Raleigh, April 1.-Two of the
Soutn's most noted estates will he

Saturday. the Department of Conser-
walton and Development has been in-
formed by the Wilmington Chamber
of Commerce.
The two, noted for their magnifi
cant azalea gardens, are Airlie, be-
tween Wilmington and Wrightsville,
and the Orion Plantation, in Bruins
wick county, some 18 miles south Of
Wilmington on the banks of the Cape
Fear.

ton and its gardens will be included
in the notable New Hanover AMI

den Club tour, April 9 to 13.
The azaleas of these two estates ara
regarded as among the most beautiful
in the entire South. More and more

camelias and japonicas.
In addition to these two spots, visi-

turity, but it is one of the outstand-
ing beauty spots in North Caroline
even now.
Orion Plantations are interesting
from an historical standpoint, as the
present manson house dates from
1928 and is one of the few remaining
pre-Revolutionary mansions still
standing and in use. 1t is the country
home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. Laurence
