THE COMPLETE GARDEN 



All of the plants in the following list possess some characteristic which 

 fits them for growing in dry places and should be chosen for planting in 

 those dry spots upon embankments or on sandy soil where it is so hard 

 to secure results with ordinary herbaceous perennials. While the plants 

 included in this list are called drought-resisting plants they are not 

 such plants as will withstand deliberate abuse through lack of cultiva- 

 tion or other normal care. The attempt to adapt plants of this kind to 

 extreme soil conditions should not be made until a decision has been 

 reached that no changes in soil conditions are practicable or justifiable.
