C-8 CARDEN WNERS N NONDUALTY Beautiful Arrangement of Shrubs and Flowers Found in Georgetown Yards. BY GRETCHEN S. SMITH. After glimpsing a few of the old gar- | dens which will be open to the public on May 14 under the auspices of the Georgetown Welfare Council, it becomes apparent that individuality is as pos- sible to achieve in a back yard as it is in a drawing room or in dress. Though it be but the setting out of @ shrub or the arranging of “colorful groups, there is something different to be found in each of these lovely old Georgetown places which are opening their garden gates to the public next ‘week. Carrying on the traditions of one of Georgetown’s most famous gardeners, Mrs Elliot Goodwin, Mrs. Henry Leon- ground for her children, inclosed in an oval setting of baby boxwood, bordered with irls. Mrs, Finkenstaedt's grounds are ious enough to permit a small base ball diamond for her son. But the | diamond is a grassy lawn and in o way mars the rustic charm of the garden, which, two years ago, when first occu- pled by the Finkenstaedts, was a weed- grown tangle Mrs. McCormick’s Place. No place proves so effectively what can be done with grounds in a short space of time as Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mc- Cormick’s place, which is a nearby neighbor OF Mrs, Leonard's and Mrs. Finkenstaedt’s. Last November, Mrs. McCormick's garden was but another of the rubbish filled back yards which abound in Georgetown. Under the direction of Miss Rose Greely, the place has become one of the most artistically landscaped outdoor retreats in the Dis- trict. Mrs. McCormick’s garden has been laid out upon the elevated portion of her property and is reached by steps which ascend from the flagstone ter- race below. Flagstones have been used for the broad walk around the grounds, as well as a terrace at one side arranged with attractive garden furniture. In the center of the garden, is an electric fountain, whose spraying waters should prove an attraction to the birds of the neighborhood on warm Summer days. Pilgrims to Georgetown’s Gardens will enjoy the fact that many of those to be opened are in the same neighborhood. Across the street from Mrs. Finken- ard, what at present is visiting in Italy and who bought her home from Mrs. Goodwin, has spared neither time nor | expense in making the spacious grounds | in the rear of her home a vista of | i loveliness. | Fine Old Boxwood Tree. From the house one steps into an old brick courtyard in the center of which | stands a gnarled apple tree. In thic part of her yard Mrs. Leonard has one of the finest boxwood trees in George- town. The apple tree and the box- wood stand upon an elevation which overlooks a sunken garden with rock flowers of innumerable varieties grow- ing in ledges and surrounding the gold fish pool, which is a refreshing bit in the Leonard garden. One cannot help but remark upon | the beauty of the heather, which grows in a profusion unsurpassed even in its native Scotland. A rosa mimosa is one of the rare trees of this particular garden, but it is feared the blossoms will have completely fallen by the day it is opened to the public. This is true of 50 many of the gardens. Their own- | ers lament the fact that many of the rettiest Spring flowers already will glve had their day of blooming by May 14, while on the other hand, many of | the gardens will have their most perfect blossoms for the occasion. Next to the garden of Mrs. Leonard, ong passes through a green gate to the garden of her neighbor, Mrs. Finken- staedt, who has made a lovely play- steadt’s home on N street is that of one THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, of the bachelors of Capitol Hill, Sena- | tion, has placed a huge terra cotta jar, tor Ty« Senator { which gives a vivid splash of color to the yard amid a setting of green shrubs and Spring flowers.

Tydings has proved that the ladles are not the only ones who enjoy a quiet outdoor retreat, as he has designed a cozy little garden, surrounded by a brick wall, where he can retire to think. It is a delightful garden, so cozy and private, and is overlooked by the Sena- tor’s dining rvom, which opens upon the small veranda from which one descends to the garden. Old brick has been used in the erection of the garden wall, which though practically new, has the mellowed appearance of age. Home of Mr. and Mrs. Thaw. About two blocks from Senator Tyd- ings’ home on N street, stands the fine old house of Mr. and Mrs. A. Blair Thaw, which one must pas through to reach the garden in the rear. There are two unique features in the Thaw’s gar- den: one an old brick wall, which one| is told has passed the century mark, and the other a fig tree, which due to a late season only now is beginning to put forth its leaves. garden, Mrs. Thaw, who has gained fame as a portrait painter of distinc- PIANOS TO RENT $5 Per Month DE MOLL’S duck shooting in late fall. way.
