Page vi If a man be a Botanist, here is a plentiful Field of Plants to divert him in; If he be a Gardener, and delight in that pleasant and happy Life, he will meet with a Climate and Soil, that will further and promote his Designs, in as great a Measure, as any Man can wish for.... John Lawson, A New Voyage to Carolina, 1709 ... the Country is productive of everything. Mark Catesby to Dr. William Sherard, 1722 ... I should give you but little respite till you came into the country and attended to the beauties of pure nature unassisted by art. Eliza Lucas Pinckney to Miss Bartlett, 1742 Carolina is in the spring a paradise, in the summer a hell, and in the autumn a hospital. Johann David Schoepf, Travels in the Confederation, 1788 My imagination thus wholly engaged in the contemplation of this magnificent landscape, infinitely varied, and without bound, I was almost insensible or regardless of the charming objects more within my reach.... William Bartram, Travels through North and South Carolina, 1791 Although some attempts have been made to ascertain the vegetable productions of South Carolina; yet much remains still unexplored. John Drayton, A View of South Carolina, 1802

Page vii Is there a tree in the world more worthy of admiration than our Magnolia Grandiflora, the majestic native of our woods? Our Azaleas, Phlox, Scarlet Lobelias, Jasmines, Honeysuckles, etc. give to the woods of Carolina a charm, which not only fills the heart of the lover of nature with delight, but causes even dullness to pause, wonder and admire. John Bachman, "An Address Delivered before the Horticultural Society of Charleston," 1833 At Table Rock, they [travelers] will be in the hands of the veteran guide, Mr. Sutherland, with whom I will leave them, with the assurance, that however high conceptions they may have formed of this noble rock, they will not be disappointed. Michael Tuomey, Report on the Geology of South Carolina, 1848 The mind trained to comprehend nature, can in these [Arborvitae, Magnolia, and Gardenia] distinguish the differences in the vital developments of Northern and Southern organic vegetable being. John Perkins Barratt, "Gardens and Their Influence on Civilization," 1854 When the small size of our State is remembered, it will be admitted that few regions are so largely favored by nature. Oscar Montgomery Lieber, "South Carolina: Her Natural Resources and Agricultural Products," 1859
