BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, SUNDAY, MAY 13, 1934 Tour of Virginia Gardens, of Old-Time Charm, an Unforgettable Experience Washington Garden At Fredericksburg Of Historic Interest Garden of Mary Washington at Home in Fredericksburg, Va. 16 B-C Porch or Window Box Makes Good Substitute For City Garden Spot Mi By JANE LESLIE KIFT EORCH and window boxes may be frowned upon by landscape architects, but even though we acknowledge that many we see in th of a season are far removed from beauty, nevertheless we know By MRS. L. L. NICHOLSON, JR.

Spring is the time to refurnish one's mind with new ideas and a new viewpoint, so if you did not go on the Virginia Garden tour this year, by all means, go next April, as it is an annual event. An unforgettable experience, like stepping through the looking glass of this modern world, straight out into the past, you catch enchanting glimpses of another life. Some of the old places visited have managed to preserve somehow their air of dignity, of old world charm and a sense of peace and detachment from this world of hurry iV Jvk.

Even under the best conditions plants in boxes must grow in crowd ed quarters, therefore the soil must Betty Washington Lewis One cannot come to Fredericksburg without becoming conscious of the past linked to the present by many other lovely old houses and places of interest there. For instance, Kenmore, but recently restored to its former dignity and beauty by the patriotic efforts of a group of Fredericksburg women, aided by the Garden Club of Virginia, who acted promptly to save this lovely old place from the ignominy of being torn down and its beautiful grounds sub-divided into building lots. Fortunately in spite of many vicissitudes, many of the original old trees and boxwood at Kenmore have survived and the grounds are being restored with loving zeal to their former beauty. A prim brick walk edged with nodding Spring flowers leads to the simple but beautifully wide front door, which in itself reems to express the very spirit of hospitality.

A house primarily designed for entertaining, the rooms throughout are spacious and well proportioned, with handsome mantels, deeply recessed windows, high ceilings beautifully frescoed, which are said to have been designed by Washington himself for his well-loved sister. These portray in great detail the stories of Aesop's fables and the four seasons. The paneled walls make a fitting setting for the priceless old furniture from the Metropolitan Museum, which seems very much at home here. Thus it must have looked in the days when Betty Washington Lewis was its charming mistress. One comes away with a very clear picture of gracious living and of "other times, other manners." Lovely Chatham Ideally Located Next we found Chatham, per Annuals for Hot Spots Washington.

It was here she elected to spend the last years of her life, in a simple unpretentious frame house, still standing. Left a young widow with a large family to care for. she is described by one authority, "as a woman of much business ability, who managed her farm with skill profit, an uncommon woman of splendid judgment and strong will, untiring energy, deeply religious and very charitable to the poor." What did she look like? In appearance, she Is described to us "as being of medium height, inclined to be rather stout as she grew older, but carrying herself with great dignity." She lived during the Revolutionary War in Fredericksburg and was buried on Kenmore Farm in a spot that she herself had selected. It was in the same quiet garden (pictured), legend has it, she read of the glad news sent by special messenger from her son. the General, that Lord Cornwallis had surrendered at Yorktown! "When the messenger dashed the deserted streets of Fredericksburg, a young boy named Kreiger was urged to follow him and, if possible, find out the news.

Madame Washington was in this same quiet garden. He watched and waited until she had opened the letter with a pair of scissors attached to her waist with a cord. Turning, she said. 'My young man. what do you He explained something timidly, and she said.

'Go tell the gossips that George has sent me word that Lord Cornwallis has surrendered at Yorktown'." Glorious news, indeed, for the struggling colonies! The old kitchen detached from the house has been restored and is furnished with the implements characteristic of its time and period. be rich in plant food. If you live in an apartment where you cannot properly prepare the soil, better get it from a florist. Most plants grow and tones of pink, scarlet to deep maroon. All geraniums bloom pro fusely.

Red geraniums, blue dalsiej (agathea) and white sweet alyssum make a pleasing three-color com bination. Pink varieties, blue ager atum and white sweet alyssum also make an attractive combination. Ageratum, however, is exacting, so give them plenty of root room and a great deal of water. Ivy geraniums used by themselves produce most beautiful effects. The French appreciate their decorative possi bilities and use them to the exclusion of almost all other plants for boxes.

Petunias always do well in boxes in sunny locations. The habit ot growth of the plants make them, adaptable to box planting. Mass planting of one color is always stunning. Of course, you can use two or even three colors. The secret well in what is termed potting soil, ducing shining, burnt orange daisies with black centers, it may now be had in many colors and is an excellent subject for the cutting gar meaning a soft composed of equal Darts of good loam, sand and well den.

Scorching hot weather affects rotted manure. If you cannot get well-rotted manure there is a commercial fertilizer on the market that is composed of dehydrated cow manure, free from weed seeds and it but little, and it is one of the easiest blooms to grow. Transplant' ing should be done sparingly, if at background for all this lcveliness and give a somewhat Italian atmosphere, further enhanced by a charming statuary group seen at the end of a long vista through iron gates. A little pool reflects the last rays of the setting sun, the air is sweet with bird-songs and the scent of lilacs and box. Regretfully, we close the garden gate, for it is tinu for us to go.

Apothecary Shop Of Hugh Mercer One must not miss the old apothecary shop of Hugh Mercer, filled to overflowing with fascinating old bottles of every size and shape. In the waiting room off the main shop, one sees the good doctor's worn saddle bags in which he carried his medicines and herbs to the sick. Some of the original furniture, including a fine old desk, is in this room. Down a winding stairway easy to handle, that is splendid for approaching the house, up a winding driveway, one becomes conscious of a low brick wall, well covered with ivy, that outlines the center part of the upper terrace, through which one approaches the house. This wall is capped here and there with carved pineapples of stone, lichen-gray with age, symbols of hospitality and welcome.

A short distance away, we found a charming idea, the notes of music of "Home Sweet Home," embodied in an ornamental grille of a graceful iron balustrade outlining stone steps leading to a lower terrace in the center of which stands a lofty tulip tree. There is a feeling of intimacy between the house and its surroundings of great trees and emerald lawns. We enter an old courtyard. To the left, a green garden-gate swings to your touch, and you walk all unprepared down pathways of enchantment.

handicap for most annuals, especially if they are planted in dry, sandy soil. But there are several annuals which bear flowers plentifully under hot, dry conditions. The California poppy (eschcholtzia) is a good example, as is the Star of Veldt, known as dimorphotheca, and the old-fashioned rose moss, or por-tulaca. The original golden yellow of the California poppy State flower of that far western State, has been developed into many beautiful tones of a long color range. Seed should be sown where wanted, because it does not like transplanting.

Upstairs again one looks through a doorway at the sunny herb garden beyond. To the left is a small room called "Washington's office," beautifully furnished, in which tradition says he transacted much of his business while in Fredericksburg. It is worth the climb up a steep stairway to see the "powdering room." Here you can see how the ladies of other days put their hea'ds literally through the door, not to be guillotined but to be powdered.

Ideally situated on a high bluff outside historic Fredericksburg, from the front of the house, facing the river, we looked down a series of terraces, through the new green tracery of willows and drifts of dogwood, to the Rappahannock below and the church spires of the town beyond. To the left of the house, as if forever guarding some romantic secret, stands a white pillared Grecian temple of love.

Everywhere there is a sense of balance of the old with the fresh new beauty of growing things, "all the loveliness of Spring." The dark green walls of clipped Virginia cedar form an effective spill over the sides. As the summer progresses the soil will settle and there will be ample room for an application of soil and fertilizer should the plants require extra stimulation. When choosing plants for boxes we must consider plants that will do well in close quarters rather than plants we may want.
