate and 1t would be too much to expect
that the gardens should suffer as did the
mansions. Furthermore many of the old vir-
g1nia families have been In greatly reduced cir
cumstances since the and have not had the
means to maintain the old gardens in the
ner that their ancestors did That in spite Of
these conditions the colonial gardens In the state
known "The Mother of Presidents" retain
much OF their beauty and fascination is a tribute
to the advantages Of this form OF gardening.
There are formal gardens In old vir.
ginia, but for the most part the gardens what
are known informal. suggestive Of natures
