Garden Editor, The Detroit Times
oh SPRING Is spring and fall
" Is fall and never the twain
shall meet! But it's in the fall
when planting must be done to
have flowers in the spring, and
it is hard when the first frosts
have done so much damage to
summer flowers to think in
terms of early spring bloom.
So I'm going to turn back the
calendar and describe for you
the beautiful spring gardens on
a lovely estate, named Tiverton.
1t Is situated outside Char
lottesville, Va, and is open to
the public during Garden Week.
which is timed to correspond
with the spring bulb season.
The reason -for..-picking--thiS
particular garden is that, though
designed and executed on a
lavish scale, it had so many
planting ideas that you and /
might copy in our smaller space.

The wide expanse of grass In
the center of the garden is white
alyssum and made interesting by
two life-size figures of cranes,
one on shore and one in the
pool.
These are painted white to
match the rest of the garden.
The upper gardens are hedged
with box tprivet would do just
as WELD and are laid out in
formal beds.
From the white" garden
steps descend to the lowest gar
den, which is considerably less
formal. Hedged with privet on
two sides and a rock retaining
wall where the stairs come
down, its fourth side is a low
wall. to prevent one from fall

Land, Sea and Air Forces Mesh Like Team
To Smash Jops' Moonlight Landing at Baton

The boats were about 10 feet long,
motor driven and carrying 80 to so
men each, protected by sheet metal
and armed with machine guns.
AS the japanese approached, the
American shore defenders curtained
the beaches with bullets and
Shrapnel.
With many Japanese struggling in
the water as the result of this fire,
others pushed on toward land.
U. S. Planes Slash at Japs.
American planes suddenly dived
out of the night. The pilots Sc
lected their targets in the moon
light, dropped their bombs, then
roared low and heavily strafed the

planes could be followed easily by
their tracer bullets. Sometimes they
came almost straight down, zoomed
and rolled in again at steep angles.
The Japanese warship anti-air-
craft guns sent tracer shells at the
planes Intellectually. AS the planes
roared off, an American patrol
vessel pitched into the middle of
the remaining Japanese boats and
attacked the warship, which still
was attempting to cover a landing
with its guns. The Japanese war
ship then fed under the attack.
Details of the Nays participation
cannot now be disclosed, but it can
be stated that the Navy was very
much in the midst Of the action.
Sailors, Aviators Repulsed Attack.

of Gen. Douglas Macarthur had
repulsed two new Japanese land
ing attempts on the west shores Of
Batan Peninsula.)
Battle Fought by Moonlight.
The battle was fought under
brilliant full moon. Against the
cloudless sky the tracer bullets of
machine guns and anti-aircraft
made flaming paths Of red and
orange death.
From a vantage point I watched
the firing, which started shortly
after midnight and continued for
three hours.
The Navy and Army co-ordinated
perfectly in beating off the Japanese
attempt.
The Japanese landing boats were
sighted far up the coast, escorted
by a warship-either a large des-
troye1 or a light cruiser.
Army shore defenses Immediately
were placed on the alert to repel
an enemy landing.
