B—4 TOUR OF GARDENS | SETFOR TESDAY Chevy Chase Benefit Exhibits Will Open Many Displays for First Time. More than a score of the most at- | tractive gardens in the older section | of Chevy Chase, Md., will be opened to the public for the first time on ‘Tuesday, when the Chevy Chase Garden ! Club of Maryland will hold its first| annual garden tour for the bencfit of | the Montgomery County Social Service League. In case of inclement weather, the tour will be postponed until Wed- nesday.. The date has been set late in the month so that the wonderful rcse and peony displays of this neighbor- | hood, as well as the early Summer annuals and perennlals, will be at their most luxurient period. The tour has been planned by Mrs. Richard Fay Jackson and her com- mittee with the velw of providing gar- den enthusiasts with a complete pan- orama of garden possibilitics. Such show places as Abremont, the home of Mr. and Mrs, Henry Parscns Erwin the William S. Corby place, at Chevy Chase Circle, and Woodend, the estate of Capt. and Mrs. Chester Wells, will be the “high spots” of the tour, while equally interesting 1l be a number | of smartly planned, smaller gardens, | abounding in suggestions and inspira- tion for every amateur gardener. Historic Homes on Tour, Historic interest of an enthralling gort is implied in visits to Hayes, the 170-year-old Colonial manor of Mr. and Mrs, G. Thomas Dunlop, and to Brook Farm, the quaint Revolutionary home of Dr. and Mrs. Frank Shultz Eighteenth century memories, both grim and gay, hover around these old homes. The galleried house at Brook Farm still bears the marks of enemy | cannon, while back of Hayes Manor, in a sunny corner of the strawberry garden, is the grave of Parson Alexan- der Williamson, the rock-ribbed old Tory who built the mansion and later was unfrocked because of his royalist | leanings. He spent his remaining days among the roses and lilacs of Hayes, then a 700-acre estate named after the Hayes of County Kent in England, and cheered h% spirit at the same time by drinking a few hearty toasts to King George. After his death the estate wag pur- chased in 1782 by James Dunlop, a young Scotchman newly arrived in this country. Six generations of Dun- lops now have lived at Hayes. Like Parson Williamson, they have preferred to remain near their home in death! and to slumber peacefully in the family burying ground, a few hundred feet from teie mansion. Has Stately Trees. Stately trees are among the chief beauties of Hayes. A gnarled and blasted oak of giant size, completely draped with wisteria, breaks the wide sweep of lawn fronting the house. The silver and pale green of young birches contrast with a background of dark spruces, while the seldom seen tulip poplars drop blossoms of, green and yellow. The Hayes fiower garden is old fashioned, with an abundance of Toses, lilacs and peonies. A remarkable scheme of tree plant- ing that in only seven years has trans- formed a landscape is iilustrated on the home estate of Mr. and Mrs. George P. McCabe, on Brookville road. Mrs. McCabe has planned her tree planting both for immediate effect and with an eye to the future. Quick grow- ing Lombardy poplars outline the borders of the estate, but directly in- side this line are sturdy black oaks which will take the place of the pop- lars in a few years. Artistic groupings of silver birches and weeping willows accent the rolling contours of the land and provide a setting for a lily pool. “Spruce Row,” a long avenue of these symmetrical evergreens, and groupings of fine old boxwood also figure in the Pplan of the McCabe place. 60 Peony Varieties. Peonies also are a specialty of Mrs. McCabe, and peony devotees will find more than 60 varieties of this gorgeous blossom in her garden. It is expected that they will be at the height of their ?locmm‘ period at the time of the our. The largest and most remarkable rose garden in Washington, that of Mr. ad Mrs. Whitman Cross, will be included in the tour. There are lit- erally acres of roses of every type in this marvelous garden, although it is probable that Mr. Cross is a bit partial to the hundreds of hybrid tea roses which he has developed. Another favorite of Mr. Cross is his white Mer- maid climbing rose with blossoms four and five inches across. The rose cov- ered pergolas and walks of the Cross place extend for hundreds of feet. There also is an exquisite formal garden, designed by Rose Greeley, with gray stone walls and a shining pool 2nd fountain accenting the massed col- orings of annuals and perennials. Grows Wild Flowers. Another Rose Greeley garden will be Been at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Al- fred Fowler, where stone and marble copings, low box hedges and a higher hawthorn hedge figure in the design. The plan for this garden provides an interesting rotation in color schemes, completely transforming the garden from month to month. The exception 10 the pian is found in one lovely cor- ner which Mrs. Fowler calls the “little white garden.” Here every blossom, rom early Spring to late in the Fall, 1s of white. To many the most fascinating spot | of the tour will be found in the unique | wild flower rock garden of Mrs. Hugh Southgate. With almost endless pa- | tience and skill, Mrs. Southgate has | succeeded in nurturing scores of deli- | cate and rare wild flowers so that they bloom gayly. Among these frail blooms are wild dwarf iris and primroses, wild hepatica, white violets and the little mountain johnny-jump-up, as well as | many to which it is difficult to put | names.

All of this outdoor furniture is sturdy 2nd is painted pale green. Many gay blossoms, rare shrubs and a mirror- like pool all add their beauty to Greenacre One Slave Cabin. ‘The glamour of the past hovers over the quaint little slave cabin on Brook- ville Farm, which Mrs. Frank Hood Shultz has fitted up for afternoon teas | and Summer entertaining. All the proper antiques of the period | have been used by Mrs. Shultz in fur- nishing the cabin. Copper cooking things are on the hearth, while hooked yugs, patchwork quilts and hundred- year-old prints complete the picture. ‘There is even a coonskin natled on the wall and the doorstep is an old bridle welght. Tea will be served in the cabin on_the day of the pil age. Brook Farm is a real farm almost in the city proper, and many visitors will | find the sleek barnyard population as | engrossing as Mrs, Shultz's peonles and snnuals. Rare pheasants and wild ducks are being raised successfully, as are also aristocratic poultry with blue- black combs and silky, furlike down in- stead of feathers. There are a huge turkey gobbler named Joe, of very amilitaristic ideas; two beautiful horses and a shetland pony, in addition to Busie Lee, 3 very large pink and white Ppig.

H, May question of whether Molly S brated wife of the famous Revolutic general, John Stark, ever had her tures recorded for posterity on canvas has precipitated a warm discussion A western oad, which has named one of its trains for the heroine, wanted an authentic picture for advertising pur- poses. A New York art gallery said the thing was simple for it had an excel- lent portrait of Mrs. Stark by John Singleton Copley. A philadelphia museum differed pointing out it had a Molly Stark por- trait, but it bore little resemblance to the one in New York Now, to complicate matters furthe: Otis G.
