THE WORK OF CONSTRUCTION 



QJPRING is the best time to make a 

 ^^ rock garden. When the important 

 matter of the proper site has been put in 

 the past, a definite scheme must be 

 planned. Upon the definiteness of this 

 scheme, much of the success of the rock 

 garden will depend. Here desire will have 

 to be subservient to the situation. It is 

 not so much what you want as what is 

 best in the circumstances. 



. Do not attempt slavishly to copy the 

 rock garden of some one else. All the 

 money in the world would not create an 

 exact duplicate for you, since nature has 

 made no two rocks precisely alike. Study 

 them, of course ; get all the ideas you can. 



But study first, and most, nature more
