Has a Way With. Flowers
By Jane Day
Women’s Editor
As the gourmet owner of
Olney Inn, Mrs. Gertrude Alli
son Brewster might be said to
have her finger in the pie.
But she has a green thumb
In her garden where she raises
the show variety chrysanthe
mums which decorate the tables
at the Inn.
Mrs. Brewster's interest in
flowers and chrysanthemums in
particular led her to design a
special bed for her prize quills
and spider mums which can be
completely enclosed with a re
movable canvas.
This special covering mounted
on a lead pipe framework can
be zipped shut over the top and
around the sides. This allows
Mrs. Brewster to regulate the
amount of sunlight her prize
specimens get and thus prolong
their blooming period.
A peitite 5 feet 4 inches, Mrs.
Brewster has grown some va
rieties as tall as she. She does
her own staking, mulching,
pinching and for some varieties,
makes her own cuttings.
"1 treat them like children,”
she says smiling, "visit them
every day.”
When the flowers are picked,
Mrs. Brewster prolongs their

freshness in the cool wine cellar
of the Inn. She loves flower ■
arrangement and is a member i
of the Little Garden Club of
Sandy Spring. She does all the
big arrangements during chry
santhemum time in the Inn as
well as designing the individual
table arrangements.
Next to chrysanthemum grow
ing, she says, traveling is her
great hobby. But she keeps her
1 flowers in mind and returns
from travels abroad with vases
or attractive objects which can
be used as containers for her
flowers.
On these travels she also i
collects antiques for the Barn
Shopt a the Inn. Mrs. Brewster
opened her attractive antique
shop several years ago primari
! ly because she “wanted to make
use of the old barn."
Her travels have taken her to
Europe a number of times.'
around the world last year and
this winter—the season she pre
fers to travel—she plans to go
to Australia and New Zealand.
Chic, sandy-haired and blue
eyed, Mrs. Brwester appears to
be a fore more likely artist at
flower arrangement than an ex
perienced gourmet witli an
appetite for good food.
Now in her 10th year at the
Inn, which is her home, she
professes to find it pretty hard
at times to maintain her trim
Brewster, who tends to her show varieties
herself.
