Percy Brown Garden at
Silverton Attracts Many
SILVERTON, August 7. Many
visitors took the opportunity to
view the beautiful gardens of Mr.
and Mrs. Percy L. Brown when
they welcomed visitors and mem
bers of the Silverton garden club
at their home on McClaine street
Monday evening. Although It was
the regular meeting of the club no
business meeting was held.
The Kardens, Mr. and Mrs.
Brown regretted, were not at their
best. The spring and early sum
mer flowers were gone. The late
summer and autumn flowers were
just beginning. The Browns bad
Intended, they said, to have the
garden open to visitors in about
three weeks when more of the au
tumn flowers would be In bloom
but a Monday was the regular
meeting night of the club and so
many visitors had expressed a de
sire to see the gardens members of
th eclub extended an invitation for
the evening.
"But it is realyl an education in
gardening to view a garden such
as the Browns' at this time of
the year," one of the visitors re
marked. "I am glad we were In
vited now instead of three weeks
late. Now so many of our gardens
are a sorry mess. Seemingly Mr.
and Mrs. Brown have contrived to
make their gardens Interesting at
all times and have no 'in be
tweens'." The landscaping of the garden,
with the exception of the rockery,
was done by Mr. and Mrs. Brown
themselves. The location of the
lawn, sloping as it does down to
the edge of Silver Creek, is an
Ideal place for a garden. At the
water's edge grow tall water irises
of oriental origin. A utility garden
which called for many "ohs" and
"ahs," lay between the garden on
the banks of the creek and that
surrounding the house. Besides
the space In this occupied by vege
tables, a portion of it was devoted
to cut flowers and to progagation
and experimental purposes.
A liy pool with its rose and
creamy-white flowers. Its fountain
and its gold fish, drew forth much
comment. A fig tree filled with
fruit was of particular Interest
to many. This, said Mr. Brown,
was four years old and had fruited
each year. When asked If he pro
tected it during the winter months
he answered that he had done so
the first two years but found it
unnecessary. The tree had with-

The true Day Lily was greatly
damired by those who came early
enough to see It in full bloom. A
yeltow calla lily and a profusion of
perennial fuschia, both of which
withstand the winters here unpro
tected, were also greatly admired.
Two firethorn (pyrocanthus)
shrubs were loaded with green
berries, which turn orangelater in
the season, were of interest. A
flood light, with a spot light for
the lily pond, gave the whttle an
estehreal appearance and enabled
visitors to enjoy the garden late
into the evening.
While a portion of the garden is
four years old, much of it si in Its
second season while some is in its
first. The Browns have many
plans for the future 'of the garden.
It Is Just in its infancy yet, they
say.
The attractive house, designed
by DeYoungA Roald of Portland,
was just completed within the
past year and is one of Silverton's
comfortable homes. The wood
work in halls and living rooms is
in antiqued ivory and the bath
room has the Tiffany finished
walls above the blue tiles. The
floors are of Tennesse oak and
many built in features add to the
comforts of the house. There is
an outet in every room for the
telephone, the radio and the call
bell.
A system of sprinklers which
can be turned on from the rear
entry, dampens the entire roof in
case of a chimney fire in the
house or in the homes of neigh
bors from which sparks might fly
to the Brown roof.
Mr. Brown and his eldest son,
Lowell, themselves Installed the
lighting, heating and plumbing
systems. And Mr. and Mrs. Brown
care for their gardens themselves.
A lantern, which will be hung
on the porch, is an exact copy of
the original pantern wmcn Mr.
Brown's grandparents carried
across the plains inT84t.
