ST. LOUIS ASSOCIATION OF GAR- 

 DENERS 



The .Association met at the Forest Park 

 Greenhouses on the evening of March the 

 first. After the usual business session the 

 evening was given over to an illustrated lec- 

 ture on "The Building of Rock Gardens." 

 delivered by Mr. D. .Miller of the Missouri 

 I'litanieal (iarden. Mr. Miller related his 

 experiences with rock gardens in England 

 anti the Eastern United States, and called 

 attention to various methods of construction. 

 These gardens were planted witli various 

 alpine plants, which of course will not stand 

 the climatic conditions of the mid-western 

 United States, and this fact led to a very 

 interesting discussion about the plants suit- 

 able for planting in rock gardens in this 

 section. It was finally concluded that a 

 study of the native material of this or any 

 other section of the country would yield 

 sufficient subjects for the making of attrac- 

 tive rock gardens even in sections where 

 alpine jilants will not succee<l. President 

 Pring led the discussion and the writer as 

 well as others tof)k an active part. After 

 the meeting the members were conducted to 

 the show house of the Park by Messrs. 

 Morit/- and .Strehle, to view a beautiful ar- 

 rangement of Cinerarias.

Now — A Power Mower 

 for Medium Sized Lawns 



For years Ideal Power Lawn Mowers have been used for taking 

 care of large lawns. The thousands (A Ideal Mowers in use have 

 definitely demonstrated their labor saving, money making 

 qualifications. 



However, there are thousands 

 of lawns hardly large enough to 

 warrant the purchase of a large 

 power mower, yet with so much 

 grass to cut that proper care be- 

 comes a big problem— and ;"n ex- 

 pensive problem. 



It was for this vast number of 

 medium sized lawns that the 

 Ideal Junior Power Afower was 

 designed. It is moderate in price, 

 dependable, easy to handle, and 

 costs little to operate. 



The Ideal Junior is exactly the 

 right machine for homes with 

 lawns too large to conveniently 

 care for with hand mowers— for 

 mowing the putting greens on 

 golf courses— and for parks and 

 cemeteries as an auxiliary unit
