Numerous Gardens To Be Visited
 In Junior League Tour

" O "hH hTe fourth annual Junior League garden tour will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday after moons, May 23 and "A, weather per- hitting. This consists Gas the name implies) of a tour of the gardens of Watertown, Middlebury and Waterbury, twenty-one of which are to be opned to the public for those days. It is an opportunity to see some of the really lovely gar dens which there are in this vicin- ity and, at the same time. contrib ute to a needy cause, as the entire proceeds of the Garden Tour go to
 Junior League philanthropies-- namely the Visiting Nurses associ- ation here in Waterbury and Chll-
 dren's Community Center in New
 Haven, which is a home for chill
 dren from New Haven county in
 which Waterbury is included.
 This year it was decided to give the tour in May instead of in June,
 so that people might have an op- portunity to see the spring gardens.
 On Tuesday, May 23, from 2 to 6 you may see the gardens of Water
 bury and Watertown. You may
 start the tour by riding out to Wa tertown where you can leave your children for the afternoon at Mrs Charles Sherwood's. This is the large white house diagonally across from Taft School. They will be competently looked after by Mrs
 Henry Griggs and a. corps of as- sistants, all experts in child guid- ance. You may choose to ride first out to Mrs Edward Carmody's, in
 which case you will return to the
 main road and take the road to the i right which goes to the Riding club. The Carmody's is beyond the l Riding club and up on top of the
 hill-a small white house on the
 left. From there you will have a lovely view and it is the most in
 the country of any other house
 on the list. When you come back
 from Mrs Carmody's, you may cut | through Merriam lane, and turn | ing to the left on the Thomaston
 road, stop for 8 moment at Mrs | Rodney Chase's and view her at- tractive garden. Returning to Wa tertown by the Thomaston road, you will want to go in for 8 mo-
 ment to Mrs Barrow Heminway's | where there will be an exhibition | of flower arrangements on her ter | race, and where you may sit in the sun (and let's hope there will be
 sunD and admire her trees and | flowers. Before you collect the
 children, stop at Mrs Scovilps which is beyond Mrs Sherwood's s
 and Taft school on the corner of the Guernseytown road. There you
 will find more varieties of flowers
 than in almost any other garden
 and you will also find sale going
 on which may tempt you. They
 are planning to have all sorts of I garden accessories, tools for prac-
 tical use, watering cans, fiower- | pots, etc, and for those of us who are not so fortunate as to have gar | dens, there will be bowls and hang
 ing gardens, etc, which can be used | inside. Some of the articles dis
 played will be suitable for wedding ; presents and order will be taken, and prompt delivery guaranteed. If you don't wish to make any eXten- sive purchases, you may make hit
 with your husband by taking home a pound of homemade fudge or a
 dozen Brownies or cup-cakes. | Touring back to Waterbury, you
 may stop at Mrs George Goss's at 30 Church street where you will find all sorts of plants for sale, suit | able for planting out doors or growing inside. On your way up
 Prospect street, walk through Rose Hill (No 63) stopping to see Charles Kellogg's garden which is
 reached by a gate leading from
 near the driveway and then going on to Miss Helen Chase's lovely garden. At Miss Chase's they will
 have articles for sale which are
 made by the crippled children at the Community center. Going out the Grove street entrance, you may | journey to the top of Prospect street to Mrs Julius Smiths garden. | By now quite exhausted, you will
 probably be only too glad to go to
 Miss Margery Hayden's garden at 70 Pine street and sink down and
 have a cooling glass of iced tea and some cookies. After you take the children home and put them to bed and perhaps relax moment your | self, you must be sure to collect | your husband and sally forth to | W again IO N1I6 11dIIlSOll Camps, for there you will find really the piece de resistance of | this years tour. Mrs Camps gar | den is to be transformed temper arily into German beer-garden | German supper for $1.00 served by | girls in their native costumes and
 all to the music of a remarka ble l German band. This will go on from
 5 to and, as the rush will prob f ably be great, it is suggested that
 you telephone Mrs Camp. Water
 town 524, as soon as possible SC that she may have some idea o1 how much food to order. Other
 wise there might not be enough to
 go around.
 The next day, you will find your-
 self well repaid by visit to the
 Middlebury gardens. Before you
 reach the village you will want to
 stop at Mrs N. R. Bronson's at Mid.
 dlebury Four Corners and see her
 small and colorful garden. Further
 along the road which goes past her
 house to Watertown. you will find
 Mrs Leavenworth Sperry's house
