Is Graced by Its Garden

Wild Blooms and Informal Flower Beds Await Tour Inspection.

By BEATRICE BURGAN

Mrs. John N. Carey is Indianapolis’ pioneer suburbanite. Twentyfive years ago the serenity of country life enticed her away from her city home during the summer, and eight years ago she moved for per- | manent residence to W. 86th St. Her gardens, built around the rolling levels of the grounds, are to be opened to visitors during the Park School Mothers’ Association Garden Tour Saturday and Sunday. The natural state of her present garden is a far cry from her semiformal one which was the “talk of the town” when she lived in her city home, now the Children’s Museum. That carefully planned garden was the first of its kind in Indianapolis. As I walked around the grounds with Mrs. Carey, she pointed out a bed of heliotrope transplanted from it. .

Grillwork From Town

Another reminder of Mrs. Carey’s city home is the iron grillwork which tops the brick wall, shielding the garden from the country road. The grillwork formerly was trimming on the town home. Mrs. Carey, just back from a trip to Washington, delights that every plant and tree on the grounds are typical of a farm garden. She vetoes any suggestion. of formality. There are no ornaments, with the exception of a sundial— and even it has a native origin. The dial is set in an old millstone, used in early days at Zionsville. The grinding surface with its radiating furrows provides a decorative effect. Flower beds are laid out on the grounds so that patches of color are visible from the dining room windows. A wide sweep of lawn is unobstructed, so that Mrs. Carey has

tance. Spring Water Fills Pond

A spring, with its crystal water trinkling over stones, flows into a lily pond. Another stream winds through the grounds and empties into . Williams Creek, bordered with great trees casting shadows on the water. All about the grounds in shady spots are rococo ‘iron settees. Others are placed where there is a clear view of the countryside. Golden tulips, yellow daffodils, violets, spring beauties, hyacinths and many wild flowers are in bloom. Fruit trees are in blossom. and shrubbery is sprouting feathery leaves. Mrs. Carey likes birds, and has many -bird houses perched in the trees. ; “It's all very unpretentious,” Mrs. Carey remarked. ‘Just a farmhouse

and the kind of garden:you'd expect it to have.”
