Notable English Gardens 
The village of Broadway, in the county of 
Worchestershire, is one of Englands show 
places, and has actually been named the 
most beautiful town in Britain by some 
fervent admirers. Around this lovely old 
village, as is to be expected, many gracious 
gardens have been made during the centuries 
in which English gardening has climbed to 
its zenith of perfection, and not the least 
lovely of these is that which belonged to 
the great, American born, Shakespearian 
actress, Mary Anderson, who married An- 
tonio de Navarro in 1889 and thereafter 
settled in England, until her death in 1940. 
This fine garden, set in beautiful natural 
surroundings, is a delightful mixture of the 
formal and informal styles and the picture, 
shown on the December Cover, shows some 
examples of the fine topiary work for which 
it is justly famed. Many famous continental 
gardens in Europe can show unexampled 
perfection of design in the use of clipped 
trees and hedges, yet to some eyes, they lack 
the gracious softening which is attained by 
the careful use of flowers in association with 
their severity: In this Broadway garden we 
see the combination of topiary art and bril- 
liant garden flowers exploited to perfection, 
and the beautiful indigenous trees have beer 
cleverly adopted into the picture, garden 
melting into landscape with imperceptible 
skill which leads the eye from one to the 
other without a jar. 
By Will Ingwersen. 
GROWING THE SHASTA FIR 
In the 1930s we set out thousands of 
these beautiful trees to sell for Christmas 
trees in California: At that time we had the 
thought of growing some of these trees on 
cultivated ground to harvest as Christmas 
trees when they were large enough. 
The last year we did this was in 1940 and 
my husband dug up some seedlings where 
they were thick, packed them in moss and 
brought them home. 
I am not sure whether these are Abies 
magnifica or Abies nobilis, as we could 
not see any difference. They both grow 
only above 6,000 feet and have the same 
symetrical growth and beautiful long needles 
which have as beautiful color as the Colorado 
Blue Spruce. 
When we brought them down we were so 
busy, they were not planted for some 
time. They were small seedlings about 6 
inches tall. We set out about 50 shading 
them on the south side with a shingle. They 
received no further attention except disking 
between the rows every spring. They were 
not even watered the first summer so natur- 
ally when we counted them several years lat- 
er many had died but the ones that survived 
the first summer grew: 
We started to log and gave up the idea 
of growing the Silver Fir commercially 
and the place they were growing was sub- 
divided. This was three or four years ago. 
A lot of the people who bought places, dug 
up the little trees and put them in their front 
yards, so we decided to bring them to our 
new home on the river and plant them as 
ornamentals. Naturally people had taken the 
biggest ones, about 3 feet tall then, but we 
brought home about a dozen small ones. 
Since then they have had summer water- 
ing and they are growing about twice as fast. 
I believe it is their nature to grow slowly 
as I have read that in a park in California, 
they had grown about 3 feet in 10 years. 
In the mountains they grow very tall, often 
over 100 feet but always very narrow.
